The Old Mill Inn and Spa
Charmingly British, this Tudor-inspired hotel in the west-end of Toronto has an adorable garden terrace that makes afternoon tea in the spring and summer a special treat. But in cooler months, you can sip on Earl Grey and dine on sandies and sweets in the cozy inclosed terrace. This year the hotel is offering a special Centennial Afternoon Tea to celebrate 100 years of the tradition, with a new selection of sweets and savory treats, plus a decorative tea box you get to take home.
