It's time to put on your fanciest gloves and largest hat, because a new afternoon tea just launched in Toronto, and it's fit for a queen.

Joni, an upscale restaurant in Park Hyatt that recently opened in 2021, is now offering luxury afternoon tea in its vibrant dining room. The experience is available every Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and you'll want to bring your appetite.

This isn't your traditional afternoon tea; the venue has put a unique twist on the service by bringing out one course at a time so "guests can bond and share the unique tasting journey."

The experience includes a tasting menu filled with sweet and savoury treats alongside sommelier-selected teas from Sloane Tea. You can choose between just sweet, savoury, or a combination of both depending on what your preferences are.

The savoury menu includes maple candied trout, quiche, and a croque monsieur. If sugar-filled treats are more your style, you can indulge in scones, an avocado coffee tart, yogurt white chocolate cheesecake, rosewater marshmallows, and more from the sweet menu.

There are three different packages you can choose from: Pastry at the Park - $128 for two, Tea at the Park - $188 for two, and Indulgence at the Park - $588 for two.*

Reservations for this luxurious new experience are available online, and if you're looking for a reason to treat yourself, this might be it!
