About the restaurant

Quelque Chose offers an afternoon tea service that draws on more than a century of English tradition while adding a French-inspired touch that brings the delicate charm of Europe to Westboro Village. In addition to the classic fare of scones, miniature desserts, and bite-sized sandwiches, our towers feature fresh-baked croissants, fine Parisian tea, and our signature macarons. As well as tea, our guests can enjoy steamy coffee drinks, decadent hot chocolate, and sparkling glasses of Prosecco and mimosas.

The afternoon tea still serves its role as a comforting snack and an elegant event for marking occasions, from birthdays and baby showers to just catching up with friends. With a wide selection of food and beverage, there is something for everyone at afternoon tea - just as the Duchess intended.

We attended Crust and Crate for Father’s Day dinner. Service was quick and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Dinner and apps were excellent. We will be back again. I would hope that you might be able to open a Crust and Crate in Barrhaven. Keep us the great work😀😀

Good food, price-quality value is worth going to the restaurant. Service is fine but could demonstrate better care to the customers.

About the restaurant

A restaurant is a place where food and drinks are served to customers. Restaurants were originally operated on the side of roads so travelers could stop to rest and recharge. Today, restaurants are almost everywhere: on quiet streets and busy roads, in hotels, airports, bus and train stations, parks, office buildings, and shopping malls. Restaurants make up the largest segment of the food service industry. Establishments that serve food to people outside their homes are also part of the industry, including schools, hospitals, and factories.

Love Lonestar and this location but many issues. My 10$ Sizzle first time coupon wasn't there never used it. I often get cheese even when asking for none. This time was not part of ingredients and was still on and I asked no onions but was on. The waitress didn't come to serve us and when we asked for more chips she seemed annoyed said yes and never gave us some. Same asked different waitresses twice for ketchup didn't get it. This being said the actual bartender took our order and came to check on us a few times even though not the waiter and that helped. He was super friendly and helpful and courteous and he made sure we got our refills and chip refills. But the waitress assigned to us and other waitresses didn't do their job and didn't ask when dropping the food if we had all we needed. Was bizarre. But the bartender super good. Usually it's really good service. Don't know what happened and don't know why our 10$ coupon sizzle wasn't in the system although in emails. For the dairy stuff both me and my son get extremely sick so if we say no cheese or if it's not in ingredients please make sure not to out it on this happens at least 3/4 of the time. Oh and our gluten free fries didn't have the salt and pepper which is bizarre. On a very positive note the ribs were amazing 😍😍😍 like some of the best ribs eaten in our lives never thought I would have ordered these but my son shared and wow!!!!
