Tea at the Empress Hotel in Victoria...
 

Wondering if anyone knows how much afternoon tea is at the Empress (in US$$).
I'm looking for their least expensive tea...not sure if it's tea alone or if it comes with sandwiches...but their least expensive is what I'm interested in finding out about.

Hi there. I will not paste the direct url because it is ridiculously long and would mess up the format.
Googling this 'empress tea victoria' took me right to their page. I notice the prices are not quoted, but the booking info is. That hints to me.
Tell us what the price is if you do follow through.

Ah. Here it is on a third party travel company site.

$29 to $46 US per person.

I'm pretty sure there's just one fixed price for the afternoon tea (which comes with scones and tea sandwiches), and I believe it's around $50 CDN per person.

We went there last summer and thot the Empress Tea room too pricey but had a delicious meal in the Bengal Lounge (and great bartending!) There is a teahouse just down the road called Murchies that is nice for a cuppa and also sells a huge assortment of teas.

As far as I know, the Empress has only one type of tea (except last summer, they tell me, when they had a later one with a more savory type of menu).

Price depends on the time of year. I was quoted a price of $38 Can. for late February with seatings from noon to 3:45. In July and August it's $55 Can. (about $47 US) with seatings from noon to 5:15. They say you should reserve 1½ to 2 weeks before in the summer.

mingxa,
We had that Indian buffet in the Bengal Lounge too and thought it was some of the best Indian food we'd ever had. We were there on a Friday night so we had the benefit of a little jazz band.
