I had the pleasure of visiting The Library Bar twice during my Weekend at The Fairmont Royal York Hotel. My first visit was for a few drinks prior to my restaurant review at Epic. My first two beverages were on the special Queens Jubilee Cocktail List, such a special treat.

After our St Lawrence Market tour the following morning we popped into the Library Bar once more to enjoy the hotel’s traditional High Tea program. Mike and I each selected our favorite loose leaf teas and spent the next few hours sampling sweet pastries and savoury dainty sandwiches.
