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.

This is such a lovely and authentic Afternoon Tea experience- the sandwiches, scones and desserts are beautifully crafted and taste absolutely divine! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the service is excellent. We had a such a great experience with Dey/Day (apologies for the spelling).

Afternoon Tea- I love how the food is displayed on the tiers with the desserts and scones. Unfortunately the sandwiches were served on a plate separate from the tiers and finger sandwich style (the beef Wellington, I would hope that it was in a puff pastry, but it wasn’t). The food flavours were good and the desserts were just the right amount of sweetness.

Overall excellent high tea. The food and service was exceptional. They even sang Happy Birthdqy for my mom and accommodated our dietary restrictions. Highly recommend Cafe Victoria for high tea. The only thing that could use some updating is the interiors but overall I still give this spot a 5.

We had an outstanding experience enjoying afternoon tea. The variety of available teas is really impressive and the sandwiches are awesome- even providing vegetarian option. And the scones rock. I haven't tested a better one. Usually scones are dry and dense but not these. The dessert closer was a delight. And to top it off it's delivered with professional and welcoming service to guide you through the breadth of teas.

Great variety of small sandwiches to eat. Lots of sweets to try. The scones were delicious with the jam and creams. They have a great spread for children as well.
