Reviews for Afternoon Tea at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in Lake Louise, AB

3.5 stars. We had a reservation on OpenTable for 12:45pm and had requested a table by the window as you're really paying for the... view. Upon arrival we were told our table was occupied and were offered an alternate table at the very back of the restaurant ona raised level so you couldn't even see the windows. We agreed to wait and were asked to check in again in 20 minutes. Weweren't seated until 1:55pm (1 hour and 10 mins after our reservation) which is absolutely ridiculous as there should be someimplemented time limit for tables by the window. As far as the actual tea experience, the food was wonderful! The fingersandwiches were small but very good quality. We loved the lobster with caviar and the prawn with caviar. They also had a cutetea timer to prevent you from oversteeping your tea and came around to refill hot water at the perfect time. The dessert wasbuffet style and had a great selection of sweets which you could return to as many times as you like. And of course, the view ofthe lake was beautiful and somewhat made up for our incredibly long wait. Read more

The views of Lake Louise are unbeatable. We went in expecting to wait a long time but we actually got seated right away. A large... selection of food and reasonable prices surprisingly, food was delicious and flavourful. A must see due to the view, againunbeatable when you?re having some afternoon tea. Even if you can?t stay at the Fairmont due to the price, get the afternoontea. A one in a lifetime experience. Read more

Fantastic afternoon tea for a birthday experience. The food was surprisingly filling, I wasn?t sure as this was my first... afternoon tea. Clearly you pay for the view but it?s worth it! Read more

Ok food, great service and gorgeous view. Limited selection of items but they were well cooked, plated and presented. I had the... chicken burger and my friend had an Angus which was slightly on the dry side and could have been juicier. The mushroom pasta anddesserts were amazing especially the caramel sundae.

YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE IF YOU COME TO FAIRMONT CHATEAU! One of the best places for a meal in Banff National Park and all-round it... is a 10/10. The food was flavourful and well-cooked. The lunch menu may seem slightly limited but that is a good sign in myopinion, since they want to focus on their best items. We devoured all the food we ordered and we are going back for dinner aswell. The drinks were very good. Our server suggested the local beer and the caramel old fashioned. They were bothamazing. Nothing beats the view from the restaurant of lake Louise and the mountains. It is a perfect spot for a date, for afamily visit or with friends. Finally, our server, Nicholas K was absolutely the best. He asked us for the flavours we enjoyedin our food and drinks and his suggestions were spot on. He even joined us in the banter of teasing one of our friends and thatwas excellent because he had the emotional intelligence to understand our relationship with each other. You definitely mustvisit this restaurant if you are visiting/staying in this hotel. If I were you, I would ask for a table served by Nicholas Ksince he made our experience even better. Read more

Wonderful service and excellent dining experience. From the table setting to the room setting this afternoon tea is worth it. We... made a reservation easily online and enjoyed it immensely. Our server was professional and friendly. The food was surprisinglyfilling. Each item was unique and delicious. The chef arrive to each table to explain each item. The choice of tea is top notchand I love how the tea menu presents a sample of the tea with the description. And of course the view is iconic. Read more

Of all the Fairmont Afternoon Teas I've experienced, this was by far the most enjoyable. Everything from the service, to the... food, to the setting was above and beyond. We were lucky enough to visit during a shoulder season; right inbetween the winterrush and the summer tourist season. That meant the hotel and all restaurants weren't too crowded, which was perfectly fine withus. This did mean that our reservation was moved from the Restaurant & Bar to the Lakeview Lounge, but I feel this onlyheightened our experience. The Lounge had a steady stream of patrons, but the noise level never rose above normal conversationlevel. I was so glad we were sat next to one of the huge windows for a stunning view of the frozen lake and snowy mountains! Thetea selection was quite wide, as with other Fairmont Hotels, so it was hard to make a choice. Our server Brooke made some greatrecommendations that would compliment our tea time fare. The food itself was interesting and freshly made. There were some newflavor combinations I'd never had before; I love that the menu changes with the seasons. We both loved the scones, still warmfrom the oven! More than anything, we simply loved interacting with the incredible staff who cared deeply about our experience.Brooke was so sweet, so kind, and pleasantly attentive. The host at podium greeted us by name and asked about our previousexperience; I felt appreciated and well cared for. I could not have asked for a better Afternoon Tea experience and am gratefulfor all the staff at the Chateau who made this possible. Read more
