Ideal place for a nice chat, beautiful seating and super comfortable. The food needs more care, too fancy restaurant but food taste not as looks, some of the items taste refrigerated for too long. Tea is delicious, right temperature. Good service, attentive staff but not particularly friendly.

At chateau Laurier you are paying for the ambience. The tea is in pots that cool quickly, the bread for two of the sandwiches was very dry, and the scones were the smallest I have ever seen. Roast beef sandwich was amazing, chicken with cranberries had no cranberries in it. Service was wonderful! Better quality tea at other tea shops. Not a lot for $85 pp

I was very disappointed. I don’t usually write reviews because how you appreciate food is really personal. But for the price of the holiday tea and the venue, my expectations were for a luxury experience. It was not. It started with a line-up to get to the hostess, our table was not ready and it took at least 5 mn for the waiter to come by. The tea was great… The highlight of the experience. The food was sub-par. Everything was either ordinary or borderline bad…like the spicy eclair. Our experience can be summed up by one of the sandwiches…. Half a croissant with roast beef. My daughter said that this was something she could make at home. And the waiter was really not present… no water refill. I read other comments and it seems like others had the same experience. Sad.

Excellent experience to celebrate friend’s 80th birthday. Server Garrick was attentive, helpful and friendly. Zoe’s has been beautifully renovated and creates a lovely ambiance. We enjoyed rediscovering the hotel and admiring the beautiful Christmas trees.

Overall pleasant. Service was good, sandwiches were a little dry. No white linens on the tables made for a more casual afternoon tea experience, which was unexpected.
