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.

    the afternoon tea experience was really underwhelming ... the room, the service, the sandwiches were all nothing special. I would have expected something more special from the Kind Eddy.

    The hi-tea was very tasty. I know most hi-tea rooms also serves good coffee but the coffee even though it was expresso, did not taste good. However, I was not charged for the coffee which was a nice surprise. I did not complain to get the free coffee, I think they can tell for the fact that I left it mostly untouched. Did not expect to be placed in a ballroom style set up. It felt like a business convention and less like a cosy, Xmas hi-tea we wanted. Overall I gave it a good rating because the waitress was super polite and the food was really good.

    It took 1 1/ 2 hours for our scones and desserts to be served. By then our tea was cold and even though we requested hot water, the water didn't arrive until just before we decided to leave. The room was not very festive either. The whole experience was not worth the money!!! Will not return.

    Very quaint and festive would recommend to everyone of all ages. Maybe some music would have been nice in the background.

    $79 dollar is fair and can say good value in comparison to dt Toronto's going rate . Excellent service and lots of desert and food. The only bad things: None. If you prefer Chinese tea, their English tea may not be your cup of tea - literally.
