Afternoon Tea in Toronto and at the Prince of Wales Hotel NOTL

The beauty of Niagara on the Lake doesn't end in winter and the QEW highway from Toronto remains busy bringing tourists down the road into the Niagara area, especially during the annual Ice Wine Festival. We decided to check out the afternoon tea experience in the beautiful, vintage hotel Prince of Wales in downtown NOTL located at the corner of King and Queen Streets in the charming, small town surrounded by orchards and wineries.

Tea is served in the Drawing Room with traditional service daily from 11am to 5pm while there is also a Candlelight Highland Tea on Friday and Saturday evenings. The tea currently costs $55 per person, plus tax and tips, with more expensive options on the menu and everything is very fancy.

The hotel's website says, "Tea With an Imaginative Twist; Bring a little whimsy to your stay with a traditional English tea at Prince of Wales. Ornate tea sets, delicate desserts, and regal décor bring an attention-to-detail that transports you to the Victorian era."




In Toronto the Fairmont Royal York, across from Union Station, features a weekend Afternoon Tea from 11am till 4pm, with first seating being $95 per person and the second seating costing $120 per person in their Clockwork restaurant.

Their website says, "The timeless tradition of afternoon tea continues under the rosy glow of the clock. Served Saturday & Sunday, enjoy house-made buttery scones, savory sandwiches, and delectable pastries, while you sip on Fairmont curated quality teas. The centrepiece of the best afternoon tea in Toronto is our warm, freshly baked scones, served with rich whipped cream and fruity berry compote. Our inspired Fairmont afternoon tea menu also features an array of inventive, delicately crafted savory delights and indulgent sweets. A selection of aromatic Lot 35 Fairmont curated teas provide the essential accompaniment."

An afternoon tea date is a nice way to start your day, leaving the rest of your day free to take in a movie or theatre experience in Toronto's downtown core. OpenTable has a number of recommendations for Afternoon Tea in Toronto that you can check out.
