Afternoon High Tea at Zoe's is magnificent and worth every penny! We had such an outstanding experience and as a culinary designer of tourism products, this afternoon was top notch at every touch point. Our server Garrick was exceptional and made us feel so special with his care of attentiveness to dietary restrictions and questions. We had a birthday in the group and they were so thoughtful. The tiers were loaded with specialty goodness and the tea just divine. We had a seat overlooking the street and loved it. Thank you Zoe's and Chateau Laurier. Cheers, Spicy Jan

The high tea experience at Zoe's in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier is an experience you will never forget! The room is gorgeous—elegant and cozy at the same time—and the whole experience felt like a treat. The tea selection was beautiful, and everything on the tiered tray was so pretty and delicious, especially the scones and little desserts. It was the perfect afternoon indulgence.

I had a mixed board with my girlfriend! The service was a 10/10. This charming lady took the time to have a conversation with us as we were just in Ottawa for 24hours. She made it all worth the experience. We've decided that we will make it a tradition.

Excellent experience on a Saturday evening. Tuna and braised ribs were superbly done. Wait time for the meals was reasonable, circa 35mins Waiters were professional.

We had a really lovely time for High Tea. Our waiters Chantal and Hensel were absolutely lovely and accomodating. The menu gives regular, vegetarian and vegan options and they let you swap individual items without fuss. We got a vegan and a regular and everything was tasty. The tea selection is varied and my earl gray was so good I asked for more water. The atmosphere is just right : with enough background noise that conversations can remain private, yet there is no need to speak louder than normal to be heard by your friend. An overall great experience!

We were in Ottawa for a few days celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and decided to go to Zoe's for some apps. We ended up having Champagne and a very nice charcouterie board. Our server Janette was amazing! She surprised us with a beautiful dessert from the pastry chef! It was a wonderful afternoon!

We visited just for drinks, but then tried their truffle fries with raspberry ketchup (made in house) was an excellent touch. They have a lemon merengue dessert 20/10 highly recommend. The staff is very friendly

My girlfriends and I had an amazing time at Zoe's. Fortunately, there's the opportunity for valet parking (25 cash), and the restaurant was super easy to find. Though we were welcomed with weird energy from one of the ladies (could've been a bad day), everyone else was SUPER sweet! Our waitress, Hanan, was such a gem & a true delight! Her energy lightened up our evening. Steve was great too, and frequently check on us! The ambience is amazing, and allows for intimate conversation (i.e light music etc.). Generally a great place for socializing, and small bites!
