High Tea at Zoe's today was wonderful. Our server Chantal accommodated all of our food sensitivities and made sure we had a wonderful high tea experience.

Afternoon Tea - I took my young daughter and her friends to Princess Tea last Friday and it was an incredible experience: the tea, food and service were top notch. The kids were so happy and lasting memories were made. I also just want to...highlight that our server, Josée, was patient, kind, friendly and knowledgeable. She took our experience from great to amazing, and she is an absolute gem. We will definitely return and we hope to see her again. Thank you!More

Gorgeous atmosphere, amazing afternoon tea and desert. Crème brûlée was incredible. I love going in the evening with my husband. I went with my mother last. I keep going back because of exquisite tea, gorgeous atmosphere and amazing service. So elegant. Just fabulous.

...we stopped in at The Château for late evening drinks with an out of town family member. Were told we could be accommodated & were asked to wait for a table. We did. We waited & waited & waited... & almost left but finally seated...& promptly told that they "couldn't make" a drink that was listed on the menu (?!) So 4 drinks later (2 that unfortunately ended up being beer pints & NOT a true pint either) the bill was $72.More

I have been taking my daughter here since she was 3. I miss the trolley for the tea selection. The tea pots are no longer sterling silver and do not fit the ambience. My sandwiches were too fusion. I miss the finger sandwiches. The desserts...are also fusion. Every time I go, I have to ask for substitutions because I’m not a fan of what’s being offered. There was no fruit cup to start. For almost $50.00 a person, I was very disappointed.More

Zoe's tearoom is a must-visit during your trip to Ottawa! Having high tea at Zoe's is definitely something to cross off of your travel bucket list, and is worth doing at least once. The price for high tea is a bit hefty, at around $76...per person. However, the experience itself made the price worth it for myself and my partner. We had tea earlier in the day at 11:00AM and were one of the first reservations seated in the restaurant. We got a "perfect" seat in a corner by the windows, which allowed for beautiful lighting and a great view of the tea room. The decor and table set-up is beautifully done and makes you feel like "royalty". The entire experience, from picking your tea until the end is a great one. First, we were provided a detailed tea menu to select our tea. After receiving our tea in personal metal teapots, our tray of finger foods for two was delivered to the table within 10 minutes. We requested no pork products in our tray of finger foods, and they were incredibly accommodating. Due to our non-pork request, we noticed that our tray of foods had 2-3 noticeable variations compared to the tables nearby us. For example, instead of a vanilla and pink cake dessert, we got a mint fudge cake, which we were THRILLED with- the substitution of mint fudge cake ended up being one of our absolute favorite finger foods on the tray. We loved the experience of taste-testing so many different unique foods. When you first get your tray of finger foods, it doesn't seem like a ton of food for the price. However, each bite is delicious and the entire high tea meal is actually incredibly filling! We are so happy that we decided to have high tea at Zoe's in Ottawa and will definitely be recommending this tasty experience to friends and family, and will visit again in the future.More

We originally wanted to have a cocktail at Wilfred’s however it was closed. Staff directed us to Zoe’s. The restaurant was near empty and yet we were seated next to another table. Our server was lovely however we were subjected to loud arguments at the...next table for the duration of our stay. No attempt to move us to a quieter area despite ourselves and the staff showing discomfort about the experience. We had a cocktail and left without dining so we can’t comment on the menu.More

The Statesman cocktail is an experience not to be missed! The PB is also a fantastic cocktail if you like drinks a little on the sweeter side.

We had not been here in a few years, and decided to try their NYE dinner. We chose an early sitting, and first impressions were great - wonderful space, nicely decorated for the season. And quiet - less than 50% full. Service was friendly but...rushed - we had just started our appetizers when the mains were presented. We asked to have time to finish our first plates and were told that the kitchen was rushing to get everything out, and the server started to put them on the table beside our first course...we asked again and she took them aside. We also asked why the hot dishes wre room temperature and were told that the kitchen they use is at the far end of the hotel, so everyting cools of while being carried over. Odd situation, and indicates poor management if true. The food was nicely presented but offputting that it was served lukewarm, and in such a rushed manner. We noticed nearby tables having the same kind of "fast food" service.More

We enjoyed the afternoon tea at Zoes and the staff were exceptionally nice to us. We are still enjoying the tea we bought to bring home. Thank you to everyone there for making us feel welcome.

High Tea at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa had become a must when visiting family in the city. Beautifully prepared and presented sandwiches were delicious and the pastries a work of art. High Tea was an event not to be missed. Sadly, it has been...reduced to soggy stuffed croissants, strawberries between two slices of grain bread cut diagonally with crusts still on and paper thin cucumber sandwiches with creamed cheese Certainly disappointing considering the high price paid per person. Gone is the artistry with which High Tea was prepared. Sadly, our tradition will be discontinued. We will not return.More

The room is very pretty but in the summer it is outrageouly hot. They need some A/C as we were melting. The service was friendly and the 'high tea' was just OK. The sandwiches were a bit bland and the heat took their toll on...them. The desserts were tasty, but almost $100pp (with a drink...that was warm) it just wasn't worth the stop.More
