We visited to celebrate a graduation & Father's Day, & the team went above & beyond by surprising us with a beautiful celebratory dessert. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our family milestone truly special.
As someone with a shrimp allergy, I was incredibly impressed by how safely & seamlessly they modified the halibut course for me. The service was absolute top-tier, & the wine pairing was perfection, complementing every dish beautifully. Thank you for a wonderful & memorable evening. We will definitely be back!

Superbe expérience culinaire au Brunch du temps des Fêtes au prestigieux restaurant Le Champlain à l'emblématique Château Frontenac. Un service professionnel & sympathique avec un brunch hallucinant des entrées de fruits de mer jusqu'aux desserts! La table du Roi était magnifique & spectaculaire. Un must du temps des Fêtes! Ça commence toujours très bien l'année. Une tradition depuis 2 ans que j'aimerais bien continuer encore longtemps. Bonne Année 2026!

I chose the regular menu, a four-course meal with seafood, tuna, lamb, & dessert, & I loved it. Some people chose the vegetarian menu & said it was excellent. The atmosphere is unmatched.

We did not care for the 6 course meal. The dessert was delicious, but the only food we cared for was the veal. The lamb chops were all fat. Our waiter was friendly & detailed. Great experience, just not great food.

We celebrated my wife's birthday here in Le Champlain & she was truly impressed by the restaurant's elegance & class. Fabrice was exceptionally warm & welcoming-he regularly checked in with us & ensured our dinner experience was nothing short of perfect. We chose the four-course dinner, & each dish was beautifully presented with wonderful flavors. To top it off, my wife was surprised with a special birthday dessert treat, which she deeply appreciated. Overall, it was a delightful evening that made the celebration extra memorable.

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.

**Brunch** Le service est nettement inférieur au prix payé (s'applique au brunch).
En fait, comme nous achetons un brunch, la note est entièrement réglée avant notre arrivée. Notre serveuse, après être venue nous accueillir après un très long délais sans même nous avoir salué, n'est plus jamais revenue nous voir pour nous demander si on avait besoin de quelque chose. Je peux dire même que nous nous sentions ignorés. Avec le dessert, elle n'a pas offert le café. J'ai dû m'informer plusieurs fois à d'autres personne pour comprendre le fonctionnement. Tout s'explique en se disant que nous n'avons pas à lui laisser un pourboire puisque la note était déjà réglée incluant un pourboire. Mauvaise affaire pour le client considérant le prix élevé.
Par ailleurs, très bonne nourriture, cadre enchanteur.

Nous avons été très déçus par ce brunch, qui ne vaut absolument pas les 95 $ par personne. Les oeufs bénédictine étaient préparés d'avance & laissés dans un réchaud, ce qui les rendait mous & peu appétissants. Il n'y avait aucune sauce hollandaise disponible en libre-service. Le choix d'oeufs se limitait à des omelettes & à des oeufs brouillés, servis dans une panne. Les petites pommes de terre servies étaient quelconques & sans saveur. Il n'y avait pas de jambon, ce qui est surprenant pour un brunch de ce prix. Du côté des fruits de mer, les crevettes étaient de petite taille & sans intérêt, le saumon fumé manquait de fraîcheur & les sushis n'étaient pas appétissants. En revanche, les desserts & le boeuf Wellington étaient excellents, mais cela ne suffit pas à justifier le prix demandé. L'expérience ne correspondait pas du tout à nos attentes, & nous ne reviendrons pas.

Fantastic dinner with a very knowledgeable & friendly server (Manuel)! Our group was able to enjoy this lovely dinner in the Champlain room, where the Québec accord was signed. The food was very delicious, & the wine pairing were wonderful too. The dessert was intricate with many textures & great tastes. Lastly, the earl grey was very aromatic!
