The service was friendly and good, bit they seemed to be having issues with the orders. The food was very good.
We needed to be at an event. Advised our waitress of the urgency. She understood and made sure our breakfast was plated in a timely fashion. She was very polite and professional. Made good eye contact. Food was very fresh and satisfying. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent buffet brunch!
I enjoyed the buffet - everything was very good. I also like the option of gluten free
If you would like to pay $40 for a buffet breakfast this one is ok. All food was hot and fresh, I wouldnât recommend order from the menu. Our first morning we all ordered from the menu, the food all came at different times and was completely mixed up. The next morning two of us went for the buffet, two others had simple orders and one ordered from the menu and that order took close to 45 minutes to arrive at the table without an explanation or apology.
We had a wonderful breakfast at Wilfrid's for a special occasion for our small family of 3. The atmosphere is top-knotch! we chose the a-la-cart option for breakfast (as opposed to the buffet) and it was a quite a surprise to wait well over an hour for our food and then receive it a bit warm. I'm not sure if it was the kitchen that was overwhelmed or the servers- but it was clear that more people were seated than they had the capacity to serve in a timely manner. They were also not preparing some of the items on the menu (and we were only told this when we ordered, not when seated). There are also some items on the kid's menu that aren't on the main menu (the Canadian classic of the maple crepes being the most notable!). I will likely return because the setting and food were great. I hope they consider having smaller seatings though- I'd rather just be told to have a later reservation than book an early time only to be ignored and waiting for 90 minutes.
Shockingly disappointed. Food was fine. Selection was less than it has been in the past; the standard items such as the maple crepes and the benedict were well-made and the accompaniments such as the cheeses, breads, and patisserie were of high quality. But the other dishes left a lot to be desired. "Paella" was bland and had the texture of an overcooked risotto. Salmon in salsa verde had no flavour. Overall the food was just okay and we could have found similar quality and more variety elsewhere. Even more disappointing was the overall experience. One of our chairs still had food on it from the previous diner; a menu was smeared with what appeared to be ketchup. Tongs and serving spoons were in short supply. All of the people we interacted with were gracious, lovely, and doing their best but it's clear there are some issues. Worst was the parking situationâbe warned and plan accordingly. The booking service states that "Fairmont Château Laurier offers a limited number of self-parking spaces for guests." When we arrived and asked to be directed to this self-parking, we were told that the only option available to us was $30, cash only valet parking. Given that we arrived 10 minutes before our reservation, and my guest was a 70 year-old with limited mobility, at that point parking elsewhere and walking over was not an option. So I had to run into the restaurant and withdraw cash to pay the valet from a machine that charged yet another $5, while my disabled, elderly guest had to sit in the middle of the arrivals lane feeling conspicuous. It was an embarrassing, uncomfortable fiasco that further tainted an otherwise disappointing experience. Not remotely on par with what I expect from Fairmont.
Brunch is not impressive as it used to be before , donât send $88 for 2 , go to Cora, it will be way much better than here . In the past the brunch was amazing ! Presentation , many varieties, now is pretty sad , just go to Cora
200$ for a breakfast buffet⦠says it all
The most expensive of all the âDestination brunchâ from all fairmont hotels, it was the most expensive with the worst service and smallest selection of food. At the Quebec City hotel, they call you by name, serve you fresh coffee and juice table side, and clear your table frequently.
