In long We've shopped next door at the market many times, and, even though you can walk down the hall inside and come in here for food, we just haven't timed it right. They're always playing festive, loud music outside, so we certainly knew it was there. We're so happy we finally made it in. The lady up front was so patient with us--helping with our wheelchair, waiting while we agonized over what to order, totally forgiving us when we changed our minds a million times. We weren't low-maintenance today, and she was still smiling warmly the whole time. We checked out tacos and a sope. Red and green salsas, too, plus a dish of more-fiery chili crisps in oil. All the tacos were great. Campechano, chorizo, asada, and birria. Great flavors, fresh toppings, nice chew to the tortillas. The sope was fantastic, particularly the meat and toppings. They have some supermarket beers in the cooler, and plenty of Mexican sodas. We loved everything about this summertime late lunch.

The tea selection is compelling and my choice, the rose congou emperor, was stellar. The sandwhiches and pastries were all quite high quality.

It can be a bit spendy as it starts at CA$109 per person before tax and tip - at least for me I allocated the entire $100 USD dining credit with the Amex fine hotels and resorts benefit on this. Reservations are almost mandatory for weekend and I'm glad I made one just in case, although it was rather risky due to the 48 hour cancellation policy if I fly in the morning of, but it worked out. They're strict on time - I made a 12pm reservation and they refused to seat me even though it was not busy at all at 11am opening and made me wait until exactly 12pm. A bit harsh when I contacted the hotel and made a note to the restaurant for my arrival details. I got the traditional afternoon tea for 1 so just tea and 3 tiers of scones, small bites, and desserts. It was quite nice of them to refill the entire tier of savory small bites even though I only requested 3, so that was a nice touch that somewhat made up the poor first impression. You can request more of certain items for free, just don't abuse the system basically The food with the 1 tier refill was more than enough food for me - the service was decent as they checked up on me during the meal. I nicely asked for the tea gift box that is only reserved for anniversaries and they accommodated, but this will almost unlikely happen in many situations so your mileage may vary. I did wait 20 minutes for the gift box as it wasn't a priority for them, so do what you will to see if it is worth the time (I at least was not in a rush)

It's right in the main tourist area so it was really easy to find. The menu is extensive and has a ton of options so it was hard to pick what to get. I got a chocolate cone with the brownie dip. My husband got a vanilla cone with the praline dip. And my toddler got a cup of chocolate ice cream with the chocolate dip. We all enjoyed what we ordered. It was super rich and delicious. However it was really messy so it was hard to not get it all over yourself and you had to eat it quickly. My only complaint was we ordered 3 different sizes (the smallest one they had and the next two sizes up) and they were all about the same size. For the expensive price, it was a bit frustrating to pay for a small size but get the same size as the smallest one they offer.
