                                                        Zoe's at Fairmont Chateau Laurier offers an exceptional high tea experience, with "amazing service" and "delicious food" consistently praised by guests. The temporary mezzanine location doesn't match Zoe's original ambiance but doesn't compromise on "quality." Guests appreciate the "thoughtful service" and "impressive tea selection," making each visit memorable.

                                                          I brought my mother in law to Zoe’s on Boxing Day for high tea. The hotel and restaurant looked absolutely beautiful and the food was outstanding. However, the service we received made the day. Everyone from the parking valets, to the hostess, coat check and especially our waitress made it a special day with their cheerfulness and outstanding service.

                                                          High tea. It has been our Christmas day tradition. However, this time, I think we are paying for the renovations. The portions, especially the gluten free ones were the smallest we’ve ever had. The first thing we noticed were the tiny scones. They had been our favourite, but they were so tiny. We also noticed the absence of the macaroons. It’s pricey and I think that unfortunately, this will be our last time. We love Zoe’s and Wilfred’s, but I guess the portion sizes do not match the money anymore.

                                                          Our table was not ready at the time of our reservation. Service was slow and it took forever to get our bill. I think the server forgot about us. The restaurant was uncomfortably cold. Food was so so at best and the children’s food was unappealing and not particularly tasty. I have attended this Holiday Tea many times and in the past it was lovely. It is expensive and this was definitely not worth what they are charging. Very disappointed.

                                                          It was very cold today at Zoe’s. All the children needed blankets. Thank goodness they were provided to the children in the restaurant. Some of us adults put our winter coats on. We all ordered hot chocolate to help get warm. The hot chocolate was definitely not hot. Last year’s was so hot and decadent. The server was lovely and tried to meet our needs but she was clearly running around trying to serve all her tables and tried to stay warm. The food was delicious as always and the server was able to accommodate our likes and dislikes. Although our experience was disappointing I hope next year will be better because we want to make Christmas tea at the Chateau Laurier a yearly Christmas tradition.
