| - Classy high tea for a girl days!
I went with 2 other friends and we were seated in a corner with plush couch like chairs, the dark wood and antique looking furniture really brings a fancy feeling,You want to put your pinkys up! it was quiet and great for catching up and chatting. The service was good, not amazing but good enough.
We got the Berry Berry, which was really really red in colour. The Kea Lani Orange Pineapple tea was light and refreshing but my favourite was the Kyoto Cherry Rose tea, it was bold and floral. It came in floral tea sets which were beautiful.
The finger sandwiches were not bad, the best was the turkey with cranberry and cucumber and watercress. The pastry tower and cream puffs shaped like swans- pretty but didnt feel as fresh as they could be, a berry panna cotta which had great fruit flovour, the macarons were ok again not as fresh as Id like them to be. The scones were delicious and it was the best Devonshire Cream I've ever had.
Going in the summertime also has a great perk, you can go for a rooftop garden tour! After tea, we walked up a long flight of stairs, unfortunately the chef and our tour guide forgot the roof key and he had to go back downstairs to get it, leaving our group in the stairway which got really stuffy and hot. The garden has a great view of the CN tower and he took us around and showed us what they grew, we also got to pick some herbs and strawberries to nibble! They also have a bee farm up there (which scared me a bit haha)
Even though its a bit pricey it makes for a lovely afternoon outing!
