   We tried the cherry blossom high tea set and some of those items on the menu were really delicious. Unfortunately we were not able to have the sakura tea (out of stock they said) to match the theme but overall experience was great. Staff were slow but fairly friendly. I would say the price for the tea set is a bit on the pricy side but it wasn't too bad overall.

   The booking available here was for 3:15p so we took it but I would never recommend the afternoon seating. We didn’t get the food til 4pm though sat down by 3:15p and they were aggressively putting the bill and boxes down by 430p. At first I thought oh no we ate too slow. But when I looked back at the photo we had only 45 min there from the time the food arrived. Would NOT recommend the afternoon seating there, even if it’s available again! I prefer the nicer regular experience at the YVR Fairmont.

   We've had afternoon Tea at the Fairmont before. The current theme is Cherry Blossom. The tea room looked beautiful. Lovely choice of tea. Delicious food, I loved how they incorporated a Blossom tree on the food stand. I'd recommend a reservation as they were fully booked. We were told by our server seating time was 90 minutes so felt a little rushed.

    Absolutely beautiful and stunningly decorated Tea Room, the Cherry Tree Blossom theme was done very well, the ambiance was amazing! Great tea selection, we loved the scones, tofu sandwich was the best sandwich along with the egg. We weren’t fans of the mushroom sandwich or the cakes, however we did like the match profiterole and sesame cookies! Overall it was a fun experience!

    The decor is absolutely amazing, cherry blossoms theme for high tea fits soooo well and so creative and meticulously delivered!! We absolutely loved it for a girls get together. The only thing is 90mins is really a bit too short considering the target market for this afternoon tea (girls/friends catch up, get together, having quality time etc), I highly recommend considering lengthening the seating to 2 hours, that should strike a good balance. Thank you for the amazing experience!

    I always look forward to the themed teas, such whimsical fun with delicious creative food. And everyone is so nice! The Lunar New Year theme was so good, especially the almond cookie scone, I’d love the recipe lol! My friend dining with me mentioned the bao buns were huge in comparison to the other dainty mini items.

    We really enjoyed the Lunar New Year themed Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont. Excellent ambiance. The teas were delicious, the scones and the sweets were excellent. The savoury items were good too, except the Bao with chicken was kind of bland. My favourite one was the Shrimp Toast and Char Siu Sablefish. Everything was beautifully presented. Service was ok. I do enjoy the themed afternoon teas at Notch 8. It's the 3rd one I've gone to over the years.

    The concept was good, but the “execution” needs further consideration. The selection of teas was excellent overall. Certain food items should have at least been served warm. Was the rabbit cake supposed to be moist? The egg custard tarts were not quite authentic.

    This is NOT a “British-style” afternoon tea service, rather a bunch of wacky Chinese-themed foods, heavy up on cheap sweets. A disco sound track blares overhead in a small dining area with Chinese dragon decor — and your food is served bento-box style in wicker baskets. The scones with creamy butter & jam were good… after that it was all forgettable. Seek elsewhere for a proper tea experience!

    The Bun of the Hainanese chicken needs to be steamed and eaten warm. The way it is made and serve makes the bun cold and dry. The bun is called “mantou” . Mantou are normally soft and warm, not cold and dry - ew.

    The service was great, food was lovely but just not as many savoury offerings as we thought there would be for the cost, quite a lot of sweet items though. The decorations were lovely and a wide range of teas available.

    The tea and scones were lovely, especially the scones which were super fresh and still warm. Some of the fusion flavours were not our favourite, perhaps just because we grew up eating a lot of them and the twists just didn't quite work for us. The atmosphere and decor were also super cute!

    We have been to High Teas all over the world and were looking forward to this experience for my daughters 21st birthday. We were 2nd table sat.. yet I had to flag down a server and ask to order after every other table already had tea and scones on their table. I made special note in reservation, told the hostess and my server I was allergic to almonds so there was plenty of time for chefs to adjust items . One of the scone selections had shaved almonds so instead of offering a substitution ( of anything) they just gave me 2 raisin scones… The fruit pastry had almond cream so they just gave me 2 pieces of the dry lemon cake… The macaroon was made with almond paste so they just gave me 2 of the dry, hard egg custard tarts… Come on Fairmont Hotel … with your top chefs… was there not a cookie, a brownie , a different piece of cake to substitute 3 items ? I’m sorry but for $70 per person , I expected more than just giving me 2 of everything. I’m sure I am not the first person to catch them off guard with a food allergy. The food was dry, tasteless and we left most of the savory items on the plate after tasting. Extremely disappointed, do not recommend.

    We went for the Lunar New Year Afternoon Tea. The themed room was well decorated and set an enjoyable ambiance. Service was exceptional - all our needs were well cared for. However, the food was mediocre. Savoury items tasted very bland and were cold and hard. Sweets were a bit better but nothing remarkable. If you’re looking for an experience where you just want to enjoy some tea and enjoy the ambiance, this isn’t a bad option. However, don’t expect much from the food.
