Rosélys is widely recognized for its elegant atmosphere and exceptional culinary offerings, ranging from its highly praised Sunday brunch buffet to carefully curated afternoon tea and sophisticated dinner menus. Many visitors appreciate the fresh, high-quality ingredients used in dishes like the avocado toast, duck, and various seafood options, often highlighting the impressive flavor profiles and beautiful presentation. While the dining experience is frequently described as upscale and memorable, guests particularly value the attentive and professional service that often elevates their visit. Although there are occasional mentions of varying service consistency or concerns regarding pricing and value, the restaurant remains a popular destination for both special occasions and refined everyday dining in the heart of the city.
We had a fantastic experience at Roselys while staying at the hotel. Given the terrible weather outside, having such a high-quality spot right in the building was a massive advantage.
The atmosphere is beautiful & very neat, with a great vibe that manages to feel upscale without being too loud. The staff were exceptionally friendly & went out of their way to be kind to our young son, providing coloring materials to keep him occupied. It was also great to see a dedicated kids' menu, which is always a thoughtful touch for families.
As for the main courses, the food was incredibly flavorful & well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes & very reasonable pricing for the quality provided. Overall, a very tasty & stress-free meal. Highly recommended if you're looking for great food & a welcoming atmosphere!
Food was awesome but service was ok could be better. I wasn't greeted & server didn't introduce himself so for a hotel restaurant like that it was quite mid.
I stayed at the hotel for a week & came to this restaurant frequently. The service was outstanding; the staff at the bar were extremely friendly & pleasant. The food was excellent. The pasta with shrimp in the foto... OMG! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Brunch du dimanche à volonté avec une nourriture vraiment très bonne, variée & de qualité. Sur ce point, rien à redire.
En revanche, le service est très inégal : il a fallu réclamer plusieurs fois pour obtenir de l'eau ou du café, ce qui casse un peu l'expérience.
La musique est trop forte & le style musical ne correspond pas au charme & à l'élégance du lieu.
À mon sens, les serveurs ne sont pas suffisamment formés pour un restaurant situé dans un hôtel de renom, ce qui est dommage au vu du potentiel de l'endroit.
Very Bad Afternoon Tea Experience - Don't waste your money there; go to the Ritz instead
Every year, on December 24, my family & I celebrate the holidays with an Afternoon Tea.
This year, I decided to try the Afternoon Tea at Roselys to change from our usual afternoon tea at Ritz when in Montreal (the quality of the service there is impeccable).
Hostess - Right away, upon our arrival we were (un)welcomed with a hostess that was sour faced. No smiling, no communication, the minimum.
Waiter - our waiter, who I believe is someone called'Garceau Arsena' (based on the receipt) - barely welcomed us; (I) he never offered drinks - I would not have minded getting some champagne for the occasion, (ii) he never explained the menu (he did give us the Tea Box to choose our teas), (iii) when we asked about the kids' afternoon tea menu as it is mentioned on their website (see the attached photo that mentions such menu) - he rudely brushed us off & told us they did not do kids menus; (iv) when we received our food, nobody explained what was being offered, (v) he never once checked with us whether the food was satisfactory or whether we wished for a hot water refill. The exchanges were kept at the bare minimum - here's the menu, here's the bill.
This is very surprising, Roselys is part of a 5 star hotel, Fairmount's Queen Elizabeth, & I believe it is not unreasonable to expect great service from such establishments.
Anyways, just don't waste your money there. There are other places in Montreal you can get better service.
Had dinner here during my stay at the Fairmont & it was good but not amazing. The Icelandic Cod was my favorite because the kohlrabi milk foam was very tasty & unique. But for $55, it seemed a bit overpriced. Their breakfast buffet, however, was much better because it included a made-to-order omelet station. I don't know how much it is normally, but it was included in my hotel stay.
We chose Rosélys to celebrate our son's 7th birthday with a special afternoon tea. It was close to our hotel & the website mentions a kids menu, which made it seem like a good fit.
The hostess was warm & welcoming & seated us in a comfortable booth. That was the highlight of the experience & the reason for the two stars.
Unfortunately, everything after that fell short. Our server took quite a while to come over with the tea sample, & by the time he did, we had already read the full menu & were ready to order. When we asked about the kids afternoon tea, his response was dismissive. He told us there was no kids option, just a smaller version of the adult one. (even if this was mentioned in their website)
When I asked for a tea recommendation for my son, the answer was simply,'Whatever you want, Madame.'
The service felt rushed & indifferent, which was disappointing, especially given that this was meant to be a birthday celebration. The tea arrived first, & the rest of the food came much later. Overall, the experience felt underwhelming & poorly paced.
We also noted in our reservation that it was our son's birthday, but there was no acknowledgment at all. We weren't expecting anything extravagant, just a bit of care or recognition.
This was meant to be a special moment for our family, & sadly, it didn't feel special at all.
Hotel restos are more expensive as expected than regular restaurants. We knew that going in. However the food was disappointing. Escargot dish was not good. A simple butter garlic dish would be good. Making this dish fancy was a fail. Tenderloin was tender & a safe choice. Pasta was plain. Server was running around too many tables which distract from any calm fine dining experience.
Had a light night snack of Mac & cheese , shrimp cocktail & Fritz's . Then dessert . Dan provided attentive service . It was expensive but to be expected for a hotel restaurant
A lovely hotel bar - perfect for post-stroll cocktail & cheese plate. Worth special mention is Rafael, a trilingual barman, with a thorough knowledge of the city as well as a great conversationalist & mixologist. He made us feel very welcome not just in the hotel but also in Montréal. His recommendations were spot on & we were very grateful!
