Nicely set up with the finest English dishes and excellent hot teas. A perfect selection of afternoon tea scrummies, calm and peaceful. A love story behind the property told nicely by the servers as you sip. Highly suggest you try this if you're not in the mood for the main garden attraction offered in town! Gorgeous.

The gardens were fantastic! Well maintained with close in trails that give it a very close in…read moresecret garden feel. There is also a trail suitable for wheelchairs and other assistive devices. This is not a really large garden, but very well designed and laid out. The variety of species is fantastic and the flowering blossoms are everywhere. The tea itself is a different story as I'm a bit of a tea snob. There are no menus or choices for sandwiches or type of tea. I found the tea sandwiches to be dry and stale bread. Being a tea snob, I also prefer private seatings instead of 8 strangers at a table all reaching into the same tower of sandwiches for choices you didn't get to make. Non Europeans just don't understand the finer points of tea. This 'European seating' of strangers sharing a table works for western ideas of pubs, not for an afternoon tea. Five stars for the garden. 2 stars for the stale sandwiches and tepid unknown tea with no cozies or leaves strainers or spoons or choices...

I love the Roxy Cinegog, and not just for its awesomely punnish name (it was, until very recently,…read moreowned by Howie Siegel, who's Jewish...GET IT? CINEMA? SYNAGOGUE? CINEGOG? I digress). The Roxy has also employed at least two employees for 10 years. Their popcorn is real, with real butter, and reasonably priced, and delicious. On Tuesdays, you can see a double feature for $2.50! It's a bit broke-down - some of the seats have seen better days, there's a stain/eggshell from some audience jackass that's been high on the wall for ages, and the bathrooms have a distinct camp-latrine smell, but if the Roxy changed much or got all fancy and expensive, I'd be heartbroken. It's a place to watch movies, for movie lovers, and it rules.

We did the afternoon tea at the Fairmont after hearing people say it was a must do in Victoria, BC…read more The cost is pricey but the experience is one of a kind. First, you pick your tea flavor. Each person only gets one tea selection the entire experience, but you get a large teapot. So, we were recommended to each get different flavors for our group to share. Of the finger foods for the tea, we loved the beef sandwich and the biscuits!

Didn't stay at the hotel, but paid a visit to the hotel lounge. Beautiful view, historic building…read moreand excellent service (the host went above and beyond to make sure we got the seating we liked in order to watch a sports game. Thank you for the accommodation.!) Two complaints 1) lounge was understaffed. Between services. there were not enough cleaning, and the couch and the table were greasy and dirty. 2) I didn't enjoy the cocktails. Didn't like the gin & yuzu cocktail (too strong and lacked flavor) or the leechy cocktail (too sweet and heavily syrupy). It was a pity that I tried two out of five signature cocktails, and wasn't happy with any of them and they were pricey.
