While in Quebec this summer, we visited the restaurant "Le petit château". Quite a controversial place with its pros and cons… + Pros - good location, sitting on the terrace framed by fresh flowers, live music. We were served by a very attentive, polite, cheerful and kind girl. - Cons - mediocre food , outdated interior . We ordered : - Chicken Poke Bowl - Poutine I would like to wish this bistro good luck, change the outdated interior, improve the menu, then this bistro has a chance to become one of the best in the city, conquer a larger audience and please not only the locals, but also the guests of the city.

We so enjoyed the Triple Fondue experience (with chicken)! All of the items and accouterments were fresh and delicious! Our host and server, Alain, was entertaining and knowledgeable. We'll return.

I had a wonderful experience here. The fondue was really delicious and the service was good. Bit pricey but so is everywhere else in Vieux-Québec.

I tried this place while in Quebec City, but it was an average experience. The staff seemed quite lazy and worked very slowly. The food was just average and nothing special. The only positive aspect was the outdoor seating with a view of the Château Frontenac. This place has good potential but needs a lot of improvement.

went for fondue, would not recommend! First their fondue pots are in desperate needs of change! the enamel was wearing off in both cheese fondue we got! the bread was stale! the baked potato was dark and smoosh inside! not sure if it might have been left over from the night before or at least from lunch! it didn’t look like a one freshly baked! The only good thing about our experience was the chocolate fondue at the end! but it is really hard to screw that up😁 also the waiter we had was friendly thus the two star rather than one!

Food was hot and fresh, good portions. Service lacking in follow-up and checking in. We were not the only people looking for service and attention. A bit more details about sauces, used a broth rather than oil to cook. Very tasty, better to wait for broth to heat up to cook properly.

9/9/23 review: I loved the atmosphere here! Outdoor terrace with flowers and umbrellas. My Nutella and banana crepe was wonderful! My SO’s chicken sandwich was good; he would have preferred fried chicken-we didn’t realize that the chicken was grilled-but it was good. Our server was friendly. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

As a connoisseur with American-Ukrainian heritage, I was drawn to the allure of the crepes at this establishment. Expertly prepared, they were delightful, illustrating that simplicity can indeed be the epitome of perfection. A surprising twist was the water, infused with plankton, which added an invigorating zest for those who prefer a more lively alternative to conventional filtered water. Unfortunately, a lapse in cleanliness seemingly resulted in the presence of mold, presumably from an ill-maintained ice machine—a regrettable oversight. The hot chocolate, served with water rather than milk, was a point of contention. While its unique preparation may appeal to some, our preference for a milk-based blend left us disappointed. Enjoying a cup of "coffee on the lake" was an outstanding experience. The coffee was tasteful, probably drip coffee, with no aroma that is required for a good cup of cappuccino. This establishment would greatly benefit from the expertise of someone proficient in coffee and chocolate beverages, who can tailor these drinks to a broader range of palates.

Très décevant la fondue à 50$ vient seulement avec du pain très sec. Il faut laisser le pain mariner dans le fromage pour qu il soit mangeable. L assiette de charcuterie a 25$ vient avec environ 7 morceaux de viande froide et le reste de l assiette est rempli de cornichon. Ça ne vaut pas le prix. Il est préférable de faire sa fondue à la maison, beaucoup mieux !!

You are right in your comment . I will complete my answer. Location: very well located. Effortlessly old-fashioned atmosphere. But correct. Service: good. Server attentive and polite. Food: we had the fondue accompanied by an additional plate of cold meats. The cheese was forgettable. The white wine hid the aromas of the cheese. Not sure its homemade. The bread was...so-so, a little dry. There are excellent bakeries in Quebec. Damage. The charcuterie plate looked more like an industrial SuperC promotion at $5 (charged at $24). In short, we knew, given the excellent location, that we were heading straight for a tourist trap. But we wanted to give it a chance. Avoid if you want to eat well.

