Wilfrid's - Ottawa

Brunch on a Sunday. Sure price is a bit high, which to me means they should add some kind of little perk like why not a bit of bubbly? But otherwise great. Omelette station is famous because of the superior skill of the maker. Jam and roast beef great as is the salmon. Some prepared meals are mediocre and some dishes get cool quickly but really the food is great and the location superb.

Lunch with Friend Oct 29 2015  Food was Ok Friend Had Salad I had a Club Sandwich with Salad ,Despite the fact there was 2 waiters and only about 6 tables occupied The service was shockingly poor!  I asked the waiter about 5 times for water and eventually got some despite the jug of water being nearby on A window ledge The waiter also brought our bill way too early we were there for a girls long lunch chat and some wine He never asked if we wanted coffee tea or another glass of wine just brought the bill as if Its two o'clock go home now. Nice place to sit and chat not worth the price or the Parking as the Service is Poor and the food just Ok

We enjoyed our buffet, food was good, great selection. Service was good but I did not appreciate basically being rushed through the end of our breakfast because brunch was starting. I expected better from a place like this.

Once a year in the summer, I pay Wilfrid's a visit for breakfast. I love visiting the Fairmont Chateau Laurier on occasion as it has a rich and storied history as being the place for both world leaders and the rich and famous to stay while in Ottawa.<br/ <br/ We don't have any notable pancake houses here so I decided to make Wilfrid's my personal pancake house. $15 is a reasonable price and the dish is beautifully plated. You get real maple syrup, fresh bananas and whipped cream with them and it's filling. The price for the pancakes is cheaper here than it is in Toronto.<br/ <br/ I plan another visit this year for breakfast but I also plan to make a second visit to try lunch. Dinner is way too much and unnecessary in my case as a local.<br/ <br/ Good service the few times I've gone and very clean, though you would expect a more glamorous looking place in the Grand Old Hotel. Still, a worthy visit on a nice summer day.

We had a good time. This is the second time we have been here. We both had the beef tenderloin with oka root veg and whipped potatoes with a great bottle of wine. Service was alittle slow, took about 25 mins to order. Our food waa great, however my steak look like it was smaller than a hockey puck, but delicious. I preordered choc dipped strawberries when I made the reservations. The waitress tried to get me to order desert, but I asked about my preorder and she was going to check on it ... felt like she pushed to buy a dessert then get stawberries to increase bill. The only HUGE downfall of this place it was 17.00 dollars to park when I was told its validated ... by two employees and I went to have it done and was informed they do not ... I would have parked somewhere else ..for two people its 220 dollars with 17 dollars parking ... also went to Zoe's lounge for some more wine 2 glasses 40 bucks ... I just wish it was free parking as some of their packages for staying the night include it for a cheaper price than dinner.
