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.

    I’ve been to various High Teas all over the city, and by far Afternoon Tea at the King Edward Hotel is THE best! Everything from menu items, to the flavours to the service is always outstanding! Thank you to the Victoria Cafe at the King Edward Hotel for a fabulous experience!

    - Pretty tasty food - Decor in urgent need for a reno or major update - Service crew had the class and refinement of a dancing hypopotamus and needs desperate help and be fully replaced for staff that is service oriented and more refined.. embarrassing

    Good but it would have been nice to sample a few different tea's, but only one tea offered. I thought the sandwiches were good and offered a change for something that I did not like. Would have been nice to be able to get additional. Scones and sweats were delicious

    Service was terrible. we got our lunch way before we got any tea. Not everyones tea came at the same time. The server was meh. Did not explain anything and was none existent. We had to ask someone else for our bill! Sandwiches and scones were nice. Dessert was a disappointment. This is a Christmas tradition and I am not sure if we will be ack next year or try somewhere else.

    Valet parking attendant, Dave, had an excellent service and friendly. Dave parked my vehicle and retrieve vehicles in a safe and efficient manner. He provided directions to Victoria Cafe per my request. When I was in my vehicle on my way leaving, I saw that Dave was checking other valet parked vehicles as part of his duty. I said Merry Christmas and he said the same back to me. Our server, BishwarupD, was excellent and helped us during the time of Afternoon Tea. BishwarupD always had a smile on his face, knows the menu, paid attention and care about our needs and wants, a good listener, checked back regularly to make sure all needs are being met.
