I heard about the afternoon tea at Prince Tea House, so we decided to try as we were on a quest to try all the afternoon teas in the city. Interesting place for sure with a chic decor that is perfectly suited to the theme of this place.
We decided to solely go for their afternoon tea for two, knowing that they offer other options if you are not up for it. The afternoon tea included small sandwiches (pastrami with Swiss cheese, smoked salmon with avocado, cucumber with tzatziki, crab meat with aioli, and wasabi deviled eggs), scones, assorted desserts (macarons, fruits tarts and flourless chocolate cake), as well as unlimited tea (I went with the usual, mint).
I admit that we were a bit surprised that they would not accommodate the fact that Jodi is vegetarian, not that I did not enjoy the smoked salmon and pastrami (my favorite), but they could have made an effort and double down on the vegetarian sandwiches. The scones were of a good size, slightly hot and delicious with clouted cream, and overall the sandwiches, although small, were good. However, we were disappointed with the desserts that were just ok. But hey, you get what you pay for, the overall experience costing $55 for two. Still, I am glad we tried but do not think I would go back as this is nothing to rave about.
Enjoy (…)!
