The Classic High Tea was magnificent. The Scones and croissant with clotted cream and Jam was yummy. We found it too much food for two . They have a petit version which we might try next time. Lovely was to spend your afternoon.

We weren't terribly impressed with our experience at Quelque Chose. It was quite cold, and a bit on the noisy side. They didn't have many non-caffeine choices for tea, and were out of our first choice for tea and macarons. The server wasn't very knowledgeable, and then the service just seemed to stop half way through our visit. The novelty of the experience of "Lunch Tea" dissipated quickly.

Great service and food was very nice. Enjoyable afternoon. Clotted cream instead of whipped would have made it a 5.

Loved the overall vibe. The server was very nice. The food was fresh, tastey, and visually appealing. We were 3, ans we all agreed about the presentation, food,and ambiance. Our only disappointment were the macaron themselves. Way way too sweet, and the crust was thicker than it should be, and a little chintzy on the cream filling.

Unfortunately our tea time was at 11am and they open at 11am. That being said I think knowing already what we ordered it should of been faster. We got our tea and fruit salad at 10:50am. The server was very pleasant but it made no sense why it took that long. There was plenty of staff and no other tables until 11:30!?! They need to be better opened before the first seating

No one in my party of 3 liked the square desserts, they were a bit frozen and didn't taste that good. Our waiter was ok, had to call him/ get his attention to get any service. Also spoke to us in French a few times even though we only responded in English and were initially confused when he started speaking to us in French. The scones were probably the best I've ever had, and their macarons are always delish!

Big disappointment. Been to other afternoon teas and this one was a let down. The sandwiches were not fresh, you could tell they were a day or 2 old. Nothing special just plain sandwiches like you make at home. The other afternoon teas I've been to added a special touch to their sandwiches, for example: coronation dressing and sprouts in their egg salad sandwich compared to just plain egg salad. Also, white bread used for all sandwiches at Quelque chose compared to different bread used for each kind of sandwiches some place else. It is not worth $40 per person at all maybe $25 at most to be fair. I paid similar price elsewhere and got a lot more value for my money. Room for improvement. The best part was the scone, it was the best scone I ever had. Thank you

I loved this restaurant. The food was delicious (especially the scones) and the service was wonderful. They were very accommodating to move our table from the back to the front as there was a large group at the back. I will definitely be back again.

It was perfect for afternoon tea, the sandwiches were fresh and light, scones were tasty, and you can’t beat the selection of macarons. Although there was a small mix up with our table and a planned party the owner was apologetic and more than made up for it with the exceptional service. I would highly recommend this place.

The bread of sandwiches was very dry, as if done many hours ago and not covered in the fridge. Also, the fillings were minimal. This is really too bad, since the rest of the food was excellent. Both the croissants and the scones were very fresh and amazing, and the little chocolate cake was out-of-this-world. And your macaroons are always very good. I am returning this Saturday with a new group and look forward to see if the sandwiches have improved.

My boyfriend and I went to Quelque Chose for an afternoon tea, and we had a lovely time. We had the classic afternoon tea and the classic gluten free afternoon tea. Both had a great selection of delicious treats, and the service was great. Definitely an experience I would recommend and do again!
