Afternoon Tea

Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for brunch

Since the turn of the 20th century, afternoon tea has been a tradition at the King Edward Hotel. Throughout the
history and evolution of afternoon tea, our service has remained one of the paramount tea experiences Toronto has to offer. As with anything we do, when embracing the future of our tea, we do so with respect to the history and tradition that has made us synonymous with Tea in Toronto.

We invite you to step through our doors, pass into a world where old world luxuries become revived, and experience
the personality and charm our hotel has to offer. Chef Daniel Schick and his innovative team constantly push the
boundaries of sweet and savory in whimsical and playful manners to truly create a royal experience.

In an effort to sate even the most experienced tea palates, The Omni King Edward Hotel is proud to offer a
meticulously curated selection of premium teas from two Canadian companies: Sloane Tea Company from Toronto
and Tea Leaves based out of Vancouver.

We’ve tried Afternoon Tea before in our hometown and this being our second afternoon tea experience was incredible! before even going into the Victoria Cafe, the hotel staff, were incredibly kind and helpful! Even though I was not staying the night I had a luggage which i was hoping to put away before my reservation and i was able to leave it with the concierge for no extra fees! as well, since I was quite a bit early, I was able grab a glass of water and stay in the lobby while waiting for the rest of my party. Now on to the experience! The hostess was extremely kind, and our server too! Even when we had to add another member to out party last minute, they were able to accommodate without making us feel awkward (mind you, we were also very apologetic and let them know it’s understandable if it wasn’t possible). the food was delicious! and they were also accommodating to dietary meals, having a vegetarian option as well as the option to substitute specific savouries if needed! The amouse-bouche was very delicious and the teas were very fragrant! the variety of savouries and desserts were perfect and just as delicious if not more than everything else! We were a bit worries after finishing our clotted cream, but our wonderful server was able to get us some more as well as restock our sugar, milk, and hot water in our tea-pots. 10/10 recommended!!

Everything from our waiter to the food was wonderful. Both of us are height-challenged and the waiter wonderfully got us cushions to be more comfortable. Thank you!
