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.

This place is amazingly beautiful & elegant. The staff was super friendly & very helpful. The food was just okay. The buffet food wasn't great but you get a lot of it! The omelet station didn't do a great job of cooking the vegetables before the egg was added resulting in semi cold vegetables surrounded by barely cooked eggs. Still this is a must see location even if you dont eat here.

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.

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.

Big fan of breakfast buffets, & this one takes the cake! Personalized omelets, & a great selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, fruits cheeses & other items. Everything was super fresh & tasted amazing!
