Restaurant Champlain (Château Frontenac)

My overall rating for my experience at this establishment is a 6/10 for the following reasons. Despite very friendly & enthusiastic staff the food was terribly underwhelming (except for the cheese which was amazing) My family & I have dined in the bar (which was superb) & the poolside terrace (which was great) but after a 4 hour long "discovery" tasting menu we left feeling more confused than accomplished. Your server will ask if you have any food allergies & offer to substitute between the meat experience (halibut, elk & veal) & the vegetarian experience (asparagus, bok choy in heavy vegetable sauce,& veggie pasta) however none of us were aware all entrees would be served room temperate or COLDER, with the fish arriving ice cold, the veal ruby red on the inside & the elk refrigerator cold. I know Canadian restaurants don't usually serve piping hot meals like in the states but other restaurants let you know in advance & let you have some choice in how your food is cooked. I feel like options were limited for the price & we didn't get our value for the price of 134 per person for four courses. Perhaps this is the norm for a tasting experience where you get what you are server eat & don't complain unless you really hate it but sadly we didn't like ANYTHING except the cheese & its too rude to return 4 dishes especially when you know everyone worked hard but we failed to see the big picture.

Il faut savoir que c'est un menu dégustation. Si nous avions eu accès au menu nous ne serions pas aller. Des plats comme le ris de veau & le wapiti ne plaisent pas à tout le monde. On s'est contenté d'une côte de boeuf à partager à 4 ( 25 onces) . Ordinaire! Vraiment trop cher pour ne pas trop aimer le repas. Pas de nappe sur les tables & on a dû demander des verres pour le vin rouge. Sur la table on présente que les verres à dégustation. Décevant

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!

This restaurant is highly overrated. Don't waste your money here. We had the worst service ever. Had to ask twice for a wine menu. When I asked if we could order a glass a wine our waiter said he had other fires to put out. Food was nothing great. Very salty. After we were almost done with the charcuterie board, the waiter said that he would bring us plates. The evening ended with the waiter asking us about the tip amount.

This restaurant is located in a famous castle in Quebec, making it an ideal visit for those wanting to explore the castle's interior. Compared to the renowned castle hotel, this restaurant holds its own remarkably well. They offer a tasting menu that incorporates local Quebec elements into French cuisine, showcasing the unique characteristics of Quebec's culinary scene. Unlike traditional Quebec cuisine, they incorporate modern cooking techniques & ingredients from around the world, resulting in innovative & exploratory flavors. Additionally, the service is exceptionally warm & welcoming, making you feel at home. The window seats offer a fantastic view of Quebec, enhancing the dining experience. The portions are generous & reasonably priced, ensuring you don't leave hungry after enjoying the tasting menu. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Quebec.

Went here for the Sunday brunch Many great options - quite enjoyed the food Sushi is not their forte, but the lamb was The cool cutting the lamb was giving very small pieces - but if you spoke to him in French you would have a larger piece. I wonder why? Overall a good experience
