Reviews
We stopped here as a shore excursion during our cruise. The staff were all very kind and welcoming. The food was pretty tasty. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the egg salad on rye I’ve always had rye on my do not eat list. There was a little bit of disorganization and chaos, but that didn’t take away from the experience too much. I would love to go back again sometime!
Today was Mothering Sunday in Britain and so we arranged an outing with my Mum for afternoon tea. The venue was lovely, the service was great and we enjoyed the great selection of teas from Silk Road as well. I had a gluten free afternoon tea and found it to be equally as lovely as my family’s who were having regular afternoon teas. After lunch we walked around the guidance and enjoyed all the spring growth and flowers that were peeking up everywhere. The ponds and paths and mature trees were beautiful to explore. It is lovely to see such well-established and well cared for gardens open for public enjoyment and appreciation.
Disclaimer: this was my first time going to a high tea place. Atmosphere: The garden outside and the establishment itself was very cute. There was patio seating overlooking the gardens outside and intimate indoor seating inside. A lot of natural light shines in through the large windows. Service: the servers were very polite, attentive, and wore masks for diners' safety. The teapots, teacups, and plates were so cute and fancy! The teacups weren't very comfortable to drink from, but I felt stylish regardless. Tea: the tea selection was small, with 3 black teas, 3 herbal teas, and 3 green teas represented. I got to try 4 teas with my party and loved all of them. Despite not being a big tea drinker usually coffee instead, I drank about 12 teacups' worth. They offered cream and sugar, but they were seriously better without. I was impressed. Food: there were 3 tea service choices - high tea $65, afternoon tea $54, elevenses $28. The pricing is a bit confusing, but each selection comes with a set of food that is proportioned down to feed one person. You get more food with each higher tier, but there is 95% overlap so you more or less get everything of a lower tier by ordering a higher tier. I will post my short impressions of the food below, but in summary, their strengths were in the puff and butter pastries and weakness was in their desserts, which were much too sweet like American dessert sweet. I don't know if this is normal, but I did not like most of the dessert, even with bitter tea. Food review: -Salmon blini: the caviar tasted like tobiko, the crème fraiche was fatty and delicious. The rye pancake was very rye-y in flavor and delicious. Although it was good with the salmon, I recommend trying it on its own. -Cucumber sandwich: tasted like a Japanese convenience store sandwich which isn't ab insult, just by opinion -egg salad sandwich: also tasted like a Japanese convenience store sandwich -Lamb sausage pastry - tasted like curried lamb with bread, or like a schwarma or doner kebab with pita. Very interesting. -Chicken brioche: tasted like turmeric powder and chicken mixed together, but not cooked together. I was not impressed. -mushroom and bechamel vol au vent: actually tasted more like an asparagus gruyere pastry. Subtle yet savory from the cheese/bechamel. The asparagus? was nice. It was delightfully flaky. -Savory egg tart mini quiche: notes of mint and asparagus! -ham and cheddar mini croissant - delicious, but the cheese kind of tasted like Swiss cheese. The croissant was great! -Salmon profiterole- delicious choux! Salmon was good, too. -Scones - they were basically biscuits. Before this, I thought scones were supposed to be dry. Their scones were filling and really nice with their butter/clotted cream, jam, and tea! ---desserts--- -Lemon curd tart - really sweet cookie and curd. The shortbread could have been baked longer. Very sugary. -Chocolate ganache thing - tasted like a moist brownie. -Macaron - one of them exploded when I put my knife into it. Very hard, sweet, and tacky on the teeth. Terrible. But the other one tasted like a proper macaron with the right texture. Not sure what was wrong with the first... -Panna cotta - tasted like custard. Pretty good, but sweet. -Creme brûlee - nice ginger flavor! Very, very sweet, though. -Date, fig, and walnut? with cinnamon in pastry: Great puff pastry. Nice sweetness. One of the best desserts they had. Went well with tea. -Raspberry mousse in chocolate tulip cup: Good raspberry flavor, but a tad sweet, despite the tartness cutting the sugar. The chocolate tasted like candy - yuck. -Strawberry or raspberry cream in a cream puff: tasted like it was artificially flavored filling. -Lavendar sugar cookie or shortbread. Very, very hard. Too sweet but aromatic. Overall, I enjoyed the experience itself but would not mind not doing high tea again if they are all like this. I thought it was pricey for the food quality, but maybe people don't do these for the food? 3/5 - was not my cup of tea haha but may be yours if you like high tea.
My wife and I stepped in the teahouse at 11am sharp. This is a very nice teahouse, quiet with a beautiful view of the well maintained garden. There are only two 2-people tables right next to the big window. Since we had the first seating, we were lucky to be seated at one of the two tables. High Tea has more items than Afternoon Tea and some items on the Afternoon Tea menu are not on the High Tea menu. So we ordered one of each to cover the widest selection.. All items are freshly made at the Teahouse. One spice even come from their own garden. There are wide selections of the tea too. We enjoyed so much on everything presented. There's a small giftshop. The garden itself, separately managed from the Teahouse, is all run by volunteers. We were told that this is the prime time with a lot of flowers blooming. Gardener is trying to extend the season with flowers bloom later of the year. Oh, there's a guest book on the table right outside the dinning room. Don't forget to sigh it.
We loved the experience of winding our way through the peaceful garden to the teahouse. We weren't very hungry so we opted for the Elevenses tea. It was the right amount for our appetite at the time. The Silk Road tea was delicious. I chose the Earl Gray.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stop at the Teahouse at Abkhazi Garden while visiting Vancouver. While the friendly staff, teas, scones and cozy atmosphere were exceptional, it was the gardens and trails that really caught our attention. Thank you. Until next time!
A lovely afternoon tea with all the trimmings. Excellent service, large teapots, great quality scones, tea sandwiches and sweets. Lovely young lady serving and the setting is TDF. A beautiful 1.5 acre garden with mature trees, water features, flowers, and cultivated beds. Absolutely beautiful. $90 plus tax and tip. Worth your money. Reservations a must.
We return to Abkhazi Gardens for their Tearoom yearly. We find that the value is excellent and everything is delicious! Show up early to get a lovely window seat that overlooks their gardens.
Very cute little historic tea house in lovely gardens located out of the downtown area close to Oak Bay. Be sure to look up the history of the gardens-very interesting! They serve afternoon tea here and a few lighter options such as lunch and 'elevenses'. I found the food to be good, but not great. Some of the savoury items were a bit dry/stale, but the sandwiches were tasty, and the baking was hit and miss. The tea itself is always lovely- piping hot, lots of choices, and served in big china pots with charming mismatched cups and saucers. Service is excellent, and it's always a treat to walk the gardens at any time of year before or after the tea.
The place is beautiful and cozy. You get the nice garden view while enjoying your high tea! Great service and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