We had a fondue and a cappuccino. The bread was disgusting and the fondue was horrible and a tourist trap. The cappuccino was a borderline filter coffee. We still have a stomach ache from this meal. The very friendly employees, it s a shame to have such a location with such mediocre cuisine..

Good morning. The service offered was perfect, waiter friendly and attentive. BUT... The food was really not qualitative. Cold burger with bad tasting meat, small portion for the price. Salad drowned and passed in the vinaigrette. Mayo from the grocery store. Disappointed with the meal. Really great service and beautiful restaurant. The kitchen should be reviewed. THANKS.

Not good at all! The waiter was nice but the food is really not good at all! In the Caesar salad there is only bagged salad with nothing with it....just too much sauce, and for the burger he does not ask for the steak to be cooked but he uses a WAY overcooked steak. I think McDonalds is better.

Food was average and service was a little slow. We had the trio fondue and the burner was not working properly and it took so long for the beef to be done. The waiter had to take it to the kitchen to warm the broth and brought it back to our table. Service overall was less than average.

Guitarist playing got us in to this cozy terrace. Family ambience and a great location facing one of the sides of chateau Frontenac. Food was good portion, crepe and burgers are recommended. Highlight was the onion soup, it had a hint of ginger taste and was delicious! Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with many options and affordable price

The patio with live music was certainly nice on a pleasant summer evening and kid friendly. Unfortunately the service was not good. The server was pleasant, but took 30 minutes and 3 requests to provide water. The food was okay, certainly not worth the price, but for a late day snack it was fine. Just go in with limited expectations.

Absolutely terrible service and food. Waited 40 mins for a glass of water. Chicken burger was canned chicken and inedible. Avoid this tourist trap at all costs!

DO NOT get the cheese fondue. It was SO SALTY we didn t finish it. I told the waitress and nothing done to rectify other than they had a new cook. Should have looked at previous review. The cheese was not that good for Quebec. I love my cheeses ! Avoid and order something else or go somewhere else. Beautiful setting. Employees looked overworked.

Came here for a vacation beer, Francis was amazing. Not just friendly but attentive and efficient. Server to server it s hard to come by.

August 22, 2024

The food was really terrible, Im sorry. Caesar salad is not fresh: its sous vide salad with brown leaves and tasteless strips of sous vide chicken. The chicken wings are not cooked well and just coated in sauce. We also had a ham and cheese pancake and nachos but left everything in the end. There was no background music, cold welcome, no smiles. I absolutely do not recommend

Mixed. The mussels and frittes were quite good. The spaghetti with meat sauce was good, but the portion size was miniscule. I really thought my son was given a small childs portion. I was actually worried my teenage son was going to go hungry. We dont usually get dessert, but in this case, I made an exception. Service was friendly and quick.

On vacation with the little family, I decided to eat at the little castle because there was a singer and the menu looked good. Atmosphere-wise, no problem The music was good and the staff was nice. I am aware that we were without old Quebec and that given its tourist attraction, prices are higher. So I wasn t too surprised to see the exorbitant prices on the menu. We choose a Caesar salad with chicken for $31 and a spaghetti for $22. When the plates arrived, the spaghetti was so small that we had to check with the waiter if it was the one from the childrens menu but he confirmed that it was not (the photo does not reflect the size of the plate). Also, worst spaghetti I have ever eaten! Looks like pasta reheated in the microwave in a grocery store sauce...For the Cesar salad, the size is good but the taste is not there. Basically, they serve you lettuce with a few wet croutons, a bit of grated cheese, a little bit of sauce and some chicken. For $31, it s reasonable to expect a lot more! When the plates arrived, we were so angry! We could not believe that a restaurant served food of such poor quality and in such small quantities. Our server clearly noticed because after bringing us our food, he was careful not to come and ask us if everything was correct... Normally I am a person who tips 18.20% but I was so insulted that I nothing given. Dont go to this restaurant, worst experience Ive had in a very long time!

