About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
Overlooking the river, le Champlain becomes the starting point of a culinary journey inspired by Samuel de Champlain’s travels, from the Gulf to the heart of Québec. An invitation to follow the current and discover, throughout the meal, the richness of the coastline, riverbanks, and terroirs that shape our culinary identity.
The river is our guiding thread. Guided by the products it provides and the territories it traverses, our cuisine showcases Québec’s culinary heritage, sustained by the expertise of the fishers, farmers, market gardeners, and artisans who bring it to life. Each plate becomes a stop along the way, revealing the seasons, landscapes, and flavours that define our culinary heritage. More than a meal, we invite you to experience a meeting of gastronomy, territory, and history.

    Beautiful venue. We really enjoyed the ambience. Food was ok. My steak was overdone. Lobster a little rubbery. Fish dishes and desserts were delicious. Server was attentive and clearly loved his job.

    Truly an experience of walking through the lobby and eating at the Chateau Frontenac. The buffet was great. Everything you could ask for on a Sunday Brunch. Note that all alcohol is not included in price. Our waiter Wilson was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and every ingredient was top quality.

    We had an absolutely wonderful birthday dinner at Le Champlain in the Château Frontenac! The food was exceptional, but what truly made the evening unforgettable was our waiter, François. He was, without question, the most amazing waiter we have ever had. His warmth, kindness, and genuine attentiveness made my 79-year-old mother feel so special on her birthday, while also making our young children feel welcome and included. He went above and beyond, offering thoughtful recommendations for places to explore in Québec City and making us feel completely cared for throughout the evening. The service was truly top-notch, and the food was every bit as impressive. The entire experience rivaled the very best restaurants in the world. We couldn't have asked for a more memorable way to celebrate such a special occasion. I recommend Le Champlain without hesitation, and if you're fortunate enough to have François as your waiter, you're in for an extraordinary experience. Thank you for making our family's celebration so special!

    Dining was a memorable experience! We were seated at the window with a beautiful view of the plaza and river. We chose the Discovery Menu which featured delicious plates with interesting sauces and local products. The fresh halibut was exceptionally good. Recommend making reservations well in advance and dining early to hopefully be seated at the window.
