Afternoon Tea At Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

3.5 stars. We had a reservation on OpenTable for 12:45 and had requested a table on the window as you really pay for the view. Upon arrival we were told that our table was occupied and on an elevated level an alternative table was offered on the back of the restaurant so that you could not even see the windows. We agreed to wait and were asked to review again in 20 minutes. We did not sit until 1:55 (1 hour and 10 minutes after our reservation), which is absolutely ridiculous as there should be some implemented time limit for tables on the window. As far as the actual tea experience, the food was wonderful! The fingers sandwiches were small, but very good. We loved the lobster with caviar and caviar. They also had a cute tea timer to prevent you from overstepping your tea and came to refill hot water in the perfect time. The dessert was buffet style and had a wide selection of sweets that you want to return as often as you like. And of course, the view of the lake was beautiful and something was waiting for our incredibly long.

The view of Lake Louise is unbeatable. We expected to wait a long time, but we sat right away. A wide selection of dishes and cheap prices surprisingly, the food was delicious and tasteful. A must see because of the view, again unbeatable if you? Even if you cannot stay in Fairmont because of the price, you will receive the afternoon tea. One in a life experience.

Fantastic afternoon tea for a birthday experience. The food was surprisingly filled, I wasn't sure how it was my first afternoon tea. Of course you pay for the view, but it is worth it!

Ok food, great service and magnificent views. Limited selection of products, but they were well cooked, plated and presented. I had the chicken burger and my friend had an angus that was easy on the dry side and could have been lawful. The mushrooms pasta and desserts were amazing, especially the caramel sun.

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 my opinion, since they want to focus on their best items. We devoured all the food we ordered and we are going back for dinner as well. The drinks were very good. Our server suggested the local beer and the caramel old fashioned. They were both amazing. Nothing beats the view from the restaurant of lake Louise and the mountains. It is a perfect spot for a date, for a family visit or with friends. Finally, our server, Nicholas K was absolutely the best. He asked us for the flavours we enjoyed in our food and drinks and his suggestions were spot on. He even joined us in the banter of teasing one of our friends and that was excellent because he had the emotional intelligence to understand our relationship with each other. You definitely must visit this restaurant if you are visiting/staying in this hotel. If I were you, I would ask for a table served by Nicholas K since he made our experience even better.
