Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Vancouver

I had the most wonderful experience at Clockwork Rose for Afternoon Tea. After years of wanting to try it, I finally booked a reservation—for myself—for my birthday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I believe my server’s name was Selene, and they were truly exceptional. I was a bit nervous going in since I’d never been to Afternoon Tea before, and I was going solo. Selene immediately made me feel welcome and completely at ease. They walked me through the entire process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and cared for throughout. The tea: bottomless. The food: divine. The service: perfection. It was such a special experience, and I can’t wait to come back—next time with friends and family to share this gem of a place. Selene even brought out a special birthday treat at the end, which made the day feel even more meaningful.

We enjoyed our dinner here! Food was delicious, friendly greeting upon entering and the service was great—just the right amount of attentiveness. The only thing I would recommend is white tablecloths which would elevate the look and ambiance of the place.

We had a great Mother's Day brunch at Gracie's. The atmosphere and noise level are perfect for my hard-of-hearing elderly mother, the service was fantastic, and the food was great. The menu is big enough that everyone can find something they like, without being so large that it feels like a diner.

It was my first time at the Tavern and was pleased with the service and food. As more people came in, the noise level went up which made me a little uncomfortable. I would definitely return, but plan to dine at a less busy hour.

We had a lovely time at Bellpine to celebrate mother’s day early! So happy that Portland has a nice place like this in downtown now.
