Place to take your wealthy 72-year-old aunt

Rated this place:

It's stuffy enough for the elderly aunt, while being upscale enough and fancy enough to pretend you are royalty.

Poshest place to take your mum

Rated this place:

My Mum is British. She knows tea. We’ve tried Epic at the Royal York and the King Eddy, but the Windsor Arms won for taste and presentation. Elegant with comfy seating and a fireplace, the room seats 42. ‘Ladies who lunch’ book it for bridal and baby showers, or Sex and the City style get-togethers. Dainty sandwiches, pastries and sweets meet fresh baked scones, devon cream and hot tea, served daily at 1 and 3:30pm. Reserve seats well in advance. Cream Tea is $24 per person, Full Tea $30.

Manhattan

Rated this place:

Ok. Well. It's good - a good manhattan, made with Maker's Mark as I like - good full proportions. BUT WAIT! What's that? $26 for a double? Yes, I'm not kidding. Bewarey, manhattanites. I'll remember that bill for a while.

High tea

Rated this place:

I love their fancy sandwiches and they probably have the best scones in Toronto (yum!) It is a great way to spend time with friends/family to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion.

Stiff drink

Rated this place:

The first time I took a sip of the French Martini shaken up by the Windsor Arms Hotel I felt like I had fallen down the rabbit hole. Vanilla vodka, Chambord and pineapple--this little cocktail is sassy and sweet and best enjoyed on the terrace.
