"The afternoon tea at the Globe at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport is a nice treat. The mini sandwiches are fresh and tasty while the lemon cranberry scones are the best I've ever had. They pair it up with a beautiful strawberry jam and clotted cream. We were so stuffed that we had to take the desserts home. The "Jetsetter" tea is by far one of the best. This has now been my 5th time for tea at the Globe and I plan to return at least 2 or 3 more times the next few months."

"Attended the Mother's Day Sunday brunch per our family tradition and as usual the Globe delivered a great meal and experience. The price tag is not for those on a tight budget, but if you want a top end experience, you get it here."

"We were here for the afternoon tea. The gentleman that helped us with our reservations was great, and the hostesses were very friendly. But the servers and the female manager that was in the dining area really need to get re-trained. They were very inattentive and not friendly at all."

"I brought a voucher from socialshopper for afternoon tea. The service was great, we brought our 8 month old baby with us. The afternoon tea sandwiches were tiny!!! It seemed like they halved the portions of whats already bite size. Overall the food tasted okay but I would not return for tea service. The bill would have been well over $100 for the two of us and there are just better choices around vancouver. I felt that the afternoon tea was over priced even with the discount we had!"

"My holiday STARTS when I come through Fairmont's doors. My only regret is that it's one night on the way out of the country and one night on the way back in. One of these days I'll be sure to extend that, perhaps to a weekend :)
Sincerely thankful for your Airport Hotel, Lounge and Restaurant
David Courtice"