August 22, 2024

Absolutely avoid, the worst crepes I have ever eaten, french fries cooked in cheap oil. A real tourist trap

Went for fondue, which was very good but....the pot it came in was old rusty and the enamel coating was wearing off. For being right next to the Frontenac you would think they would have a higher standard of quality. Fondue is only served inside...all the service attention goes to those outside. There was only enough bread for half the fondue and it took the waiter a long time to check on us to get more bread. We wouldnt go back.

★★★
July 22, 2024

Food was ok, service was ok but don t ask for extra onion on your burger, that will cost you 1.75 and an extra slice of tomato was 3.95. I could have purchased 3 whole tomatoes for that. I hate it when restaurants nickel and dime you. It s not like we are asking for an extra order of fries. It s a part of your burger. Do you take the price of a tomato off of someone says no tomato or no onion And they don t tell you it s an extra charge. We sat and had a few drinks as well and it s not until I looked a at the bill until after paying Not cool and won t go back.

Don t listen to the negative reviews! This place is great! Great service and food! The beef fondue was awesome!

July 22, 2024

Dishes : - Cesar salad: vacuum-packed and damaged salad, stale bread, and bacon crumbs or even bacon dust, non-existent parmesan. bland taste and impossible to finish - chicken bowl: good... until the rice is not cooked... - vegetarian crepe: just-cooked frozen products and inedible dough. The toilets: dirty, paper everywhere, sinks unusable because broken. (This reflects the kitchen?) Wobbly chairs and dirty tables Atmosphere: thanks to the musician who helped soften this bad experience. I almost forgot the bill: the most expensive of the stay with the worst memory. Go your way

Wife and I both ordered nachos, and both agreed they were the worst nachos weve ever had. Ill describe how they seemed to be made. Start with a wide rimmed soup bowl, not overly large, and put a handful of nacho chips in. Then, pour a bunch of salsa on top of the chips. Add some banana peppers (not jalapeno), and black olives. Top with a handful of cheese. Not spread out cheese, just a clump on top. Bake it quickly to brown the top of the cheese, but not really melt it well or warm the underlying soupy mess. Remove from oven, and add gigantic globs of sour cream and pureed guacamole. And serve. For the record. 1) Dont put salsa onto nachos, it makes the chips soggy. 2) Put sides in dishes on the side, not globs on the rim of a bowl. 3) Spread out the chips on a wider dish. 4) Spread the cheese over dispersed chips. Others ordered poutine which seemed fine.

June 22, 2024

Every time I go to Quebec, I go to this restaurant and normally I am always very satisfied. But since covid my first visit... the menu for crepes is more than reduced. Too bad.. I ordered a salad as a starter and pieces of salad were no longer good... yellow brown and rusty.. I told the waiter but nothing more... the service is no longer what it is he was. No return if we were satisfied or missing something, very long delays after requesting the invoice. I have the impression that there is a lack of staff and also of staff trained in customer service... Too bad, I dont know if I will take another chance to go back next time. . Too bad to see the owners response, instead of correcting the situation to avoid other bad experiences. He prefers not to apologize and attacked... so this week being in Quebec, I wouldnt give it a second chance. My money will be spent elsewhere...

An experience to forget. We spotted this restaurant to enjoy a bison fondue. We were expressly asking in the afternoon, what the person to confirm.

It was something we wanted to try. My biggest issue is the way the fondue is worded in the menu. For 1 people or for 2 people. It caused us to order way to much & spend wayyyy too much money. We got 2 trios for 5 people. Way too much. This place is just way too expensive for what you get. Unfortunately we would not recommend. But our server was top notch. I believe his name is Rafael. I also recommend hand sanitizer if your gonna try this place. The skewers come out on the raw meat. You have to touch them to cook the meat so cross contamination is a real fear.

