Lovely staff, pleasant atmosphere. Not worth the price. Let's start with drinks, the non-alcoholic pairing is unique in flavoring & the same price as the alcoholic pairing. The first course of lobster is simply okay, the second course of halibut - I had two large bones & two small bones in my last bite which left an unpleasant experience to the course, the third course of meat was good however why would you serve a jus that is red & looks like blood all over the plate? For the final course of desserts it was simply okay however the tart was so frrozen I almost broke the plate cutting it with the fork, the sorbet was excellent. The amuse-bouche & post dessert could have been skipped & you would not have missed anything. Overall for one person it was not worth the $300 price tag. However I do want to reiterate the staff was fantastic, the fault does not lay with them, it was the chef.

Jean-francios G was a delight as a server as a culinary guide & as a human being. My wife & I came to the chateau Frontenac over Thanksgiving & we ate at this restaurant the first day we were there & the last day before we left. I can't say enough about how genuine informative & kind Jean Francois was as he took care of us during both meals. Further the head chef took us into the cheese & caviar room & with patient informative & charming. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The food was spectacular. The vegetarian courses, the meat courses, the wagyu steak, the amuse-bouche were amazing. You cannot go wrong trusting this fine establishment for your culinary & libation needs. Thank you

Le Champlain Restaurant - Fairmont Château Frontenac The food & service both were excellent. The wait staff members (including Marc-Andre) were attentive without being intrusive, & the prix fixe tasting menu was outstanding - particularly the elk (& my wife loved the asparagus). Chef Gabriel Molleur-Langevin is to be commended for his wonderful menu (& the pastry chef deserves special praise!) We were celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary, & I cannot imagine a more eloquent setting, with a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River. Merci!

Our server was amazing... cant remember his name only that there was "jr" at the end. Really sorry!! Super insightful with everything presented. We took Discovery tasting w/ wine pairing. Even though we had a strict time-line before our show, he paid attention to our needs quite well even with a full section. Food was over the top culinary experience, & the wines were paired perfectly. Great job chefs. Merci full!

J'ai organisé un souper de mariage pour ma femme. J'en ai pleuré tellement c'était parfait. Milles merci. Le chef est jeune & trop talentueux. On va beaucoup entendre parler de lui dans les prochaines années. Ses sauces sont quelque chose. Le boréal & les produits de qualité y étaient grandement valorisé. Je conseille fortement

Excellente soirée au Champlain. Cuisine créative & savoureuse du nouveau chef Gabriel Molleur-Langevin, qui est venu nous saluer à la table & un service excellent par Jean-François! Nous y retournerons certainement pour essayer l'Expérience Cellier.

Juste parfait!
J’ai opté pour le menu dégustation végétarien, avec accord, absolument merveilleux. Que dire du service : impeccable . J’y vais régulièrement depuis quelques années, le changement de chef au printemps dernier a donné un nouveau souffle à l’offre de repas.

Fantastique! Nous y sommes allés deux fois depuis l'arrivée du nouveau chef, avec l'expérience du Menu Découverte & l'accord mets-vin. Des plats finement préparés qui changent régulièrement, selon les ingrédients frais du marché. La meilleure partie: le chef propose un menu végétarien en huit services, avec une attention portée à tous les détails. En tant que végétarienne, j'étais ravie de trouver une expérience de menu dégustation sur mesure, ce qui est encore assez rare dans ce type de gastronomie. Il y a aussi un menu enfant, qui est une très bonne manière de faire découvrir de nouveaux plats aux plus jeunes. C'est facile d'accès pour les papilles, tout en proposant des mets inusités & délicats. Très bonne idée!

Par le passé, nous sommes aussi allés au Champlain pour l'impressionnant brunch de Pâques, qui vaut clairement le détour.
