About
The Vanitea Room bills itself as Ottawa's first opulent salon de thé. The 3-tiered afternoon tea pairs Sloane Tea with warm buttermilk scones (with jam and cream), cucumber sandwiches, quiches, mousse, and tarts. The aesthetic is worth the visit alone — European-meets-Middle-Eastern salon decor that's made it one of the most Instagrammable tea spots in the city.
