My daughter and I were in Almonte for the Christmas Market, and wanted a quick lunch. We spotted…read morethis little place as we were coming out of the market venue and thought "why not". In we went. I am so glad we did this. It's very unassuming on the outside. Inside it's charming - while aspects of the tea room / restaurant are clearly made with current-day materials, you get the charm of past days with the china, real tea pots and display cases. It's very cute, the tea is excellent and it's a lovely spot to stop by as the days get colder. Like the decor, the food is also, in some ways current day like the rather modern special of the day (a bowl of rise with deliciously spiced chicken and bites of potato). But in other ways it harkens back to older ways with their delicious fresh baked goodies. One thing I appreciated: the servings were right-sized and the prices reflected it. Lunch for 2 with tea, dessert and a 20% tip (service was excellent) was around what I'd pay at a chain for a single meal alone.

Yesterday, for just a moment, my wife and I stepped off the sidewalk of this idillic little…read moreCanadian town and into a tiny corner of heaven. On the recommendation of a young girl that we encountered en route to Almonte we decided to try this place with "great pies". It was so much more than that. Charming, quaint and friendly are words that come to mind. The owner and staff were funny and warm and their offerings were world class! We enjoyed fresh, handmade quiche, soup, salads and pie & cake that were to die for. My wife had the decadent butterscotch pie with 20 inches of merengue (slightly exaggerated) and I had THE BEST piece of carrot cake on Earth (no exaggeration). While dining we took up a conversation with a couple of locals who eventually took us on a tour of the town and even welcomed us into their home for a glass of wine. Truly a wonderful day.

We've been in for scones and tea, had meals and shared a teapot tucked in a knitted cozy, and I look forward to going back for more of the same. The restaurant has an eclectic design of British teacups and teapots hung around the walls. My favourite table has a window seat in it, like a bay window, with a pillow for back support, with a British flag design on it. Aren't there likenesses of the Queen (Elizabeth II) around the shop? I believe so, and wonder what they will do now that QEII has passed on? Perhaps they will eventually post pictures of King Charles III. It will be my pleasure to go back to check it out. But that will have to wait until after October 5, as they are currently closed for holiday.

My wife had one of the scones and liked it. Better than your average coffeehouse scone, if a little soft. I had the moroccan tomato-peanut soup, which was excellent. Did make me curious about their other lunch options. Among their offerings is a private "high tea" for $35/pp. Hats. pearls, gloves encouraged. If that's your thing... No wifi is available. When I asked about it I was told I that if I sat close to one of the windows (there are few) I might get a cell signal. We were there to wait for some other businesses to open up, and to dodge the rain for a bit, and it was enough.

If you come here looking for the high tea tower it's about $45 and includes some scones and little pastry items with a pot of tea however for $45 you're really not getting much. I found the prices here extremely high for the amount of food that you are getting. I ordered myself a brunch dish with purple cauliflower a slab of smoked tofu and a cauliflower crust however I found the entire dish extremely unflavourful and quite disappointing. Unfortunately this place left a little to desire that day as they didn't have AC so everyone who was there was just boiling the entire time. Couldn't really enjoy the tea experience because it was just so hot. Giving it 3 stars because the decor was beautiful and the servers were kind.

But they had a decent selection of flavors, that were brightly colored (could be good, or could be bad, depending on what they use). We got a box of 8 and tasted a few flavors.

But If I was in the area and I wanted a macron, I would come here again. If we had more time we would have sat in for tea, but we didn't. I would like to try that again with tea and get the whole experience. Parking is street parking. Placed seemed clean. It's small but lovely and cute.
