Experience Toronto’s Shangri La High Tea time. The Shangri La hotel is a luxury hotel located in the heart of Toronto. I have visited Bosk restaurant at the Shangri La hotel many times but just recently had the opportunity to experience the Shangri La High Tea. Although it wasn’t just any high tea, we enjoyed the Madame Clicquot’s Afternoon tea that included a glass of Veuve Clicquot.
I will never say no to a glass of bubbly. This makes the perfect girlfriend escape on a Friday afternoon or weekend. A tower of food goodies along with a glass of Veuve Clicquot Rose Champagne. Sounds like the perfect afternoon.
If you are taking the subway to the Shangri La is a 6-minute walk from Queen Street West on University Avenue. If you are driving, they offer valet parking for $20 for a maximum of 4 hours. There are additional charges if you stay longer.
Madame Clicquot’s Shangri La High Tea
Shangri La High Tea is served in the Lobby Lounge that is located right through the entrance and you will be seated in the lobby with beautiful two-story windows, a fireplace, and beautiful decor. The Madame Clicquot’s Champagne Afternoon Tea is served every Friday to Sunday from 1 pm – 5 pm in the Lobby Lounge.
