The Afternoon Tea event at The Walper Hotel was a wonderful experience, I had attended alone but I could tell from the energy and laughter at the tables nearby that it’s a perfect opportunity to bring a friend or two, drink some tea and have sweet treats while chatting. But it’s a perfectly enjoyable experience alone, with a book or two. Some of the savoury options I didn’t personally enjoy, but I did try them and I know for others that attended left their platters clean of any crumbs.

This was our first ever time visiting Grafitti Market. Two adults, one “tween”. We enjoyed the table top games and were impressed by both the food and drinks. Worth the drive from Toronto.

Excellent food and service. We had the burrata and arancini for appetizers. We had the gnocchi, chicken Parmesan and seafood fettuccine for mains. We had the tiramisu for dessert. Fresh pasta, huge portions and not overpriced at all. Our server, Paulo was awesome as well. We would definitely recommend!
