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.
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.

69 $ pour un steak de 4 onces: portion minuscule, cuisson ratée deux fois. 3 frites: une blague.
Demandé saignant, reçu bien cuit, puis remplacé par un morceau encore plus petit… & encore plus cuit!
Le service est excellent & fait ce qu'il peut, mais la cuisine est inégale & bénéficierait d'une meilleure supervision de leur chef exécutif
Mon go to pour les petits déjeuner lors de mes séjours au Fairmont; le toast à l'avocat est juste sublime…. Mais je suis toujours sous le choc du café filtre vraiment pas bon pas inclus avec le repas à 5$ …
The food was delicious. Staff was busy preparing for lunch, we had arrived close to the end of the breakfast time, so service was a bit slow. However, it was still polite.

I had the worse experiece of a dining service in this restaurant. The reception forgot about jotting down our names just after 2 minutes & asked if we have reservstion for second time! &… the waiter was the worse one I have ever seen!! Extremely rude! He ignored us for 20 min & did not bring water! When we wanted to place our order, he pretend that he could not hear what we were saying & make a strange face like he do a favor to take our order! Also the night was a birthday night for one of us & after we had our birthday dessert, in the middle of singing happy birthday, he threw bills on the table!!! Not jocking! Threw them! Worse experience ever! + the food is over priced!

I called to book a reservation a few weeks in advance, & informed them of my peanut allergy. I was assured at multiple points that it would not be an issue for their Carte Blanche tasting menu. I also told my server, Olivier, about my allergy, & he seemed to understand & assured me there would be no nuts. However, our third course had obvious peanuts sprinkled right on top of the food, & he only noticed when my wife asked him about it. We could see him argue with the chef when it was sent back. He explained that the tasting menu *last week* was nut-free, when I booked this. To me, that tells me that he never actually spoke with the kitchen to inform them of my allergy.
The kitchen came up with a delicious substitute in short order, & I was pleased with it, however I find it unacceptable that a dish with visible severe allergens was ever put in front of me.
In addition to this, we had to wait over 20 minutes from me asking for my bill to actually receiving it. The restaurant was not overly busy; I could see my server goofing around with other waiters a few tables away while I waited, after having asked him for the bill. I took it as a major sign of disrespect for my own time, especially when the bill came out to $300 for a meal for two.
The food I could eat was quite good. While I did still tip reasonably, I cannot recommend this place to anyone who has severe food allergies.

Well... we dine out often & at many levels of sophistication & also of ease & fun! We arrived for my birthday celebration. I had looked through AI & the restaurant was highly recommended. We we excited for our experience. It started out nicely, waited spoke to us, shared his favorites, however it took a turn when he took my husbands order only & I was calling to him my appetizer order as he was walking away. All guests orders should be taken before the waiter leaves. Later moving forward some of the food came out, he told me the veggie dish I ordered was a beef dish. He then later returned with the veggies & then later 10 mins he came back with the cold dish he had taken & served it to my husband. I understand if the restaurant is busy but it was slow on a Tuesday evening. Anyways we would have ordered coffees etc but we sat for 20 mins with no attention. They brought out my husband's dessert from his prix fix menu & no birthday celebration was brought out. Sooooo disappointing after we specifically called & shared we were coming in to celebrate. The food was lovely but the service was poor. If you were treated correctly I would recommend this restaurant.
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!
