Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Chinatown / Kensington Market

Our tea guide / host was so lovely.He was attentive and very professional. All our special dietary preferences were fulfilled. The tea settings were beautiful as was the purple tea room. Food divine.

We had a lovely day for afternoon tea at the King Edward Hotel. The service was amazing and the tea service was beautiful and very tasty! I had the Garden Tea and it was delicious. My friend has about allergy and the my took great care to make sure her serving was nut free.

The food and service are phenomenal. There is an amazing pianist playing in the background, which makes the whole experience very classy.

Service was great. We were a party of 3 with regular, regular gluten-free and vegetarian afternoon tea options. Our savoury, scones and sweets were presented on a tiered plates; all pieces were tasty. We enjoyed the Sloane tea offerings which we all drink at home, só it was nice to enjoy it at The Old Mill. We will be returning to enjoy afternoon tea for the next season!

I took my family to Astor Lounge for the High Tea. The aesthetic of the lounge is very nice. We were seated near a window and it was quite drafty, so they had some sort of space heater which blew out dry hot air, so that took away from the ambience a bit. The hostess was pleasant, but I wouldn't say she was proficient at explaining the high tea to us and we had to clarify how it worked. She also didn't seem particularly knowledgeable about the tea or the pastries/desserts. The tea and the food were great, however. Overall, I wouldn't say its an amazing value at $95 per person, but for the experience, it's reasonable for at least a one-time thing.
