Such a fun experience! It was easy to make a reservation and the tea room is very pretty. Even though it was really busy and... quite noisy there was live piano music that made the experience even better. We had a wonderful server who explained thingsreally well and was really helpful and quick. The food tasted amazing! The scones were so good and the sandwiches lookedperfect. I would recommend this experience and the delicious food. It's a bit expensive but the b food quality is worth it.Remember the dress code. Read more
I have always wanted to do a proper tea and The Empress delivered an experience I will cherish. Four of us had four pots of tea... we shared. Two of is were coffee drinkers and were shocked we liked them all. The food was incredible. Apparently the scones Ihave had throughout my life were cheap knock offs. It is pricey, but we all felt worth it. Read more
I grew up in Victoria, which has a rich foodie culture enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. This was certainly no exception,... although strictly speaking, more of an experience than simply a meal. The food was great - the ingredients were super fresh, theflavours were clean and balanced, and the presentation was wonderful. Everything looked and tasted great. The tea itself wasalso of course, superb. But the stand-out part of this meal was definitely the ambiance and the service. You're not paying forthe food and drink, you're paying to be transported into an imaginative and idyllic experience of aristocracy and culture from abygone era. It's something quite different and may not be for everyone (especially at this price point! - I must admit I had thelovely blessing of being treated by a good friend, and this is certainly not something I would indulge in or recommend to otherslightly). But if you yearn for the picturesque and romantic traditions of old Europe (and lets be honest, have a fair bit ofdisposable income) then this is an experience is worth trying! Read more
Service is fantastic, the tea's themselves are exquisite and decadent but we found the sandwiches a bit lackluster. The quantity... is also a bit on the low side for the price *89 per person* if the quality of the sandwiches were better and the ingredientsmore higher end, then i would say its worth the money. Overall its worth it for the atmosphere and the scenery but food is noton par. Read more
