    This was my second time at Zoe's Fairmont Chateau Laurier and it was just as fantastic as the first time. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. The food was excellent and well prepared. I was accompanied by two other ladies and they also loved the experience of going to Zoe's. I plan to go again in the spring as the ambiance and the people are friendly and also a nice way to spend an afternoon with family and friends.

    Another successful date night at the Albion Rooms! We were excited to come back to try this weeks features and truly appreciate the new chefs creativity and skills! The Gochujang chicken wings were a standout dish. The texture was on point—crispy skin with juicy meat inside. Nicely glazed with gorgeous presentation. Nothing makes me happier than being served a dish that is almost to beautiful to eat. The 1871 burger had all the right elements. The patty was thick, smoky and juicy. Toppings were plentiful and the bun was soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together. It managed to be a hearty and satisfying meal while still providing gourmet taste. A big thanks to Warren, the Smoked Pineapple Express was next level. The perfect balance of smokiness, sweet and tart flavours. Loved the pinapple jerky, every detail of this cocktail was well thought out and executed with precision. Our server Nik was warm yet professional and ensured we had a memorable experience. It is obvious the staff here take pride in what they do. I can hardly wait until our next visit!
