Zoe’s – Fairmont Château Laurier - Ottawa, Ontario

We had Afternoon Tea at Zoe's inside Chateau Laurier in Ottawa last week. The service was not very good (example: our food was served before our tea was served and the server never came back to ask if we needed more tea). Liked the variety in savouries and sweets. VERY ... disappointed in the lack of clotted cream for the scones. Generally food was okay but at $70 per person I expect real clotted cream and better service. Read more

Went for afternoon tea. The place is amazingly bright and beautiful. Very welcoming atmosphere with incredibly attentive service. Got a tower with bites which includes scones, mini sandwiches, sweet treats. Paid around $200 for two. I should admit it’s not only about tea and treats but about socializing and having an experience.

We went for afternoon tea and had a lovely experience. The venue is beautiful, the tea selection is vast and diverse, and the food was great. Honestly though, the service was what made the experience a perfect 5/5. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and took care of us. The only notable ... pain point, in my opinion, is the price. We paid $400 for 4 people, which is certainly steep for tea and light bites, but the experience is worth it for a special occasion. Read more

The place was great and very welcoming environment. Was so romantic and fancy. Very wide area and super charming staff. WE had the beef tartare which was super delicious. Then we got the beet stained salmon and Mariposa Duck confit with veggies. They’re both very delicious and overwhelmingly tasty. Never ... had something like this before. Veggies in the side with sauces were wow yummy. I really enjoyed their food. I will for sure come back again. They offer valet parking as well which was very convenient and helpful in the midst busy downtown and paid about 25 for 3-4 hours. I highly recommend it. Read more

My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate his birthday. There was a great ambiance, but we found it to be overrated and overpriced. The quality of food and service was’t worth the price. We ordered two starters, two main dishes, one dessert, and four drinks, and the ... total bill came to $275, plus tax and tip. Despite being a high-end restaurant, the service was not up to the mark, and the pace was quite slow. The only dish we really enjoyed was the grilled Brussels starter. The rest of the food was average. Read more
