I am always so used to have walked by that restaurant looking in & I had never actually set foot inside. I was more than pleased the place was just splendid. Like the sign says at the entrance it was quite a magical vacation moment...The melted Brie kind of stole my heart but I also enjoyed the traditional breakfast food... Could not try it all but wow experience totally. Nespresso was more than welcome!

Excellent breakfast. We did the sit down & ordered waffles, eggs benedict & oatmeal. The oatmeal was beautiful! The buffet looked perfect for families with hungry kids. The food was incredible. Service was amazing. Only reason why I gave it a 4.5 is because I don't think there is a patio.

The breakfast experience here was surprisingly disappointing for a hotel of this level.

First, the selection was quite limited. More importantly, the fruit was clearly not fresh. The strawberries looked wilted, & when I tried one it tasted dry, sour, & almost bitter.

Second, the waiting system was very poorly managed. We had to wait around 30 minutes just to get seated. During that time we asked the front desk three separate times, & each time we were told it would be another 10-15 minutes.

Only after we became visibly frustrated did they suddenly say a table was available & let us in.

If you can't host that many guests for breakfast, get more tables. Plus, the food was NOR WORTH the wait anyways..

Excellent breakfast in an iconic location with a great atmosphere. You can enjoy as much food as you'd like, along with drip coffee, orange juice, & more. Their omelette was delicious. The bakery section was quite large, though we honestly didn't try much from it because the breakfast options were already more than enough & very filling.

The price is around 45 CAD per person (plus tax & tip, of course), but it's worth it, especially considering that most places charge little less amount without offering an open buffet option. Definitely worth to try once.

We weren't staying at the hotel but we were still able to have breakfast here one day. The food was great. There was a wide array of food available & it was all very good. The apple juice was also really tasty. It was more like apple cider & we really enjoyed it. The staff were very welcoming & spoke English which was really helpful for us. The only reason I gave it four stars & not five is because it cost $50 per person for a breakfast buffet. It was a good breakfast but that price is a bit high.

Great breakfast option in a stunning, iconic location. For around $35 USD, you get as much food as you'd like (did not capture everything in the photo) along with drip coffee & views of the St. Lawrence River. We enjoyed everything we ate, particularly the assortment of pastries, & had a wonderful time exploring the hotel's boutiques afterwords.

Great option for a nice buffet breakfast inside the iconic Chateau Frontenac with beautiful views of the Dufferin Terrace! Service was great, buffet was plentiful with many options. It was a wonderful way to start our day of exploring Québec City!

I made a reservation for a breakfast buffet at the Place Dufferin. When I arrived at the cafe, I waited for 5 minutes for my table. As I being seated, the server greeted me with my name . What a personalized service. The Buffett is a little bit pricey. I asked for the window table overlooking the promenade. What a nice morning to start in Quebec.
