When it comes to afternoon tea service in Vancouver, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver's Notch8 has really got game.
Following their epic Canada 150 tea, and previous themed stunners like their Brothers Grimm tea, Notch8 is playing to win with their fun new board game inspired themed tea service.
Bonus: There's a grown-ups only "tipsy" option, too!
Slip into the Private Dining Room of Notch8 where you'll find amidst the library-styled room vintage décor like classic board games, custom trivia cards, and retro prints.
Your tea spread is served on whimsical bookshelf tiers, and includes fresh scones and clotted cream, game-inspired savoury bites (think a "Go Fish" Nicoise sandwich, for example), and a delectable assortment of sweets from the Fairmont's in-house bakeshop--even a white chocolate chess piece to keep you on your game.
Sip on the Fairmont's new Lot 35 Tea, or the house favourite Creamy Earl Grey, or choose from other teas on the list. During Game On Afternoon Tea, guests can opt to order from Notch8's offerings of tea-infused cocktails. Children's tea and dietary modifications are also available.
But if you really want to indulge in a playful night of adult-only tea merriment, their Game Night Tipsy Tea on Fridays is when you can play games like Operation, Monopoly, or Snakes & Ladders, a tier of tea time eats, Lot 35 tea, and two cocktails per person. Of course, this grow up gathering is 19+ only, though your inner kid may come out when you're extracting that funny bone from your red-nosed patient.
Game On Afternoon Tea runs now through November 26, 2017, with sittings Wednesdays through Sundays at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm. Adults $59, Children (ages 12 & under) $29.50. Game Night Tipsy Tea runs Friday evenings from now through November 17, 2017, at 7 pm; $75 per person. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling 604-662-1900, or online.
