There used to be a maid cafe in Toronto around 10 years ago.

The maids were simply above average (Chinese) girls who were dressed as french maids. They yelled out Irashaimase when you entered and served you food and drinks but that was about it.

The maids in Japan however are very good actresses who sing, dance, cast spells on your food, etc.

Of course there's no anime culture in Canada so one shouldn't expect that kind of service but because of that, there was no repeat value. Needless to say, the place closed down shortly after the hype was over.
