Although I am not exactly the target audience for an English Tea room, I have to say that Butchart far exceeded any expectations! Although we have been to the Gardens many times over the last 4 decades, this is the first time that my wife suggested that we take “High Tea” before our stroll through the amazing gardens... And of course it proved to be a wonderful idea as I relished every bite and sip (we also had the 3-glass “taster” which paired with the food nicely)... I will absolutely be taking tea on our next visit!

We came here for High Tea and were seated in the solarium area, which offered a delightful ambiance, especially on the rainy day. While the savory options were delicious, the desserts fell a bit short. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time overall and enjoyed most of the food. We'll definitely be returning for another visit.

I was hosting two friends from Australia and we all absolutely loved the afternoon tea experience. Booking was straight forward and when I needed to adjust our reservation so to our plans the staff was friendly and accommodating. We sat in the sunroom and it was chilly outside, but the sun streaming in during our team was amazing. Our stroll around the grounds was relaxing and beautiful. My only suggestion was if someone was coming in for the tea, offer a package deal so entry was not the full price. Still a five star experience and one I would recommend to to others

A wonderful setting for any celebration or anytime treat. The high tea features beautifully presented savouries, sandwiches and desserts, plus trifle and their ab fab signature scone, accompanied by generous pots of tea, always hot thanks to the insulated pots.

This place was beautiful!!! It was a great activity to spend the night with for my husband and I’s first wedding anniversary. We spent at least an hour walking through the gardens and probably missed some spots still. The souvenir shop was really big and has great selections of souvenirs to get. We spent about 2 hours there including walking through the gardens, souvenir shop, walking towards and from the parking, and lining up in cars.Dog-friendliness: You can bring pets after certain hours.

We went to celebrate a birthday. They gave us a beautiful table at the window. The food and tea were amazing. They were able to accommodate multiple dietary issues. Highly recommend. The gardens were beautiful.

Beautiful place with very good food. I would recomend it to anyone. The service was good and girls friendly. The kitchen was véry helpful in providing special food for one of our group who has food alergies.

Such a beautiful garden. Came here during the winter and it was still so pretty. I can’t wait to hopefully come back on the summer to see the blooomed flowers

The best gluten free tea of any I've ever had! The server was lovely, checked for allergies, explained what was on the tower and made sure our teapots were filled with hot water regularly. The dining room is beautiful and quiet, which lends itself for conversation and our table had a lovely view. We had such a lovely time!

We had a fantastic high tea at the Butchart Gardens dining room. My husband can't eat gluten (celiac disease) and the chef produced a superb gluten-free tea for him. It had all the same goodies as the wheat version except for one small savory item. Unbelievably good gluten-free bread, pie crust, cakes, and puff pastry!

Absolutely amazing. Brought my daughters for the first time. And my first time since 1994.

Way overpriced, unfriendly staff and worst of it is that using their political influence to divert cruise ship visitors to their facility. Because of this unilateral move, they benefit from each cruise ship more than Victoria does.

We had a lovely high tea. I had gluten free and my husband dairy free. It is a bit on the expensive side. I do appreciate how quiet and pretty the surroundings are. Our server Natalie was just great!

Pilar was our server. She had a great attitude and was warm and hospitable. She definitely made our experience very special by taking photos of and with us and by explaining the food and teas very well. We would very much like to return and we hope that others have a similar experience. You should give Pilar a raise and definitely share this with her and the rest of your staff! Annelise and Jason
