Fairview Bar & Restaurant

Waitress was wonderful and attentive Food was great. Did the 3 course meal option. Great option

We felt it was a little overpriced and limited choices on menue. Service was good, especially for a table of 10.

Our server Jose was so informative about not only the menu but the hotel and gave us some really great tips on when we should come back and visit!

Very very good food and service. Pretty pricey but would definitely go again.

Valentines

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. However even though we had a reservation we were seated at a table in the bar area rather than the main seating area. It was actually very nice to be away from the crowd in the restaurant. We had a nice view and the service and food were great. Just a little weird that we were seated outside the main area.

Amazing food, excellent service!

For the prices they charge, the food needs to be much better. The bison rib steak was fatty, tough and not cooked to order.

Food was mediocre for price— post hotel restaurant was similar price point and significantly better. Service was poor.

New Years lunch

Food, service and view were all sensational. Highly recommend. One of the biggest highlights of our trip

Gorgeous bar area. Best meal we had in Lake Louise.

Ordered steak frites and chicken pasta. Steak was bland, tough, and not even on par with the run-of-the-mill, but still good quality steaks at The Keg. Should have gone for the burger. Pasta was soupy. Quality for such a nice setting was disappointing. Tried to order a beer. Only four on tap, and they were out of my selection. Maybe afternoon tea is more of their focus.

The tea was perfect on a snowy day with a sublime view of lake louise

Overall the service was good, but the Deepwater Sea Bass on top of the beet risotto needs to be taken off the menu. It was nowhere near what I would expect from a top notch restaurant. I definitely would not recommend this dish.

A little overpriced. Limited menu.

Excellent food and great tea selection. We got a table near the window and really enjoyed the view, great experience!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress Penelope was really great and made this a wonderful experience. We absolutely recommend anyone to dine there.

My wife and I had a lovely dinner at Fairview. I reserved online via OpenTable and requested for a table with a view. When we arrived, I was very happy to see that the restaurant was able to set aside a window seat for us with a great view of Lake Louise! The service and the food were great. It was a pricier meal, but I think the price is to be expected at a Fairmont Chateau location. With that said, it was not a bad priceconsidering the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the service. They also had a deal where you could choose any starter, main, and dessert for $89. My wife and I ended up ordering that deal and adding on another main so that we were able to share the starter and dessert. All in all, great experience and would definitely consider going back when we visit Lake Louise again.

A FANTASTIC experience all around. A beautiful space with an even more amazing view of Lake Louise and majestic mountains.
I will return some day. The newly remodeled bar is a treat as well.

The food was not good at all. I had salmon and my husband had sea bass. Neither meal was good. I only ate half of mine. It was very expensive, which is fine if the meal was good. At any price, the meal was still bad. They did comp mine, which I did not ask for, so that helped a little.

Wonderful place. Ambiance was excellent. The view is one that you will not ever get anywhere else. Staff was professional, but friendly. They had the right mixture of helpful, friendly, but not over-attentive. The food was wonderful, and well worth the trip!

Food was excellent, staff was courteous and attentive, and the view of Lake Louise and Glacier behind was spectacular.

Perfect view coupled with wonderful food and service. Love it and thanks.

We had a lovely time at Fairview. Our server was very polite and helpful, and our window view spectacular. We were there celebrating 15 years since our Lake Louise honeymoon, so were taking lots of selfies. Seeing this, our server delighted us by offering to take our photo for us. Despite being busy, she went to the trouble of finding the best angle and best way to help us get a great shot. She left us with a genuine and kind parting wish to enjoy our celebration at Lake Louise. The only reason some of the ratings given for our visit are not quite outstanding is that we went on a walk around Lake Louise afterwards, and would have preferred our lunch/tea-time to be a little more substantial than high tea food. That aside, we had a very enjoyable experience which we will remember for years to come, and we would like to again express our warm thanks to our server (sincere apologies for being unable to remember her name).

I have afternoon tea on 19Sep19. The price is high but it is valuable. The restaurant is calm, heritage and elegant. The food is good especially desert buffet. I arranged to site near a window with Lake Louis view. The waitress provided a very good service and carried a good smile all time.

Good view for Lake Louise & relaxing for dinner. Food is good too.

Great location and atmosphere. Food was below average.

Could not fault the hotel in any way ,outstanding service

This was a memorable experience on a once in a lifetime trip to the Canadian Rockies. We had a lovely table in the window overlooking beautiful Lake Louise. The service was excellent from all three members of staff we came into contact with. The afternoon tea was very good with a help yourself selection of cakes to finish.

I was lucky enough to have a high tea at the Fairview Bar & Restaurant two times this year. It is a delightful experience!

I had afternoon tea and requested a window table - which was granted. The finger sandwiches were tasty and the service was excellent. It's a pricey place but expected as associated with a Fairmont property. Of course, the reason everyone goes here - the view - was spectacular...!

Beautiful resort with stellar views of lake Louise. The food itself is good specially macaroons on afternoon tea dessert buffet are perfect!

The view of the lake is nice but the restaurant's ambiance looks a little old, could use a touch of remodel or change of furnitures, linens and serving utensils. It didn't feel like I am in a special room, it looks like an ordinary place to eat.

Beautiful view pleasant ambiance. Good lunch salads

If you're looking for the grand hotel type of dining experience, this is your place. The views are far better than at some other famed park restaurants, such as the Ahwanee in Yosemite. We were quite disappointed in our waiter. We sat for over ten minutes with absolutely no beverage, not even water, and this is a dry climate through which we had been walking. Overall our service was very slow--we saw other tables receiving better and faster service. The food is good, but at that price I was amazed there was no offer to replenish the tea sandwiches and to be charged for a second pot of tea (has no one from the Fairmont ever been to Harrods or Fortnam and Mason for tea?). The dessert buffet is an amazing addition to tea. The restaurant was very accommodating to my shellfish allergy.

What a beautiful experience to have High Tea at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for our
40th Anniversary! We had a table beside the window overlooking Lake Louise and the view
was stunning! The waiter was professional and made our time wonderful! The food was delicious, and the tea fantastic. Thank you for making this milestone so special!

We had a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary. High tea with a beautiful view was perfect for our special occasion.

Fabulous experience. The afternoon tea is excellent.

Our family’s experience was wonderful. We were treated so well by the entire staff. The restaurant manager gave us a wonderful table and our waiter “Alex” was wonderful and patient as me look over the menu and took our orders.

The orders were done perfectly to our specifications and the taste was wonderful. We fully enjoyed ourselves and would recommend the restaurant and staff.

We left with smiles and on our faces and a great memory was made.

You will not be disappointed.
