Michelle Brooke: One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Incredible food and atmosphere! My fiancé and I came here for the first time a few nights ago and we loved it. The spaetzle noodles are amazing and so is the schnitzel. I am German and I found the food very authentic, just like my mother’s and my Oma’s cooking. We also loved the pierogis. The atmosphere is beautiful, lovely music, and we had very kind service. The food was prepared with care and the portion sizes are very large! We took leftovers home and had those for dinner the next evening! I can’t wait to come back and eat here again.

Angie Lock: One of the best restaurants in Ottawa. Not only is the food outstanding but the service is just as amazing… the waitress went above and beyond and the owner even came out to thank us for coming. You can tell the food is made fresh daily and completely from scratch - so hard to come by. We will definitely be returning and hope others come to support such a sweet business !!

Tania S.: 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.

Liz Marcil: 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.

Sue M: We went for Afternoon Tea for my mom's 81st birthday. Loved the space at Zoe's for tea - comfy sofa we sat at for our table of 6, large windows letting in a great deal of sunlight and the overall upscale atmosphere being in a chateau! Food was nicely prepared. Personally wanted more savoury than sweet. The grand selection of 20 types of teas was a nice surprise. We had Josie as our server and she was great even brought out an extra dessert plate for my mom in celebration of her birthday!The only reason I rated it a 4 out of 5 is the parking at the Chateau Laurier - there is now none!!! We pulled up with our 4 elderly parents and their friends and not a spot in sight. Found out later they only do valet now at $60 a pop!!! As a result I probably will not be going back there anytime soon. Service is important and with a no parking situation that has turned me off this hotel completely.Vegetarian options: My sister is a vegetarian and I a percatarian. They did a separate tea for each of us. Much appreciated.Parking: None on site or near by. Minimum 15 minute walk.

Nessrin 99: 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.

Mitia Rioux-Beaulne: and very varied. But the appetizers that accompanied the tea weren't the most stunning. Everything was very good, but not exceptional, and therefore a little below expectations. Scones

Sean Kirady: I started with the “sage advice” cocktail. Delicious, but disappointed they put persecco in it instead of champagne per the menu. Service was very good, but a a few times we had to wait for plates while dishes were already on the table. My wife had the “bespoke” wine pairing and I had the “full”; on three occasions we were served the same wine which I found odd. The wines should be different labels in my opinion. The uni, baked oyster and pork belly were all amazing, the Foie Gras with focaccia took the cake in my opinion. We did the 40 bites tasting menu which comes in six “waves” with multiple dishes at once. Food was amazing overall I just felt the experience didn’t match the price tag - which of course can be remedied with small changes. Incredible overall and definitely recommended.

World Wide Reviews: This was truly an amazing experience. I spent $680 here for dinner for 2, fine dining small meals, was well worth it, you won’t regret it

Tom Coxford: An excellent downtown Ottawa restaurant with an awesome selection of cocktails & small bite plates. They also have a great selection of wine, saki in addition to main course plates. Service is amazing and it’s located in one of OTowns oldest courtyards.Do yourself a favour and save room for their yummy homemade donuts for desertVegetarian options: I’d guess 35-40% of their menu is vegetarian based.Parking: Lots of paid downtown parking available near by

Michelle P: . Very rich, flavorful, and creamy...the texture is also amazing.Another thing to not skip is the donuts!!! I got the chef special

Ester ༄: . You’ll find a wide variety of dishes here because the chef seems to love mixing up different cuisines and using ingredients from all over the world in unexpected ways. Theres a special section dedicated to raw seafood and meat, and it’s all super fresh and tasty
