The Best Afternoon Tea West of Montreal
If you’re searching for the best afternoon tea West of Montreal, you’re in for a delightful surprise.
I recently rediscovered just how special afternoon tea can be when my daughters surprised me with a High Tea birthday celebration at Château Vaudreuil (Villa Elina).
We spent the afternoon on the beautiful lakeside terrace, watching three different weddings take place while enjoying exceptional food, warm service, and stunning views.
The restaurant also offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free afternoon tea with advance reservations.
That unforgettable afternoon inspired me to explore and share my favourite tea rooms across the West of Montreal.
