Parlour went above and beyond to make my birthday special, there was even a menu with my name on it. The food was delicious and they accommodated all our dietary restrictions including vegan options! There was a cold wind where we were sitting but when asked if it could be turned off, they did so right away! Thanks for a fun night.

Afternoon Tea

Downtown

About the restaurant

Quelque Chose offers an afternoon tea service that draws on more than a century of English tradition while adding a French-inspired touch that brings the delicate charm of Europe to Westboro Village. In addition to the classic fare of scones, miniature desserts, and bite-sized sandwiches, our towers feature fresh-baked croissants, fine Parisian tea, and our signature macarons. As well as tea, our guests can enjoy steamy coffee drinks, decadent hot chocolate, and sparkling glasses of Prosecco and mimosas.

The afternoon tea still serves its role as a comforting snack and an elegant event for marking occasions, from birthdays and baby showers to just catching up with friends. With a wide selection of food and beverage, there is something for everyone at afternoon tea - just as the Duchess intended.

Great food, great service, as usual. The chicken bowl, the ribs, the half price wine, all worked to make it a great meal.
