Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Queen West

Champagne and truffle fries by the fire in this inviting lobby. The perfect way to wrap up an afternoon at the ballet.

Great experience to catch-up, celebrate and intimate enough and still lively. The service and presentation was excellent and some food items were more fresh than others but overall pretty delicious

Lovely autumn high tea. Highly recommend for ambiance, tea quality, and food. Top notch service.

If you're looking for a unique and memorable experience that combines a hauntingly good atmosphere with absolutely delicious food, the Haunted High Tea at the Old Mill Toronto is a must! From the moment we walked into the historic venue, the setting was perfect – beautifully decorated with gothic accents, flickering candles, and just the right amount of eerie vibes to get you in the Halloween spirit. You could feel the history of the building, which only added to the whole ghostly charm! The tea selection was fantastic, with a variety of flavors that catered to every taste, from classic Earl Grey to a Peaches and Cream blend. The food was where the experience truly shined – each tier of goodies was as delightful as it was spooky. The sandwiches and desserts were crafted with care, and the flavours were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Special shout-out to the scones, which were a wild ride for my tastebuds! Cheese and pumpkin?! Ube and white chocolate?! How do they come up with this? Every single bite was delicious and they even catered to my gluten free diet! The staff really got into the theme, too, adding a fun and playful element to the experience. They shared stories of the Old Mill's "haunted history," which was a great touch and made everything feel authentic. Overall, it was such a cool event that perfectly captured the spooky season while delivering an elevated, gourmet high tea experience. I’d highly recommend the Haunted High Tea to anyone looking for a unique, memorable way to celebrate Halloween or simply enjoy a fantastic tea service in a unique, historic setting. 👻🍂🫖
