    I’ve gone to vanitea several times over the years and it’s typically been one of my top spots but my recent experience was unfortunately different. The restaurant was chilly, the portions were small, the food quality went down and the experience no longer felt worth the price. Not sure if it’s new owners or chefs but it was disappointing given the beautiful space and kind staff.

    Lovely service and ambience but the food was very dry and the overly sweet deserts (as someone with a sweet tooth) dominated the tiers. I would have liked some cream (clotted or not) with the scones.

    Second time at vanitea and still pleased by all the gluten free and vegan options available for brunch. As a celiac guest and now gluten free intolerant I was ecstatic to see gluten free available for brunch on bread with my beef Benedict. Thank you for a safe space to eat and yummy lattes!

    The afternoon tea at VANITEA is a must to try. The service is A1 and the food is delicious and you really get enough that you can't even finish all the bites. I was there for my aunts 60th birthday. When I made the reservation, I asked for a little dessert saying “Happy birthday !” and a candle over one of the pastries, they went further and they gave us 4 more pastries on a little bird cage on which they wrote the message with piping gel. It was awesome.

    I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my mom’s birthday at the Vanitea Room, and it was truly a delightful experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and soothing, providing the perfect setting for a special mother-daughter outing. The service was exceptional—warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. The dining experience was creative and unique, offering a fresh take on afternoon tea that felt both indulgent and thoughtful. The ambiance added an extra layer of charm to the visit, making it a place I would highly recommend and will certainly return to again!

    Went for the afternoon tea experience, my guest said it one of the best ones in Ottawa as we tried all of them so far. Great service and attention to detail only irritant was the fruit flies that were flying around the whole 1.5hrs we were dining. I would come back a third time.

    We went for drag brunch and the show was amazing. So was the actual venue. However, the food was not worth the price. The tower was mostly bread and the dessert was a croissant pressed in a waffle maker, which sounds good but it made the bread very dry, hard to cut and very hard to chew. I’d recommend an a la carte menu that people can choose from for such an event, especially if it’s $70 a person.

    Drag brunch was spectacular! Loved the queens and the music was amazing. First time having the upgrade of bottomless mimosas and the passionfruit was super yummy. LOVE the new take on brunch towers croissants. I'm vegan and gluten free and they made accommodations for both myself and my daughter victoria. Thank you gisline and gwenyth for going above and beyond!

    The food quality has gone down since I’ve been last year. Was disappointed with the food and the prices we paid. Overall I’ve been three times and the past visit was disappointing
