There are a number of places to enjoy afternoon tea around Victoria B.C. but the Dining Room at Butchart Gardens is an ideal setting. It is in the former Butchart family residence.
On the way into the residence you pass the private garden of Mrs. Butchart. One of the two dining rooms looks onto this beautiful, tranquil spot.
Both dining rooms are lovely. This is the larger of the two.
Tea for two. Everything was very fresh and delicious. And who would guess that the cucumber sandwich would be DH’s favorite?
I remember visiting Butchart Gardens but must have missed the dining room – I was young at the time so less inclined to sitting and enjoying.
One must go for high tea in Victoria!
What a lovely place to have tea. The private garden is beautiful.
A beautiful place, as you’d expect. I’d love to see it for myself.
