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.

Gute Küche, gutes Service, nette Umgebung. Nur zwei Sterne insgesamt für die unverschämt nebbich-winzigen Portionen. Schade!

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.

We did the Sunday Brunch at Champlain after being told it was a'must do' by friends. Overall, the service was meh, the food was fine. I just didn't think it lived up to the price being charged. If it had included at least one alcoholic beverage maybe.

We decided to have a fancy nice lunch at the Fairmont. & we weren't disappointed. Everything was great. They found a table for us on the terrace. With partial city view (with no prior reservation).The food was amazing. Every bite. Sometimes places with perfect location don't try hard, but definitely not this place.
The wine was even better.

Un souper au Restaurant Champlain, c'est vivre un moment à part dans un lieu qui impressionne dès l'arrivée. Installé dans le prestigieux Château Frontenac, l'endroit dégage une élégance classique, sans être trop guindé. Le service de valet ajoute au confort général, surtout quand on veut pleinement profiter de la soirée.

Le menu met de l'avant les produits locaux avec finesse. Chaque plat est soigné, réfléchi, & bien exécuté. On goûte le souci du détail, autant dans les saveurs que dans la présentation. Rien de trop complexe ou prétentieux : juste de la bonne cuisine faite avec coeur & maîtrise.

La carte des vins mérite d'être soulignée. Les accords proposés s'agencent naturellement avec les plats & permettent de vivre une expérience complète à table. Petite mise en garde : après deux ou trois accords bien sentis, mieux vaut ne pas avoir à reprendre le volant.

Le service était à la hauteur du lieu. Wilson, notre serveur, a été attentif, efficace & de bon conseil, tout en gardant une approche humaine & chaleureuse. Il a clairement contribué à rendre la soirée plus agréable.

En résumé, le Restaurant Champlain offre une expérience gastronomique digne du cadre exceptionnel dans lequel il se trouve. Ce n'est pas un endroit pour les soupers de semaine improvisés, mais pour une occasion spéciale, c'est un choix que je referais sans hésiter. On en sort rassasié, satisfait, & avec un petit quelque chose en plus qu'on garde en mémoire.
