  • I came here for their afternoon tea. The Library Bar has a dark, sophisticated, almost intimidating interior but then the leopard print seats lightens the mood. As expected there are bookshelves along the wall filled with hardcover vintage books adding to the historic feel. Service was excellent and my friend and I enjoyed the afternoon tea. We, as usual, left afternoon tea stuffed. They have 11 different teas to select from and I chose the Montebello Apple Spice. While I'm not usually a fan of fruity tea I thought I'd give this one a shot since it's different. It wasn't too sweet so I enjoyed it. We started off with mixed berries in a cocktail glass topped with a bit of whipped cream with a crumpet with a Grand Marnier butter & honey spread on top. I thought the Grand Marnier gave it a slight bitter taste so the honey really balanced the flavour. The finger sandwiches came next. This was my favourite part of the meal and I think they have the best finger sandwiches of all the afternoon tea places I've been to. The PEI Lobster & mango salad open sandwich and the Nova Scotia smoked salmon with a wasabi creme fraiche were the stand outs. The lobster & mango sandwich was fresh, light and creamy. The smoked salmon was not salty (as experienced from other places) and the wasabi gave just a slight kick to the otherwise "normal" smoked salmon sandwich. There was a smoked turkey breast and Ontario Brie sandwich. I enjoyed the brie sandwich more than I expected. It was also topped with an apple, strawberry & peach preserve slice which worked...I usually don't like mixing sweet & savoury. The pastries came next served on the tiered platter. My favourites were the fresh fruit clafouti (light & fresh) and the chocolate crunch flourless cake (really rich chocolate goodness). The madeleines were made with honey from their rooftop garden. The scones were served with organic cream and preserves. They were good but the Windsor Arms still wins the afternoon tea scone & cream competition (love it). It's $35 a person and you have upgrade to the Royal Tea Experience for an additional $25 for smoked salmon & caviar canapes that's paired with a Moet Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne.
