Moorside Tea Room - Chelsea

We read the reviews and had low expectations. But on all accounts they were surpassed. The service was friendly and experienced. The tea was with real leaves of reasonnable quality in a special paper pouch. The food was the best surprise! The soup was home...made, a fresh and pleasant vegetable purée. Then a very well baked quiche, eggs done light and fluffy, with locally smoked salmon. The menu is simple. This is not Haute Cuisine, but a 5* in its own little niche. The setting in a heritage building makes this place very appealing.

Great eating, great service, back to what we expected 3 years ago before t co took over. it did not try traditional English tea service, but it looked delicious. quiche as main and teebiscuits with dipped cream and jam as dessert were excellent.

I had lunch on the terrace in early October. It was my first time in Ottawa. The terrace had a great view of a large lawn from a bygone era. The service was a bit slow, but the food was decent, though not outstanding. The dessert was excellent. The waiter was friendly and efficiently handled everything by himself - filling water glasses, checking in and out, and serving dishes. The lamb dish was nothing to write home about. The prices were on the higher side, but it was worth it to sit on the terrace. The dining room seemed small and dark, possibly not worth the premium prices. I recommend going to the terrace!

The Tea Room is not easily accessible, especially for those with limited mobility. Additionally, the dining experience was disappointing and considered to be overpriced.

We visited the teehouse for a special occasion (motherday 2017). I knew in advance that the contractor changed last year and we were interested in meeting the new owner? tegan their partners are contagious and responsive. important, almost all. ingredients for the afternoon tea service are made on site. the Scenarios (2 per guest) were miraculous. the heavenly jam was beautifully flavored not too sweet. the service was relaxed and friendly. thank you. mathew. the finger sandwiches were delicious and made with smoked salmon. nice! we met near 2 h later and happy to know that the teehouse is now in good hands. Thank you. tegan.
