Venus Sophia - Victoria

We had a very enjoyable signature afternoon tea on a Sunday at Venus Sophia. I liked this eatery. It was bright and the décor was simple and casual and I felt like I was in someone's home. We had a scone, 3 kinds of little sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberry and more; plenty of food. And each person could choose their own variety of tea. I liked that all the dishes didn't match; very eclectic. There were some bikes as part of the interior design and we are big cyclists. There was music playing and for a brief time a little girl was really engaged in the music and dancing; so cute. She really was "dancing like nobody was watching". $35 was a reasonable price for fresh food from scratch. We have been to plenty of high teas and enjoyed this one a lot. If you like everything to match and enjoy a more formal atmosphere you might not like Venus Sophia. But we loved it and a great location in Chinatown.

Lovely spot in the heart of Chinatown. Thoroughly enjoyed the tea and sweet sampler. First 'tea' experience with our kids - it was fun for all of us. We loved the tea so much we bought tins to bring home. Yum!

I have been to the Venus Sophia Tea Room and Vegetarian Eatey on many occasions. The service is always great and the hostess is very pleasant. I find that their fee for High Tea is very reasonable and that their food has always been great. I would recommend Venus Sophia Tea Room and Vegetarian Eatery to anyone who enjoys a great cup of tea to go along with High Tea , or if you are just in the mood for a great lunch!

Wonderful food! Even if you are not vegetarian (I'm not). Beautiful little place with one of the best food in town. You should definitely try! They have options from the fancy high tea (without the fancy high tea price) to a casual quick bite. You can see the chef working his magic under your eyes. I have been there with my little girls on their birthday, have twice brought out-of-town guests, and business partners. You won't be disappointed. The selection of teas are amazing, and just about everything I ate there is soooo good!

We were in the area and looking for something to do. I searched afternoon tea and this place popped up. After a quick look at their website we called and made a reservation. They were able to accommodate us right away so down we went. We were not disappointed! The tea room is cute with all different chairs and teaware. I had the afternoon blend of tea which was fabulous. So fabulous I bought a big tin to take home! We had the afternoon tea so we had a big three tier tray of sandwiches and goodies. I didn't realize at the time when I booked that the restaurant was vegetarian, but I was happy when I realized that information because I don't like seafood on sandwiches (which have been served at other tea rooms I've visited). My favourites were the marscapone watermelon sandwich and the chocolate cake. The vanilla scone was the die for! Staff were lovely, kind and helpful. Thank you!
