PLACE DUFFERIN

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.

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.

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.

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.

Went for afternoon tea. Just a few years ago of course at other Fairmont locations afternoon tea costed back then 55$ per person. But when we went now in March 2025 it now cost 89$ per person. For the experience and service it would be okay but the scones were stale and a bit hard. The sandwich tasted old as the bread was stale. The tea for black needs boiling hot water not just hot water. Plus they didn’t put enough tea leaves into teapot so it was weak. Didn’t offer milk. There teapot gives you 2 cups out of it. They would come around adding hot water but using tea leaves over again instead of new tea leaves only gives you very weak tea. Plus I took their house tea so had to pay $5 more for tea. For a teaspoon of tea leaves this is outrageous as loose leave tea is expensive but not that expensive so they are making a killing off of the tea part. I would still recommend it as a special event but make sure the food isn’t stale as that really is a downer.

Buffet breakfast, was good but was expecting more? Still a good option half you want to see the inside for the Frontenac Chateau and didn't find tours available. Service was great!

I love breakfast. This place felt like royalty. Literally in a castle. The eggs benny was like liquid gold. And the fresh fruits and pastries were just the beginning of the endless breakfast items available.

Dec2024 Indoor terrace restaurant of the Fairmont Quebec nestled atop a prominent hillside of the city. This resto is where guests would be having their morning dinners. Holiday season was busy and bustling as guests came in droves and queues arw much the norm. The food is basic Western European style with a slant to some Canadian fare such as their ham and meat pie. They also offer some in house honey and jams. For a buffet it is standard. It is really the service that is the stat of the place. Quick, efficient and friendly, the servers are very able to handle the large crowds who gather each day to dine here. The receptionists are to be commended for their poise in managing the queues. The atmosphere is a 5 IF you find yourself in the terrace area near the windows which give you a wonderful view. Inside the interiors are understandably dated due to all the foot traffic. A good way to start the day's walking im Quebec City.