Well... what can I add. I would say: if you dont know how to cook, dont do it! A few months ago, we came for a fondue. It wasnt so bad. Today we oriented our meal in another way, and oh what a waste. First we ordered nachos. I dont think Ive ever eaten anything as disgusting in Quebec as this stuffing. Nachos topped with this jarred Doritos sauce from the supermarket, with a basura guacamole also in a box, and with a cheese coulis masking this shameful $19 recipe. WTFLUKE. Obviously served on a small plate (stingy but ouffff ultimately).. Big shame. Then the kids received their microwaved plates of spaghetti with jarred sauce. And of course, disgusting TABER... If you cant cook, dont cook. go home. But dont serve such dirty food... For our part, we ate two Cheeseburgers, and WOW! They know how to make junk food. The bread was good, the burger too, and the 3 fries, rather soft. wow! A miracle. The atmosphere is dead like the food there. It was our last and final time in this restaurant which would do well to change owners. $99 + 7% tip, for the gesture. No more ever again..

If you want a Fondue experience to remember, Le Petit Chateau is a must!

This was a dinner experience i wont forget.

Worst fondue of my life. Deplorable welcome

February 22, 2024

the price announced for the fondue for 2 remains high; regarding the chocolate banana pancake dessert with whipped cream, the pancakes are too thick, the pieces of banana green and too big as for the whipped cream it was sour. I do not recommend cider as a drink because it is served in industrial cans at an exorbitant price..... Very bad experience; I do not recommend it.

January 22, 2024

Absolute SHOCKING experience. The staff should be ashamed with how they treat their guests. It was our first night in Quebec after a 10 hour drive and we were very excited to dine at your restaurant. The waitress was very sweet and nice. We were two couples and got the trio. Cheese, meat, and chocolate fondue. The cheese fondue was great! The meat fondue was very mediocre. Tiny salad served and no difference types of steak, just one. This is not like other fondue places. The dessert came and it was supposed to be a chocolate fondue. It was HOT CHOCOLATE! I am not even kidding you! They put milk and hot chocolate mix together and put together the worst dish to dip. I nicely told the waitress that the cook gave us hot chocolate. Before I could even finish telling her, she knew, this was obviously a very common complaint. She went to get us actual chocolate and NEVER CAME BACK TO THE TABLE! We were there from 8pm-11pm. I kid you not. The table next to us got chicken fondue and the broth was so cold and wouldn t heat that the chicken was RAW. Some other waiter came back to us and told us and the other table to pay the full bill and leave because we offended the chef. You could of given that table food poisoning or salmonella. We never received the actual chocolate fondue. The kitchen staff was peeping out of the kitchen at us laughing. The table next to us asked for the manager and told them there wasn t any manager that night. We paid up and left. Please save your hard earned money and do not support this business. The staff should be ashamed.

The food was so bad the waiter told us he would not eat what we were served! They wouldn t remake the chocolate fondue (hot chocolate powder and milk) and were asked to leave because we offended the kitchen with our request.

Very expensive for little food. Poor quality bread with the cheese fondue and few accompaniments for the wild meat fondue. We also had a portion of beef, but it wasnt even a third of a package of grocery store beef fondue for $60. The decor is outdated and in no way reflects the luxury of Château Frontenac. It looks more like a cafeteria. We will not return there.

Absolutely shocked at how poor the food and service was. We made the 10hr road trip to Quebec City so excited for dinner but that never happened. We waited over an hour for the beef fondue which wasnt great at all for the cost of this. The dessert... I could do a better job! The Chocolate fondue wasnt chocolate it was hot chocolate. I am very disappointed in myself for spending my hard earned money here! Please guys do your homework and look at reviews before attending.

Very disappointed. The welcome went very well, a smiling and attentive person, nothing to say! First downside: the dishes arrive, for my part a Chinese fondue style poutine, was it a surprise when I tasted my dish which was cold, impossible to eat half frozen fries cold sauces cheeses the same the only warm thing was the meat above for the inedible thing I asked for it to be reheated, the result was not much better but I gave up second downside, given the quality of what we ate we we decided not to leave a huge tip, it didnt please us and we were entitled to quite a few thoughts even two because the person came back to the charge, and almost asked us to pay a second time only to add more. Tips. I dont mind putting more Tips when its justified but absolutely not here. Its too bad.

