  • Big Taste & weekly date night landed us at Laurier Lounge on Saturday. I had been here once before for a girlfriends birthday, we had a wonderful private room upstairs and the food was excellent. This time, I was eager to try the fondue since we usually venture up to Banff for that. We were seated upstairs again, which was lovely, however the lighting was so dim that I could NOT see the menu! The waitress must have noted my squinting (and my face about 2 inches from the menu) so she brought over another candle. It didn't help much, but I appreciated the gesture. The dim lighting made for a really romantic setting, so I couldn't complain too much. The ambiance was very warm and cozy, I liked that a lot. Since we were set on the Big Taste menu, we knew what we were getting right away, which was the 3 course fondue meal. We ordered a bottle of wine to start off, which as usual in these types of restaurants was RIDICULOU$, but it was date night so why not. I could tell the server was busy so I didn't pay too much attention to our wait time, especially since I was in good company, but it seemed that the wine did take a while. She actually spilled a bit on my foot while pouring it - no biggie, just a waste of my wine! Haha. We debated ordering some appies along with our fondue, but our waitress simply stated that it would be "too much food". Now, we like to eat. A LOT. So I found it a little off putting, but we decided to share a soup anyway. Once that was out of the way, we received our first course which was the cheese & bread, and it was heavenly. The second was the meat (ball?) with a variety of sauces. I enjoyed the sauces a lot, but I wasn't a big fan of the broth cooking method as well as the cut of beef (so thin)...I really enjoy Grizzly House in Banff because there is a hot rock method that is much tastier/healthier and the pieces of meat are thick and flavorful. This was one thing that I found Laurier Lounge lacking in, but it's all about personal preference. Finally, we had the chocolate and fruit fondue which as always, was delicious. Thanks to the wine, our bill was a bit more than I expected, but it was a nice experience. I would like to return here for the poutine, because I've heard it's really tasty. However, the next time I am craving fondue, I will drive out to Banff for that.
