Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Afternoon Tea at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver offers a charming experience with its "creative themes" and "beautiful decor." Guests love the "delicious," "unique" food and the "attentive service." The Emily Carr-inspired setting adds an artistic touch. While some feel the time limit is rushed, the overall atmosphere is "magical" and well worth the visit.

Really disappointed in the substitutions made for a dairy allergy. “Sandwiches” we’re 2x slices of cucumbers with topping, 1x store bought tortilla chip with salsa, 1/4 slice of bread with sliced meat and fig jam and 1/4 mini sandwich. This high tea used to be spectacular, but it fell short, especially for the high price point. Other high teas are making better substitutions.

The holiday high tea was wonderful. The only caveat was that we didn't know there was a time limit for how long we were able to be there. I understand the need to ensure people don't linger too long, given how popular the high tea experience is, but I would have liked to have known how much time we had. It came as a surprise when we were told that 75 minutes were all we had, and that they were up. Otherwise, an outstanding holiday experience.

Lovely room. Service was good. The food, however, was not very good! Some of the savouries were oddly sweet, the scones were dry. The sweets were pretty good. Some of the items had odd flavour choices. They were a little tardy getting us seated, but very prompt at ushering us out at the allotted time. Disappointed for the hefty price tag.

A great holiday tradition and they do such a good job with dairy free. More food than you can eat. It’s a holiday tradition that my granddaughter and I won’t miss

One of the best afternoon teas I’ve had. The food was delicious- the lobster roll my favorite savory. The service was everything high tea should be- attentive yet not intrusive. The setting is unexpected, and felt festive. The sweets- as gorgeous as they were tasty. Highly recommend.

This was an incredible high tea experience in a hidden gem within the Fairmont hotel. Estella provided exceptional and attentive service, accommodating my food allergies with care. The ambiance was elegant and beautifully decorated for winter, though we learned the decor changes frequently, offering a fresh surprise with each visit. Each guest selects one tea flavor, with the option to add a cocktail or bubbles for an additional charge. The food is served in a classic tiered setup: savory items on the bottom, scones and biscuits in the middle, and desserts on top. We overheard another table request extra savory items in advance (when making their reservation, not day of), which the restaurant accommodated—something to note if you prefer more savory or sweet options to plan ahead for. The portions were generous for 2; after enjoying a large breakfast at 8 AM, the 3 PM high tea left us completely satisfied without needing dinner or late-night snacks. Highly recommend this delightful experience!
