   I have done afternoon teas in other establishments and my experience here was just okay. While the service was great, the scones were not scones. They were small biscuits like you would get from Pillsbury. Nothing special to them and they were actually quite dry. I would expect more from the Chateau Frontenac. The rest of the food was also just okay although the China settings were quite pretty.

   Overlooking the terrace of Quebec City, the service was excellent. Tea selections were outstanding and there was a wide variety of tea types and there were non caffeinated choices. Scones, Devonshire cream,sandwiches and pastries were expertly prepared.

   We had tea and it was an utter delight. I'm gluten-free and vegan; they accommodated me in style.

   Malheureusement, nous avons été bien déçus de notre visite. Les mets ne sont plus à la hauteur de ce que prétend cette salle à manger et aussi eu égards au prix du buffet. Les oeufs bénédictines étaient mal présentés, pas appétissants et pas goûteux . Des croissants “dégonflés” (qui n’ont pas levés), pas suffisamment cuits étaient quand même présentés aux clients …. Mon mari a été malade tout de suite en rentrant à la maison! On nous annonce aussi qu’il n’y a plus de chef au Château … La rigueur semble partie aussi … Nous avons déjà aimé aller au Dufferin mais je crois que c’est chose du passé. D’ailleurs, peu de clients étaient attablés. Auparavant il n’était pas possible de faire des réservations …. Maintenant, on peut le faire car le Dufferin était peu fréquenté lors de notre visite. Des changements, de la rigueur et de la qualité doivent être apportés ! Ça doit changer!

   One of the worst high teas I've ever had! The food was not so good; the tea was not so plentiful and the price was exorbitant!

   La nourriture n’était malheureusement pas très goûteuse et recherchée malgré le prix de 89$. Le thé était bon et le service aussi! Je recommande pour l’expérience mais pas pour la nourriture.
