10 Best Lounges in Canada

Everything with the room and stay was excellent. Until the morning when we we're met with racist service and discrimination from Wayne the host at the brunch restaurant. We went down 3 of us to have brunch. We were on the walkway ramp and were there waiting to be places and a Asian couple with 2 children came up the stairs. Instead of helping the next customer which would have been us. Wayne decided to assist the asian family. Which I was like it is what it is. He sat them then returned to seat us. Wayne Said I will have to check with the kitchen and went away for several minutes and than came back and said the kitchen is overwhelmed and we are going to have to wait about 15 min to seat you. I said seriously he said yes. We backed up on to the ramp and discussed the situation and if we had time to wait. We'll as we we're discussing this another family came up the stairs and Wayne took them to be seated and took them to the out side part. This did make me very upset I went to the desk to check out and asked to speak with a manager. The hotel manager came out and asked me to speak with the restaurant manager. I took her up to Wayne and explained how I felt this was discrimination and she said no it wasn't it was.just a mistake??? A mistake??? I tell you 15 min wait I sit the next family and the family before you directly??? How is this a mistake? As the more frustrated I got she started to just laugh at me and say this is not discrimination it was just a mistake. I explained how I would be sure to leave a review and let everyone know about my experience and she laughed so as she did this I decided to take her picture and that of Wayne she said I can't do that and snatched my phone out of my hand I snatched it back and said excuse her. She than continued to be nothing but rude. This establishment was so great until this experience and they should not be allowed to work in hospitality and what a poor example of leadership and management from your restaurant staff. Just thought you should know about this experience and how unfortunate it was.

Beautiful meal and drinks afterwards. The food was fantastic, from starters to mains! We found out from chatting to a Canadian couple, the wonderful Dan and Elaine, who had been visiting Tofino for years that this place had moved as original location burnt down last year, so worth noting photos are old. It looks so good now! Brilliant atmosphere, staff and food. Highly recommended. We were there from 5-10!

Great place for party and family gathering as well. The food was not the best but it was good

We will definitely go back there.

The only challenge was that the night was started after 10 pm lol

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The fried fish is delicious and the service is fantastic. The owner is very kind and the food comes out fast. They also had fun YouTube videos (like Americas got talent) playing to entertain everyone.

I believe i would be a hard critic considering i am middle eastern.
We went to enjoy a good hookah ( which it kinda was but not even close to what Calgary for example has). I ordered a greek salad which turned out to be Fatoush topped with fetta cheese instead of bread. I didnt like that. I mean you cant have sumac on a Greek salad! I also ordered garlic potatoes which also weren’t your usual garlic potatoes. Rather wedges withe the white toum sauce and also sumac! For authenticity, I wouldn’t really recommend. But then again maybe they want their own take on things.
We also ordered this shawarma poutine that my husband LOVED.
ME food :2/10
Western food:9/10
Shisha: 7/10 ( though we ordered the normal maybe the fancy ones would be comparable to what we’ve tried before)

The servers were Amazing and great and the orders came relatively fast. The place started picking up after 8:30 PM and its pretty spacious. The atmosphere was also good

This place is amazing,food and drinks especially lemon mint is delicious.I love the "love shisha".
Elyan showed us the best customer service ever.
Definitely I will come back again and again.

Very nice place and amazing food.
Definitely worth a visit.

Food: Great food, all disher were fantastic. A bit more on the fancy side in terms of dish selection and design. The ingredients were fresh and all dishes very tasty. Meat and fish were fantastic.

Service: Very friendly and professional service.

Ambiance: Very nice and fancy interior design. Directly at the sea including a nice terrace.

Price: Fancy restaurant and dishes are reflected in the price as well. But the food quality makes it worth it.

Dish recommendation: The Jack Flats Beef Brisket is fantastic. The seared salmon with risotto was very good as well.

Other: There is free parking in front of the restaurant.

Conclusion: Fantastic restaurant definitely worth a visit.

