The Sutton Place Hotel
| 845 Burrard St. Vancouver v6z 2k6, British Columbia 604 682 5511 |
Once your enter the hotel lobby of The Sutton Place
Hotel, you will feel the pure luxury of your surroundings
with the French-European decor and furnishing. Marble
floors, fresh flowers and elegant chandeliers make you
wish that this is what you encounter as everyday living.
We were relieved that we were dressed appropriately for
the elegant tea venue. We were greeted at the elegant
Fleuri Restaurant by the nicely clad hostess, who happ-
ened to also be our server. (I found out later that this
restaurant is the city's best fine dining room for French
Continental cuisine.) We studied the afternoon tea menu
provided to us. Japanese and English tea service are
both available to choose from... however, we chose the traditional English Tea.
The aroma of the freshly brewed Lavender Earl Grey and the Afternoon Blend grazed our nostrils
while our server poured tea in our tea cups. We drew our attention to the traditional finger tea
sandwiches like the cucumber and watercress, smoked salmon pinwheel, black forest ham and
raspberry chicken salad in brioche. Our mouths were watering! Feeling pampered, we took out
time to in enjoying the warm scones with Devonshire cream and fruit preserves. We knew already
that our dinner reservations were only two and half hours away, but it did not stop us from
finishing the last serving of mini French pastries like the financiers, madelines and eclairs. The
whole time our server was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our tea experience immensely.
They served tea daily between 2:30 - 5:00.
