Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lansdowne

Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

One of my favorite center city cafes. Great food, drinks and it's beautiful. We had fried shrimp, Brussel sprouts, french onion soup, chicken ceasar salad. We also had a couple christmassy drinks. Everything fun and fabulous I go at least 4 times a year. I always bring someone because it's great

Everything was great. Absolutely delicious! Great service. Great staff. I recommend!

As a last minute addition to this year’s holiday celebrations, I decided to treat my daughter to high tea at the Akwaaba Tea Salon! We both had been wanting to visit the Tea Salon and what better time than the present for an impromptu visit! I’m so glad I did! We had such a lovely time at high tea! We were warmly greeted by the hostess, and although we were a bit early, we were promptly seated at a quaint table. Our lovely server, Mekhia(? sorry if I spelled her name incorrectly)explained the different types of tea selections and let us know how the afternoon would unfold. Absolutely everything about our time at the Tea Salon was great! The tea was flavorful and soothing and the food from the scones to the petit sandwiches and desserts were delicious! And the entire staff we interacted with were lovely. At first I wasn’t sure what to think about prepaying, but when were finished and had spent a good time leisurely chatting(90 minutes is actually longer than I thought it was), I actually loved that the whole “check please” was eliminated. And although the gratuity was included in the prepayment, I left an extra small tip because we really did have a lovely time! Looking forward to visiting the Tea Salon again soon.

Service, food and drinks were exceptional. Only downside was the heaters were not working so it was a little cold outside.
