Buffet breakfast, was good but was expecting more? Still a good option half you want to see the inside for the Frontenac Chateau & didn't find tours available.

Service was great!

A good buffet breakfast if you are staying at the hotel. The hostess will let you sit where you want when you say you will pick your own seat. Good food. Good service.

Solid hotel breakfast buffet with comforting breakfast classics & friendly service. Came here for breakfast during our recent stay at the hotel. Given the size of the Fairmont Frontenac, I anticipated its restaurant to be busy, especially in the morning. However, I was surprised to find out that it was almost empty when we arrived at around 7:30 AM. The buffet selections were fairly basic. It featured a decent range of savory & sweet items, including waffles, scrambled eggs, breakfast pastries, fruits, & an array of charcuterie like prosciutto & cheese. So I ended up getting only one plate, & some of the standouts included the freshly squeezed apple juice, the ham slices with horseradish sauce, & the croissant. However, the other items on my plate were fairly average in comparison. One of the servers insisted that we try their maple pudding, & it turned out to be a nice sugary finish to our meal. Its flavor & texture reminded me of honey cornbread drenched in maple syrup, & its comforting & homey taste was quite pleasing. For guests at the Fairmont Frontenac with complimentary breakfast included, the Place Dufferin buffet is a convenient & satisfying option. However, if you have to pay out of pocket for the buffet, I'd suggest exploring other breakfast or brunch restaurants around town as there are so many better options.

Amazing! I love the breakfast buffet that they offer. On our last day at the Chatue, we were served by the lovely waitress, Isabelle. She made our last day memorable & fun as she was very personable even if it was a short period of time. Thank you for your hospitality!

Ordered a la carte. Oatmeal was the best we've ever had & the traditional was a great eggs & bacon option. Not the cheapest breakfast but great quality. Definitely coming back.

We had the breakfast buffet here as the other hotel restaurants aren't open yet. The food was great, but there is so much to choose from that we probably would have been better to choose the a la carte option instead of the buffet. The restaurant is right on the Dufferin terrace, so you get to see the boardwalk but not the view of the river.
