Rosélys delivers a refined dining experience with delicious, thoughtfully presented dishes, a standout brunch and a memorable afternoon tea, and attentive service on many visits in a polished, welcoming atmosphere; the overall impression blends high quality and attention to detail with occasional slower service, pacing gaps, and price levels that invite value considerations.
I've been here for afternoon tea twice, 3 years ago & again this weekend. The quality of the food & of the experience used to be much better. It's too loud to speak comfortably when busy. The food didn't taste fresh & there wasn't anything that stood out. Quite expensive for the level of quality received. The service was good, they're quite attentive. I wouldn't go back for tea however.
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!

I visited Rosélys at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth while traveling from Phoenix, & it exceeded my expectations! It was a busy day in Montreal, but my server, Jean, was incredibly accommodating. They quickly found me a spot & provided attentive, knowledgeable service throughout the meal. He really made the experience feel special.
The food was absolutely delicious, highlighting fresh, local ingredients with beautiful presentation. I enjoyed a full course (entrée & main), & it came to around 150 CAD, which felt very reasonable for the quality & refined setting.
The atmosphere is elegant & welcoming, with that perfect mix of French sophistication & Montreal charm. Thanks again to Jean & the team. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the city!
5 stars & highly recommend for a standout bistro meal.
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.
We had an incredible dining experience at Rosélys! We made our reservation same-day & the staff was still able to accommodate us seamlessly. From start to finish, everything felt like fine dining at its best; elegant, intentional, & flavorful.
We opted for the Carte Blanche 5-course experience with wine pairings, & it was absolutely worth it. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared & beautifully plated, truly Michelin star quality. The flavors were rich & refined, & the wine pairings elevated every bite.
Special thanks to our server, Jean, who was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, & made the evening feel extra special. The staff also surprised us with a sweet honeymoon dessert plate, which meant a lot.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic or celebratory dinner in the city!
We visited for the afternoon tea. The tea was really good. A very present flavour green tea. I do recommend. Food-wise, it was far from acceptable experience. The salty options, two were really good. The fois gras & the smoked salmon. Others were inexpressible. The banana cake seemed like artificial, we can have better options from Starbucks. The sweaty options, again two were ok-good. Nothing outstanding. The chocolate pistachio & a small peach-ish option. Location is fantastic, the center of downtown. However, the inside felt extremely empty as a tea room. It seemed like a small conference support room. Considering price, experience & quality, I do not recommend the afternoon tea. It's too expensive for what is proposed.

My wife & I went to brunch on October 1st to celebrate our 19th wedding anniverary. We always enjoy our visits as we were married in the hotel in October 2004. Though it has received a huge makeover since then, including the name (formely Le Montréalais) the location generally lives up to the standards we have been used to for many years. This was the first time we were able to celebrate since the pandemic, so we were pleased we finally could.
There were just a few small issues that I would like to bring up. The lamb roast was very tasty, however, I found that using tongs to tear the flesh off the roast to be a bit strange, also wasn't very generous with the portioning. The roast beef loin was tasty but was very tough to eat, I admit it was very rare, but perhaps offer steak knives as an option. The waitress we had wasn't super attentive, we needed to request coffee twice before she brought some over. We neede to request tea twice before she brought some over. We needed to request grapefruit juice twice before she brought some over. The last point is that at the table we were seated at had a splash of something on the windows, not sure what it was but it looks like it had been there at least a few days, looked like it could have been egg yolks. Despite these few things we will continue to celebrate our anniversary here in the future. I bring up these points as a reminder not to let the level of service or quality slip to honour the legacy of the late Daniel Fornara a consumate professional to whom service & quality were a point of pride.