I really recommend this restaurant but even more to have Raphaël as a server. Additionally, the food was very good. P.S: Little message for the boss of the little castle. Keep it! Raphaël is your best server!

Very expensive for little. Disappointment. I dont recommend the fondue trio for three people. Portions not at all generous, party playlist that didnt have any atmosphere, fruit not fresh at all, doesnt EVEN serve the nun of cheese fondue!

Found plastic or ceramic pieces in my drink. Told that to our server. They said it might be from the dishwasher. Still got charged for the drink. Stay away

Dog friendly terrasse, which is why we ate here. Staff is very nice and friendly, however the food is mediocre, especially for the price they charge. We had nachos, French onion soup and a chicken sandwich. The sandwich barely had half a chicken breast inside, the nachos were not restaurant worthy and the French onion soup tasted like it was from a can. Only reason I m giving it 3 stars is because staff was great and they accept dogs. I would not recommend.

My father and I sat to have a drink during the afternoon, so I can not personally speak to the food. I was envious of the nearby tables with food, though. Everything looked and smelled fantastic. Not cheap, but seems fair as it is a historic tourist area. Drinks ranged 12 to 20 CAD/ glass. Parking: It is walk up only Wheelchair accessibility: The entry to the restaurant was 4 stairs. I could not see any other entryway.

Very disappointed with this creperie, poor service rating, not that the waitress was unpleasant, on the contrary, but it took us a long time to be served, we felt like it was a shot and yet many tables were empty . As for the cuisine, pancakes without flavor or originality. Expensive for what it was. To go back maybe their fondue is better or the other dishes, in any case I dont recommend the crepes.

A surprise experience exceptionnelle whilst ambling, without a compass, on a new road. My fortune continued inside a high stone-walled patio where a language-teacher (Princess Fyona) fought the brilliant sunshine with her smile -- serving me the chefs enjoyable Crepe Dufferin. Now, I must build my future castle in Quebec City.

We waited for our food more than 45 minutes and it was just 2 dishes. They were not that busy with several empty tables. In terms of food, the Chinese fondue was actually really good (hence the only star that they get) but the mushroom crepe was tasteless like a sheet of paper. The servers were hysterically running around, and dropped a cup on the floor with all that frenzy of course. Do not recommend.

We love fondue and we were drawn to spend one of the couple nights we had in Quebec here. The patio outside seemed like a good ambience and we went for a try. We had to wait on a line for about 10-15 min to speak with a hostess. He then informed us that they were not serving fondue for the patio tables, so if we wanted we would have to sit inside. We imagined that we would sit inside by some glass doors that were opened and we accepted. Unfortunately we had to sit in some other area that had nothing special and felt uncomfortable. We ordered a cheese fondue which was good but nothing special. Patrice was our server and he was very friendly - for him I would give a 4 stars review. It just seemed that they were understaffed and we needed to wait a bit longer than usual.

We didnt wait at all and were served very quickly. The servers are very nice and the service is fast. On the other hand, the poutine was cold and the portions were small. I had to add a lot of salt to my spaghetti to make it taste good. There are definitely better restaurants that are also cheaper.

Frozen burger. Added on a poutine to the burger instead of fries and a small amount of cheese and gravy cost an extra 5 dollars, crepes were fine. Could ve went to Wendy s and got better food for less. Service you had to search for. Don t get tricked there s much better places. 50 dollars for just 2 plates. Not worth it

I went in to enjoy a crêpe hoping for a delicious experience. The room temperature was very cold (I had to keep my winter coat on) with an intense smell from all the pungent cheeses being served on trays at other tables. The place is lovely from outside. I hope they will work on improving the experience as this place has a lot of potential and is in such a perfect location.
