Dramatique ! Pas gastronomique du tout & 5 fois plus cher que ce que vous pouvez trouver en France pour cette « qualité »

First the noise level is irritating. Second, no table linens. Poor lighting make viewing a wine label impossible.
Food is ok but wine pairing is strange. Take any menu & order a glass of your favorite wine...skip their pairing.
Paid over $300pp & concluded that I paid too much & got too little value. Go outside the hotel to enjoy a dinner.

The distance between the tables was not nearly enough for a meal for two. For the price I should be able to have a reasonably private meal with my wife & not have to include the two strangers sitting less than 24 inches away from us. The restaurant also seemed understaffed, resulting in a few errors between our table & the one next to ours.

Restaurant exceptionnel, parfait pour célébrer l’anniversaire de ma douce. Le restaurant du Château Frontenac est dans une classe à part, à faire une fois dans sa vie! Merci pour la belle soirée.

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.

Serveur bruyant qui se donne en spectacle , portions faméliques frôlant le ridicule, service de vins à la va-vite sans intérêt . La présentation de la table , sans nappe blanche , fait cafétéria avec vue , sans plus . Bref une expérience très décevante relevant sincèrement de l'arnaque touristique. Le prix de cette aventure pseudo 5 services : 560.00 $ Bref à éviter à tout prix !!

Great location & atmosphere. That’s it. I know my high end restaurants & locations, so listen up.
Mediocre service, & food. Service was extremely slow for the signature tasting. It shouldn’t take 3hrs+ for it. Wine pairing was also very poor, along with the mediocre wine glasses with pour amount marks.
It’s a tourist spot. I would steer clear & ask your concierge for other local spots.
However, pricing was reasonable. That’s one positive. About $300pp (USD) with wine pairing.

If you’re trying to get laid by some mediocre gal who hasn’t experienced more than a local Outback / Tim Hortons, this is your spot to get lucky. Make sure you rent a nice car.

Otherwise, go to Chez Muffy.

Nous y étions pour les 25 ans de mon conjoint en mars 2022. & je peux vous dire qu’on a eu un service d’exception. Des coupes de champagne à l’entrée au service de Jean-François (oui je me souviens de son nom….. & en plus il a offert le dessert à mon conjoint vu que c’était son anniversaire)…. On a vraiment vraiment apprécier notre expérience la bas.

Rated one of the top restaurants in Quebec City, & after a long drive, we decided for our first night to have dinner at the hotel.

We ordered the prix fixe with the wine pairing.

The food was wonderful, the wine was good, maybe I was a bit over-served ; ) …& we had fantastic service.

My view was wonderful. Unfortunately my husband was looking at a wall which was under construction…this table for two was not very good. The view from our room was much better.
