We had a good time. This is the second time we have been here. We both had the beef tenderloin with oka root veg and whipped potatoes with a great bottle of wine. Service was alittle slow, took about 25 mins to order. Our food waa great, however my steak look like it was smaller than a hockey puck, but delicious. I preordered choc dipped strawberries when I made the reservations. The waitress tried to get me to order desert, but I asked about my preorder and she was going to check on it ... felt like she pushed to buy a dessert then get stawberries to increase bill. The only HUGE downfall of this place it was 17.00 dollars to park when I was told its validated ... by two employees and I went...
Once a year in the summer, I pay Wilfrid's a visit for breakfast. I love visiting the Fairmont Chateau Laurier on occasion as it has a rich and storied history as being the place for both world leaders and the rich and famous to stay while in Ottawa.<br/ <br/ We don't have any notable pancake houses here so I decided to make Wilfrid's my personal pancake house. $15 is a reasonable price and the dish is beautifully plated. You get real maple syrup, fresh bananas and whipped cream with them and it's filling. The price for the pancakes is cheaper here than it is in Toronto.<br/ <br/ I plan another visit this year for breakfast but I also plan to make a second visit to try lunch. Dinner is way t...
Exquisite service, great food and wines. Consistently has the best service in the city. Knowledgable, friendly, and very polished.Fine menu which changes frequently. Can make a very good meal from soup (always superb) and an appetizer or two. Lots of local ingredients. Very good wine list with an emphasis on Canadian wines. Remarkable lunch buffet. It's a treat to dine in this exquisite heritage building. The vista from Wilfrid's windows the East Block, the Peace Tower, Confederation Square and the Langevin Block is great. The view from the summer terrace is one of the best kept secrets in Ottawa wow!Why more Ottawa natives don't patronize Wilfrid's is a mystery to me. Yes, the prices are in...
The food was average. My friend ordered a salad while I had a club sandwich with a side salad. Despite there being two waiters and only about six tables occupied, the service was surprisingly poor. I had to ask the waiter for water around five times before finally receiving it, even though there was a jug of water sitting right on the window ledge. Additionally, the waiter brought our bill far too early. We were hoping for a leisurely girls' lunch filled with conversation and wine, but he never inquired if we wanted coffee, tea, or another glass of wine; instead, he abruptly handed us the bill as if to say, "It’s two o'clock; time to go." While it’s a nice place to sit and chat, I don't... Book a table now
I had brunch on a Sunday, and while the price is a bit on the higher side—which makes me feel they should include a little extra perk like some bubbly—it was still a lovely experience. The omelette station stands out for its talented chef, and the jam and roast beef were excellent, as was the salmon. Some of the prepared dishes were just mediocre, and a few items cooled down quickly, but overall, the food was delicious and the location is fantastic.
Okay so service is awful I agree. We waited around forever for any service coffee/ tea, to place order, and get our food. However i have been here twice and when in ottawa will go back again. The Ottawa valley benedict is the best eggs benedict i have ever had and i will wait patiently for it every time no matter how much the service sucks.
We had a nice time at the buffet; the food was delicious and there was a great variety. The service was good, but I was not pleased with how we felt rushed at the end of our breakfast because brunch was about to start. I expected better from a restaurant of this caliber.
Trying to describe the buffet in terms that will do it justice is like trying to carry water in a colander. We’ve all been to buffets and if you have been following this blog for a while, you will know that I am not generally a fan. It takes a lot of skil Book a table now