Our room was small. Having said that, the decor was beautiful and the designer made great use of space. Gorgeous washroom. I loved the shower. We had a small window in the room, reminding you it's an old building that has been renovated. Nice details in supplies - lush towels, nice selection in mini bar, red wine & wine glasses and wine opener awaits. Nespresso machine and cups ready to go. Bottled water. Individual Shampoos & hand cream. The hotel itself is charming. It is valet parking only. I believe that was $47/night. The location is special - perfect. The hotel offers a rooftop terrace for drinks and meals. It's also connected to a restaurant on the main floor. There is a shop that offers casual wear and some art. We didn't have time to take advantage of the spa facilities. Service was excellent. They do turn over the bed in the evenings. They replenish your room in late afternoon. Everything felt new and very clean. We loved it and would definitely return. Enjoy your stay! 🍷

Booked a private room, great experience and service. Two golfers can get through 18 in 2hrs. I’ll definitely go back

Very elegant boutique hotel in the heart of the Old Port. The interior is beautiful, the rooms are clean and the service is very efficient. Drinks on the rooftop terrace are great with nice views of the waterfront. Keep in mind that due to its location it is very busy, crowded on the street level and looking for parking is pointless. They offer on-site valet parking which is worth it just to avoid the headache of old port traffic. Obviously everything you could want is a few steps away and there are dining and cafe establishments at the ground level (Maggy Oak's and cafe Olympic).

During the daylight hours, the landscape offers a pleasing and enjoyable view, adding an extra dimension to the dining experience. However, it's the transformation that occurs as night falls that truly brings out the charm of the patio area. The evening ambiance takes center stage, creating an inviting atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding and enjoying a meal.

As for the culinary offerings, we had the opportunity to sample both the beer selection and two dishes from the menu. While they were undoubtedly good, showcasing a commendable level of quality, they didn't quite manage to achieve the status of excellence that we were hoping for. The beer delivered a refreshing taste, and the dishes were skillfully prepared, but there was a certain element that prevented them from truly standing out.

In conclusion, the establishment offers a dual appeal with its scenic daylight views and alluring evening patio atmosphere. The beer and dishes provided a satisfactory dining experience, although they didn't quite reach the pinnacle of excellence that we had anticipated.

Best club in city, compared to the other one in Ottawa I definitely love the vibe & energy here & everyone is extremely respectful.

I just want to give a special thanks to Wallid for making sure my people wear straight & always making sure my table was clean as well.

I can’t wait for tonight, because it’s gonna be a movie & I’m definitely telling everyone about this spot.

Can’t forget Rio & Menna was extremely helpful throughout the whole night

I came here for brunch today and we order the chicken burger and the chicken Benny. The food was delicious. The chicken Benny combines sweet and spicy flavors which was very tasty. The service was quick and the outdoor patio was lovely. The restaurant is close to water and overlooks parts of downtown Victoria. I will definitely come back here again.

Went for dinner… the atmosphere is ok with live music but very loud and smoky. Food is so-so, including the service. For drinks, not much of a selection… and pricey as well. The live music, which included one belly dancer was just so-so.

Went there on a Saturday afternoon while travelling on the 30 heading home to Ottawa a few weeks ago. All we wanted to do was to purchase a few cigars to take home but the place and the people were so welcoming that we decided to stay for a cigar and a drink. The Gentleman who greeted us at the door was very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to speak with. He asked what our preferences were and made some very good recommendations based on that. He suggested we tried their House Blend which we did and we were very impressed at the quality of them for such a great price, all under $15 per stick. Lauryn was our server at the bar and she was very much fun to talk with as well she was very attentive. The Gentleman who helped us select our cigars even came back to see us to ensure we were comfortable and if we needed anything which was also very amazing.

Overall I highly recommend, Great place to purchase good quality cigars, reasonably priced and with a great atmosphere and staff. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to the South Shore.

I had brunch at Fathom in Victoria on July 21, 2023. Our server, Sunny, and the manager, Kate, were outstanding. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

We started with the crispy chicken sandwich, which was perfectly cooked, crispy and juicy. The chicken was coated in a crispy batter and served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, and aioli. The chicken karaage benedict was also delicious. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the chicken karaage was crispy and flavorful. The salmon and shrimp tartine was another great dish. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the shrimp were juicy and flavorful. The tartine was also topped with a delicious avocado spread.

Overall, we had a wonderful brunch experience at Fathom. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. The patio at Fathom is one of the best in Victoria. It is located on the waterfront and offers stunning views of the harbor. We would definitely recommend Fathom to anyone looking for a great brunch spot in Victoria.

It was my first time ordering here and I must say that their jollofrice is indeed very tasty. Their customer service was great!

Great dj and music the entire night. Food was yummy and deserves an easy five star. I didn’t enjoy the Shisha though not the best I have had. I wouldn’t recommend

I went to the terrace, had a cocktail and some entrees, everything was delicious and the view, omg the view, since it's in Old Montreal- old port, you get a view with water surrounding you. Gorgeous place and the waitresses were really nice. They even charged my phone 💚

Took me forever to get to this place with my friends and then I just wanted a sandwich and beer and they didn't let us in for no reason.

