The pop of corks. The buzz of celebration. This is where the city's best and brightest gather in the beating heart of the city. CLOCKWORK is where the city comes to sparkle. Champagne flows, conversations hum and every moment feels like the main event. It's downtown's most celebrated gathering place, wrapped in Art Deco glamour and alive with celebration. From seafood towers to refined small plates, the menu is designed for the way the city eats: stylish, social and made for sharing. And it all unfolds beneath the rosy glow of a clock as storied as the city itself.

    Loved our experience at afternoon tea at the Clockwork. The Fairmount is just so so beautiful and the tea itself was delicious, such an elevated afternoon tea experience where the classics are so thoughtful reinvented. My whole table loved the experience and enjoyed the food and ambience. I'd highly recommend and am already thinking of when i can go again!

    We just had a wonderful experience at Clockwork for afternoon tea. Laila and Paul were extremely professional and attentive. It was a pleasure to be there celebrating my Mothers Birthday. I highly recommend you experience it for yourself.

    Very disappointing. First, they lost our reservation so we had to wait for an available table. When discussing the reservation and showing them the email confirming it, it was clear that they have a very poor system. The music was too loud making it very difficult to have a conversation. The menu is quite limited with too few gluten free options to make it easy for someone with those dietary restrictions. I don't think I would go out of way to go there again.

    The muchroom tart wax the only thing we were not keen on but the rest was delicious . Everything is on the minute side but we were actually full and took the deserts home packaged in nice boxes in a Faurmont bag .. the background piano music was lovely and the ambiance and decor and seating beautiful and comfortable .. gorgeous bar too.. it is in the middle of the lobby.. clockwork is very classy and upscale .. I’ve done high tea many times many places and even Fairmont in Victoria .. the China was very classy as well.. it’s costly but worth the experience my Marsala chai I loved .. well done Clockwork Fairmont Toronto

    Exceptional food, incredible service and a lovely setting. The atmosphere is a bit noisy when trying to communicate but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Cannot say enough about the quality of the food and the lovely, attentive service.
