Villa Elina in Vaudreuil-Dorion

I had an outstanding outing with a friend that was truly a remarkable experience. Even without a reservation, we confidently secured an excellent table. When the band began to set up, we proactively requested seating closer to the stage, and the staff quickly obliged by placing us right in front of the band. This arrangement created a vibrant atmosphere that significantly enhanced our experience, making it feel like a private performance just for us. During the brief wait between services, we took advantage of the time to enjoy some delicious mocktails and engage in meaningful conversation. The food was exceptional, and our waitress provided insightful recommendations that guided us in making excellent choices from the menu. Overall, it was an unforgettable evening.

This was our third or fourth visit for dinner. Food was fantastic. Service even better ! JP and Patrica were extremely attentive and had great recommendations.. Fettuccini carbonara, scallops and filet mignon were all fantastic. What a special treat for a nice romantic dinner

Good breakfast place with a nice view over the lake, a great environment, and decent service. I don't recommend the buffet, as it is quite a classic one in terms of options and quality. The only difference to me is the quality of the croissant. Edit : I went for dinner, and definitely recommend the prosciutto pizza, the Cesar salad, and the cannolo (best I had in Montreal!).

Went for a Sunday brunch. Amazing view from the terrace and the food was pretty good too. I understand it’s a 3 course meal but it’s a bit pricey still

Tea time was amazing! And so was the room service

I reserved for high tea to bring my mom, my daughter, my sister and her daughter. The website said we could reserve until 5 pm so I reserved at 4 pm by phone a week before. When I reserved, the person did not say anything about how long we could stay. Then, the night before, another person called me from the restaurant to say that we could only stay until 530 since they had to prep dinner service. I told her I was disappointed they did not tell us about this before but I moved up reservation to 330 and she said that was fine. When I showed up my sister said they had stuck in a dark corner (while the entire place was empty) and she had to debate with them to be seated near a window (this is a restaurant renowned for the views of the water). They asked her if it was a special occasion! They finally put us by a window but right beside the kitchen door and all the serving areas w utensils etc (again, entire place empty). The tea service was ok though the food arrived before the tea and nothing tasted fresh. Then I opened an individual-sized jam container and saw that it had not only been opened but someone had already eaten out of it. When I asked the waitress to replace it, she had no reaction. We also asked if we could get an extra order of tea sandwiches and cakes since it is a pretty sparse plate and the waitress said they could not, since everything is made 2 days before! This explains why nothing tasted fresh (including the puff pastry). So we got some more food from kids menu (priced like an adult menu). Finally at 455 pm the people running the restaurant proceeded to loudly plan the evening while standing up beside our table. I had to actually ask if they could just give us a few minutes before screaming over us. We left, vowing to never do this again. Voilà: What was supposed to be a lovely girls tea for 3 generations (everyone had dressed up etc.) turned into a slight nightmare. So no more tea (or anything else) at Elina's for me.

Tea Ceremony What a wonderful experience it was! As a tea and coffee lovers, we always like to explore new places that provide unique and pleasant experience.Warm and calm atmosphere, beautiful lake view, kids friendly, fantastic service, delicious tea and delectable pastries - just to mention a few that makes this establishment stand out from the lot. We really enjoyed it and would definitely come back again and again!

Service 5/5 Look, from start to finish the staff were very professional, the experience was excellent. The musician came to sing her happy birthday at desert and the staff was very attentive to ask her name before hand to sing her a personalized happy birthday song. The waiters and bus staff were excellent, always available and very friendly. The manager welcomed us when we arrived and wished us a great remainder of the day when we left. Truly 5 star service all around. Food 6/5 4 course brunch, we had the fish entrée, pasta, and sea bass and lamb Overall we found the portions somewhat small, especially the pasta course, however the food was incredibly good and definitely made up for the smaller portions. Not sure how they cook the lamb, in my culture we pride ourselves on our lamb and I have eaten lamb countless number of times in my life, but unanimously we proclaimed after tasting it that it was by far the best lamb we had ever eaten in our lives. Congrats to the chef, his recipe is outstanding. Price $$$$$ - High Went for Sunday brunch on my mothers 80th birthday. 4 people with tip 560$, we had mimosa's and coffee. The brunch is 85$ per person for the food only. So it is on the pricy side, and for us we would go back for a special event or something of that nature. Recommendation ; Ultimately my recommendation is to treat yourself to this place on special events as despite the price being high, the quality of the food is extraordinary and the professionalism of the service will make your experience truly special. Thanks for taking care of us on my mothers 80th birthday.
