Tea At The Empress - Victoria

Excellent cuts, not over spiced to hide everything, tomahawk pork chops were tender and beautiful taste! Cedar wrapped salmon was moist and well paired with asparagus and green. Honey butter and bread was a great starter! Ready with homemade ice cream and sorbet and a berry trifle! Both were very creamy and delicious, not over sweet!

Victoria is full of amazing cocktail lounges, and here is one of the newest spots to circle and put on your list! Q at The Empress is a cocktail lounge and has a full menu for dining. Yesterday our group of 6 enjoyed cocktails at Q Lounge. The staff was amazing and accommodated us. The room reminds me of the old Bengal Lounge at The Empress. Check out the ceiling so elegant and classic. I can't wait to return!!!

Empress hotel is one of my favourite places in town, like any other high end places. The service is fairly fast. The staff were so friendly, from phone reservation to the moment we left. It is a pretty standard thing you expect in places of this kind, and Empress made our night a happy one. The food quality is very good. The charcoal popcorn was a new flavour we liked. The drinks were professionally prepared, as expected. The stake was our favourite meal. The fish was pretty good, too. The desserts were so delicious. They first served us a different dessert than what we ordered, which they fixed as soon as they found out, ended up being served two delicious desserts.

The place is so nice and cozy. The Q served delectable dishes. The seafood pasta and the peace country lamb were excellent. I raved Oscar, thank you for the wonderful service. I appreciated the chef who made our special request fusion cake (chocolate hazelnut tart with berry triple, Okanagan Cherry Creme Brulee, and ice cream ice cream . I highly recommend Q at the Empress!

First time visit at the Fairmont Empress. Went in for a lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Kind of disappointed with the food offering, but that is compensated with the ambience and the live music. Their Roasted tomato soup was really great. And the Pizza dough they use is very healthy and tasty. You have to have their rich chocolate cake if you are ever eating here, it was amazing.
