The Drawing Room at the Prince of Wales Hotel

I had such a lovely experience at The Drawing Room. It felt just like playing tea time when I was little, but even better! I was so happy they offered lactose-free options for my friend, making it a perfect afternoon for both of us. A nostalgic and beautiful gem in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

My brother and his partner were in town visiting, so we took the obligatory drive to see Niagara Falls, and some wine tasting in the Niagara region. They asked if I knew of any place that had afternoon tea. I thought Prince of Wales Hotel might, and a quick google search confirmed this. I booked a reservation for three on OpenTable a couple of hours in advance while they were enjoying local Niagara wine at one of the wineries. This was the first time I’ve had Afternoon tea ever, so I didn’t have any particular expectations. The staff member who served us was very kind and polite. She explained the menu to us, as we had some questions. My brother’s partner has a gluten allergy, and although the menu gluten free substitution requires 24 hr noticed, our server went to the kitchen and asked if gluten free was possible the day. She returned and said they could accommodate, and we were able to get gluten-free items just for her. I’m not really a tea person so I’m not a good judge on the quality relative to other teas. The food was good, but not amazing. You are paying for the service, atmosphere and charm of the Prince of Wales’ hotel. The china the tea is served in is delicate and beautiful. I think if you’re a fan of afternoon tea, or with someone who is, it’s worth it. For the casual experience, it’s nice to try once.

My husband and I went to the drawing room for his birthday and we absolutely loved it. Healthy organic teas. The food was very fresh and pastries were delicious. This was something different for us to experience and we loved it. Highly recommend

We visited The Drawing Room Prince of Wales Hotel for the afternoon tea and absolutely loved the experience. Every detail was thoughtfully done, from the elegant presentation to the top-notch quality of the food. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. A wonderful experience that’s absolutely worth the price. We’ll definitely be back with our family to enjoy it again. Highly recommended!

This is located inside a historic hotel. We came here for high tea in the afternoon and it is an amazing experience. The portion is giant for my small tummy that they already prepared boxes for you. The earl grey tea tastes great and the food makes me forget my stress. The atmosphere feels comfortable and nice for a girl's talk in the afternoon. Don't miss to walk around that there are tons of great portrait paintings in the hotel lobby.