Do not go here! The room was extremely hot and have cigarette smell. After we asked the employee to turn up the AC, it was still very hot in the room. The menu is very sticky,so you can imagine it never gets cleaned. The washroom was okay, but lights are dim in some slots. There are so many other better places to go for karaoke in that same area. Avoid this place!!!

I had so much fun this weekend at Hyde & Seek, the service was amazing & the people was amazing. Security was amazing they my friends feels safe & bartender was extremely polite. I love the music it was actually a whole vibe & I’m definitely coming back next weekend.

I can’t forget Sunday, was a whole vibe & everyone was extremely polite & the service was fast & amazing from the bottle service girl & busser also

I can’t wait for the next event!!

Sadie was our bartender and she’s the best I’ve ever met! Great vibe and energy, beautiful and cool accent! Lit up the place completely !

We went there for a birthday party with a group of 8. We took out 2 bays and played 9 holes over 2 hours.
We were well taken care of with respect to food and drinks by Tony. Look forward to going back again

Bought two types of cigars. Both were so dry that they were un-smokable.
Had the place not been out of the way, I would’ve went back to return it.
Ended up in the dumpster. What a waste of money

Great quiet place to smoke a cigar and enjoy a well priced drink. Huge variety of cigars. My go to cigar lounge in and around Montreal

Room smelled like smoke. Was quite irritating to throat. Song selections were standard and usage was standard. Was roughly 500$ before tax and tip for a 20 person room. Dice and cups were provided for gambling games. Sound system and microphones worked well without too much interference. Kitchen service doesn't start until 10 so we had to wait quite a bit for food. They would bring out one dish at a time so we were still getting food at 1 am. Would recommend eating beforehand. Amount of food was also quite small and not reliable - fish balls stated 12 count but definitely did not get that many per order. Compared to other places, did not feel like the food was adequate for the amount of money spent.

1- The service was excellent with high level of manners and hospitality
2- The waiters working hard to give you best service ever
3 - The falafel plate was so yummy but the salad ( cucumber and lettuce) weren’t fresh
4 - The hookah in the beginning was good but after 35 min start gave me burned taste
5- Turkish coffee and Mango juice so good and yummy
6- The place was cleaned and organized

Don’t live near here, loud music for a few blocks away until early hours of the morning. Don’t bother trying to call, you’ll just get a very shrill beep in your ear before the phone disconnects

Been twice now, one VIP (photo with the two sand types), one normal booth. Great experiences, awesome people who work there. Hoping the bar will open soon (we've been told). They'll have league play soon as well, which sounds fun. Appreciate the staff and owners helping out and chatting about future plans. Best sim in the area made better by the service, bar and food options.

I was really excited when my friend brought me for lunch. The service was meh. The food was good, not amazing. The portion was great but the food was room temperature and seriously lacked flavor. It was if they cooked with no spice at all. Disappointing when Nigerian food is normally packed full of flavour and spice. When I asked for pepper sauce, they brought me Frank's Red hot sauce!! I felt offended at that point lol I would go back and give them a second shot BC I have heard good reviews - maybe the day I went was an off day?

We waited about 30 mins in line to get in on a Friday night, it was not even busy inside when we finally got in. Don't know why they were holding up the line. It seemed that if you knew the promoter or the security they let you cut the line and go right in. I guess they just want to keep a line outside to make them look busy. Eventually as the night went on, it did get busier inside. Bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, not clean and smell so bad. Drinks were okay. Only thing good was the music, they played afrobeats, hip-hop and dancehall.

It is a cool bar, nice ambiance, bartender was very friendly and diligent. We tried some of their cocktails and a couple by request, they were pretty good.

The food menu wasn’t as interesting though; so, it’s probably better to go just for drinks.

We came mid-week, not too late at night so, we just walked in and sat on the bar.

Went for the first time. Menu was WAY Overpriced, the selection is only in Mandarin so we were left guessing and scrolling for songs, mic and speaker was poor quality. Atmosphere was aesthetically nice but that was about it. Service wasn’t that helpful. They did not know how to make drinks- one drink had no alcohol and the cocktails were poured in pint size glass. A glass of water with lemon was $6.50 yet the beer was $6.99. How does this even make sense to overcharge for water???? We also asked if there was gratuity charge included or if the room was a minimum of $250.00 for the night before tax, but failed to tell us that they included a 15% room charge on top of the 13% HST for a total of 28%. My small glass of wine was $12.99 ...ridiculous!
