Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Hintonburg

Really lovely afternoon high tea. Delicious sandwiches and cakes. The macaron and scones were outstanding. Service was very attentive and helpful. The ambience is very pleasant and calming too. We will definitely be going back.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch to celebrate a reunion with my sister and daughter. The waiter Dave was so attentive and kind, explaining all options including things not on the menu. The renovated space was gorgeous, the room dressed in soft pinks with marble islands and arty lighting. The food was presented with imagination and the combinations on the plate were so flavorful. We ordered grilled cheese with crab on a brioche, served with a raspberry sauce, all served on a pedestal, as well as a tuna tartar starter that was large enough for a main. Other options on the menu looked great, although some of them came with a hefty price tag. But if you are ordering lobster, foie gras, truffles and caviar, you expect to pay more. We recommend Zoe's highly, especially if you want to mark an occasion.

The afternoon tea at VANITEA is a must to try. The service is A1 and the food is delicious and you really get enough that you can't even finish all the bites. I was there for my aunts 60th birthday. When I made the reservation, I asked for a little dessert saying “Happy birthday !” and a candle over one of the pastries, they went further and they gave us 4 more pastries on a little bird cage on which they wrote the message with piping gel. It was awesome.
