Bacchus Restaurant Afternoon Tea

Bacchus Restaurant Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is a British tradition that involves enjoying a light meal of tea, sandwiches and scones and takes place in the afternoon between 3:30-5pm.

Bacchus Restaurant Afternoon Tea

At Wedgewood Hotel's Bacchus Restaurant, you can experience a lovely Afternoon Tea where you dine on dainty, crustless sandwiches, sweet treats, and scones.

Bacchus Restaurant Afternoon Tea

Top the scones and crumpets with marmalade, butter, clotted cream or jam. We weren't fans of marmalade but the marmalade served was surprisingly delicious.

The sweet and savory food items are beautifully presented on a 3 tier tower and brought to your table after ordering the tea.

You can choose from a selection of black or green tea, some stronger than others. Just ask if you need more hot water. They had some seasonal teas like Nutcracker, Chai and Apple pie.

We enjoyed the savories - the quiche and lobster tart were delicious.

We had an enjoyable experience and we didn't get rushed out. You could pack up the last treats to take with you, finish your tea and enjoy the piano music.

The cozy dining setting and comfy seats made it hard to get up after our Afternoon Tea. For families, we did see one table with kids during our seating, but it may be a better activity to do when kid-free. 

Holiday themed Afternoon Tea at Bacchus Restaurant is on until Mid January. 

Dont forget your snacks!

It's conveniently located by the entrance of Granville island so you can stop here first or on your way off the island at the end of the day. It's also on the way to the playground and water park area.

If you're looking for a kid's birthday, Christmas or a friend's baby shower gift, Kids Market is a great option! It's great to be able to browse several stores under one roof, before deciding which gift is best.

If you're visiting Granville Island with kids, it can be a nice place to stop for them! However, like any kids stores, it can get crowded, so stay close to your kids.
