Afternoon & High Tea

Steeped in British history, Victoria has been rich with tea culture since the 1840s when the British first introduced the prestigious practice.

In true Victorian style, this time-honoured tradition is alive and well, with some modern West Coast flair mixed in: Think local honey produced in rooftop apiaries, exotic infused teas and Asian-influenced menus. Relax and enjoy an afternoon tea in several stately tearooms, loose leaf shops, gardens and cozy cafés across the city.
