Le brunch était généreux. le service amicale et rapide. les cuisiniers attentionnés à nos demandes. très bon miel du chateau.

Excellent breakfast in an iconic location with a great atmosphere. You can enjoy as much food as you’d like, along with drip coffee, orange juice, and more. Their omelette was delicious. The bakery section was quite large, though we honestly didn’t try much from it because the breakfast options were already more than enough and very filling.
The price is around 45 CAD per person (plus tax and tip, of course), but it’s worth it, especially considering that most places charge little less amount without offering an open buffet option. Definitely worth to try once.

Had a wonderful Christmas Eve afternoon tea here. Booked and paid for in advance (back in September) the experience was excellent, delicious food, interesting tea and gracious service. Highly recommended.

The buffet was wonderful. Everything you can imagine plus many pastries, smoked salmon, lunch meats, breads... the list goes on! Excellent service. Very popular in a historic hotel with a great view. Book very far ahead!

So if you have ever tried afternoon tea anywhere in England, you would know what to expect, which was my case. Very expensive for three sandwiches, one stale scone and some cakes. The piano player was making mistakes :( The only enchanting experience was the view.

The experience was fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone. The food, atmosphere and service from Renee was outstanding!

We weren't staying at the hotel but we were still able to have breakfast here one day. The food was great. There was a wide array of food available and it was all very good. The apple juice was also really tasty. It was more like apple cider and we really enjoyed it. The staff were very welcoming and spoke English which was really helpful for us. The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because it cost $50 per person for a breakfast buffet. It was a good breakfast but that price is a bit high.

Great breakfast option in a stunning, iconic location. For around $35 USD, you get as much food as you’d like (did not capture everything in the photo) along with drip coffee and views of the St. Lawrence River. We enjoyed everything we ate, particularly the assortment of pastries, and had a wonderful time exploring the hotel’s boutiques afterwords.

A very poor experience. The quality of the food, especially the sandwiches, is so-so at best. Totally overpriced. If we had had a window seat then perhaps a decent experience but it was not the case. Would not return nor recommend. Even the flower at the table was dead. Regrets
Le déjeuner à la place Dufferin était très bon. J'ai beaucoup apprécié mon chocolat chaud, les omelettes et les crêpes au sirop d'érable. Le service de la part d'Admir était excellent.

The high tea was what you'd expect for a château offering a special experience to its guests. We simply found that it was heavy on the sweets compared to the savoury, although it was all delicious and the tea selection was interesting. The staff was highly trained and ,though youthful, very knowledgeable and pleasant. Vincent was attentive and professional, putting everyone immediately at ease to enjoy our afternoon. As is often the case in Quebec City, we just wonder where the vegetables have gone....

Tout était excellent, excepté les oeufs brouillés qui étaient « pâteux» et lorsque j'ai demandé de la sauce hollandaise, j'ai reçu une autre sorte de sauce. Le serveur qui m'a aidé ensuite a demandé aux cuisiniers de me redonner de la sauce hollandaise, car lorsque je lui aie montré la sauce, il avait le même avis que moi. J'ai reçu la même « sauce ». Sinon, nous avons reçu un excellent service.

Our recent dinner at Place Dufferin was extremely disappointing and left us feeling deeply uncomfortable. We had a reservation at 8:45 pm for four people. The hostess warmly greeted the guests before us, but her attitude became noticeably cold and dismissive when it was our turn. The lady who seated us (blonde hair, wearing black) took us to a table with only 3 chairs, said nothing, and simply walked away — leaving us standing, unsure of what to do. When I asked politely in French about a proper table, she avoided eye contact and gave inconsistent excuses. It felt like she was unwilling to help or even acknowledge the situation. Eventually, another staff member offered us a window table that had been empty all along. The whole interaction was unpleasant, unprofessional, and made us feel singled out in a very negative way. As a loyal Fairmont guest who has stayed at several Fairmont hotels including Château Frontenac, Manoir Richelieu, Jasper Park Lodge, and Château Laurier, I have always appreciated the brand's hospitality — but this experience fell far below that standard. I truly hope the management will review what happened and make sure every guest, regardless of background, feels welcomed and respected at this beautiful landmark restaurant.

Afternoon tea is always such a treat, tea at the Chateau Frontenac certainly fulfilled my expectations. A lovely scone, 4 savories, and sux sweet treats! A lovely view, and a pianist.
