Speaking of Canadian fall color, almost exactly two years ago I had the chance to stay at Victoria’s Empress Hotel, and see its climbing ivy in all its autumn glory. Both then and just recently, when the Tailor and I visited Victoria together, a major highlight of the visit was the Empress’s world-famous High Tea.
If dainty delicacies aren’t your thing, or you’d rather chug a thermos of coffee than sip tea out of bone china—well, I’d suggest spending your afternoon elsewhere. But for the Tailor and me, there was nothing cozier.
(And besides, the curry sandwiches are to die for.)

these watercolors are perfectly lovely! we did high tea at the empress in summer 2012 and had a great time. i was impressed that they had a fully vegan (and fully delicious) option for the snacks.
Wonderful sketches!! I agree, High Tea at the Empress is not to be missed. My husband and I stayed there 3 years ago.
Agreed! It is a lovely and very civilized thing to do and the ambiance of the Empress is the best!
If loving dainty tea delicacies is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
