One of the best meals of my life! From the moment we arrived, everything was impeccable-the service, the views, the ambiance, & of course, the food. We opted for the full tasting menu & paired it with a bottle of wine we selected ourselves. Every course was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible flavors & artistry. Having dined around the world, this experience stands out as truly exceptional. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure. We ordered the wagyu beef entree on the side & it was INSANE (10/10!!)

Beautiful setting. We got to lunch buffets on a Sunday with a reservation. One customer took all the strawberries, which I found tacky, & they didn't replace them while I was there. I didn't care for the cheesecake. We both agreed the smoked salmon was the best either of us had ever eaten. Everything else was very tasty. The strawberry banana smoothie by the milk was the best of the three. Blueberry was full of seeds, & the mango was good. We didn't drink alcohol, but it was offered. I'd visit again.

We returned for our anniversary. The first day at the Chateau I went to the restaurant to ensure everything was confirmed with our reservation & location in the restaurant. On the Saturday night when we arrived they tried to seat us in the area with no windows. But then agreed to move us to atrium space. The meal was o.k. & certainly over priced at all in $425.00 for 2 people & 1 glass on wine. Also, if you want a first class restaurant, you should hire a professional interior designer to select your tables, chairs & lighting. Not your kitchen staff.

I went there with my daughter in a recent visit. Fine dining in beautiful settings. The hospitality offered by the head hostess, Victoria, is world class.

An absolutely top-notch dining experience with great food, wine & service to match. We enjoyed the Sunday brunch buffet which was terrific & dinner one evening which exceeded our expectations. The charcuterie board presentation is really cool & unique. The sommelier was very knowledgeable. Overall, this was the best part of our stay at the hotel.

Ce n'est plus un endroit adapté aux enfants malheureusement. Le Château & le Restaurant Champlain est une halte gourmande pour notre famille depuis quelques années déjà. Nous y allons presque deux fois par an, à l'occasion des fêtes & également en été. Lors de notre dernière visite, nous nous sommes rendu compte que les enfants n'étaient plus les bienvenus. Autrefois, il y avait un menu adapté aux enfants, mais lors de notre dernière visite avec des amis, nous avons constaté qu'il y avait maintenant un menu dégustation pour les enfants assez compliqué, qui a clairement été confectionné par quelqu'un qui n'a pas d'enfant. Cela a été une déception pour nous, car ce changement rend l'expérience beaucoup moins agréable. Nous avons passé la soirée à gérer les enfants qui ne voulaient pas manger & qui avaient faim, au lieu de passer une soirée où tout le monde pouvait profiter. De plus, le service était un peu spécial. On nous a servi nos plats pendant que nous buvions des cocktails, & nous devions sans cesse expliquer aux serveurs à quels enfants les assiettes allaient. Bien que les enfants avaient aussi un menu dégustation, personne ne leur expliquait ce qu'ils mangeaient. Au final, le menu dégustation pour adultes était excellent. Mais l'agréabilité de notre repas a été ternie par le reste.

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!
