High Tea
Chocolate Crossant and Merengue
We first tried here to go to the High Tea on Saturday. Blair is an avid High Tea lover and we have sampled them around the world. There are only a handful of places that do High Tea in Edmonton and at $25 a person this is certainly the most reasonably priced. You have to book the high tea in advance and they only service groups of 6 and smaller between the hours of 3-5pm on Friday and Saturday.
We each got to pick a pot of tea each from a large selection. The first taste was a lovely cool soup which I enjoyed but was too salty for Blair, followed by a selection of faced sandwiches with an interesting mix of flavours and some combinations I had never tried before but loved. The last taste was a mix of their delicious desserts in mini form. A great way to try everything they offer and then get a big one next time your nearby!
We have since been back four times, which for us is a record. It is one of the best coffees you can get in town and all the salads, desserts and sandwiches we've tried have been lovely. Sometimes the servings are a bit small so don't expect a big hardy meal.
The service can be a bit touch and go, the waiters are lovely but often very slow and a tad forgetful.
