    Server didn’t fill the champagne glass all the way up, and spilled on the glass and table while pouring and didn’t clean it up. It took over 30m for the tower to come out (I was there for afternoon tea), and over 50m for the tea to come out, and my water glass wasn’t refilled until 1hr of me sitting there. After I was done, it took 20m to get my check since not a single server was around. The bread was stale, but the scones and desserts were delicious. I was so excited for this experience and was let down. I would not book it again, especially for that price.

    Really lovely afternoon tea service. Included a tasty selection of pastries, scones, and sandwiches, and a glass of sparkling wine. Gorgeous view of the lake.

    Afternoon tea at the Fairmont Lake Louise is a must on the bucket list. Stunning views of Lake Louise, with great service and food. The best way to enjoy an afternoon in the national park.

    IT was a wonderful experience, the service was impeccable! Wonderful little savory sandwiches are followed by scones with clotted cream, raspberry, and an out of this world lemon spread! It’s all culminated with some tasty little sweet treats at the end. The view is second to none, I highly recommend!

    We had the best time and it was 100% due to our server. Chin made it extra special and treated us great. We loved him and will definitely come back just to see him. He explained the process for the tea in a way that elevated the dining experience and was engaging for the adults and also for the kids. Would highly recommend

    Not the top quality afternoon tea expected at a Fairmont establishment. Finger sandwiches were obviously nit freshly made and the filling was barely there at all. Pastries looked lovely but they were mostly cream. And after this meal all members of party had upset stomachs. Not a great experience at all. When you’re paying the prices charged here you expect absolutely top shelf food.
