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.
Nous avons profité d'un repas 4 services avec 2 entrées au choix, un plat principal & un dessert le toit accompagné d'une bouteille de vin. Soupe à l'oignon délicieuse, pieuvre grillée exceptionnelle, morue délicieuse & burger extraordinaire. La serveuse Sarah a été extraordinaire.

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.
