Review Summary

Place Dufferin offers a memorable dining experience characterized by its iconic location and stunning views of the St. Lawrence River and Dufferin Terrace. Many guests praise the impeccable, friendly service and the vast variety offered at the breakfast buffet, which serves as a highlight for families and visitors alike. While opinions on the food quality range from outstanding to average, the afternoon tea and breakfast selections are frequently recommended for those seeking an elegant atmosphere. Although some diners find the pricing to be on the higher side, the overall consensus is that the picturesque setting and professional staff make it a worthwhile destination to experience at least once.

Had afternoon tea. My 9 year old niece said 5 stars. She really loved the scones with Devon Cream. Delicious food. Surprised by the quality of the salmon in the sandwiches. Loved the blueberry dessert the best.

We had afternoon high tea & it was a wonderful experience. Each tea was so lovely & it ended up pairing well with the different courses. Everything was delicious & our waitress was lovely. There was a piano player who took requests which was such a nice touch. My mom absolutely loved this experience which made it all worthwhile!

My boyfriend & I went to tea time which is absolutely worth the money. You get free 3 hr valet service with a reservation & tea time only takes about an hour & a half, so that's free parking in Old Quebec. Everything we ate was fantastic with the surprising exception of the macarons, which were overbaked & crumbled immediately in the mouth. The tea service was incredible; I didn't know that tea could be that much better. The pear & maple panna cotta was a dream & the scones, which are served with mouthwatering clotted cream, jam, & marmalade, are like biting into a confusing pillow (in a good way). The savory sandwiches were great, & we especially loved the smoked salmon. There was also a wonderfully talented pianist who played during the service.

Fabulous place, but the afternoon tea itself was a letdown. The sandwiches & the cakes are very small. The Scones are alright, but the accompanying jam & the cream were very runny, unlike the British ones. The staff are attentive & friendly, but they don't really serve you much. The interior is nice & the atmosphere was great. They need to learn a lot from the traditional English afternoon tea venues in England.

Great place for a afternoon tea, pianist was great & service very nice, food was a let down, it didn't seem as refined as it should be & not very elevated. Very pricey for the quality of the food.

Enjoyed the high tea which included a starter of a tiny panna cotta, two scones, one savoury, one regular with jam & cream, finger sandwiches of cucumber & another of smoked salmon, some prawns in a small pastry shell, duck terrine on a small brioche bun, pesto cream cheese on a small round of rye & three very small sweet pastries. It came on a stand, but not a proper high tea stand. It was OK. The high tea at the Fairmont Lake Louise was much prettier & had better food. Service was fabulous & great atmosphere which included a pianist, but were seated quite close to other patrons.

Tried the breakfast buffet on our last morning. Food was okay, selection for vegetarians/vegans was very limited. The crepes were good. Overall, the service was lacking as I was not offered tea or coffee when seated & I had to search for a waiter to ask for some juice. The check was placed on my table as soon as I sat down to eat my first plate of food, even though I was clearly not ready to pay yet. After paying, I realized the cashier had not asked for my Accor All membership to credit the points, & upon returning to ask for it to be added to my account, one of the hostesses standing around was extremely argumentative & unhelpful, even though I let her know my taxi was waiting. I've had much better experiences in four-star hotel restaurants.
