- KKrisVIPToronto / Ontario •48 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 6, 2025Really fantastic place - great, great food, super interesting wide array of wines, beautiful spot, and warm, knowledgeable service. The one challenge is when the dining room is full we (not hard of hearing) have a difficult time speaking and hearing each other. We would come even more often if sound absorption was strategically added. Everything else is perfect.More infoFaunaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Canadian• Downtown•4.9
- MmikaylaOttawa •2 reviews5.0Dined on May 17, 2025The Afternoon Tea experience had lots of excellent tea selections, whether that be with or without caffeine, and even for someone who doesn’t like tea, such as myself. The savoury, sweet and scone selection was very tasty and well paired. We will absolutely be coming back as it was a great price and an overall great experience for anyone!More infoThe Vanitea Room a Tea Salon and EateryPrice: Expensive• Breakfast• Downtown•4.3
