Service was excellent, our reserved table was already set with china and flatwear, and Veronica soon came with the selection of loose leaf teas for our individual tea pots. The food was delicious, we especially liked the ham and cheese toast which held a surprise burst of flavor. The scones were buttery, the compote was flavorful and not too sweet. Overall it was a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine’s Day

This experience overall was amazing! We had no idea it was one whole tea pot PER PERSON, it definitely made for a funny video. It was for a friend's 30th birthday and it was the perfect girls' relaxed night out. We had a couple girls that were late but the server was extremely kind and patient.

My friend and I went for the afternoon tea and it did not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious, our personal favourite was the chicken salad on the croissant! We have tried several of the afternoon teas in YYC and this was one of our favourite!! We will be back for sure.

I recently visited for an afternoon tea with two friends. The atmosphere was lovely, and the fresh sandwiches and treats were enjoyable. However, we encountered significant issues regarding portion sizes and value. We received two trays: one for one person and another for two. The individual tray contained just 2 scones and 2 macarons, while the larger tray offered only 3 scones and 3 macarons for 2 people. This was embarrassing especially since we were paying separately . When I asked for clarification about the portion sizes, the explanation provided was not reasonable or satisfactory. I would recommend that the restaurant clearly communicate any limitations on portion sizes before bookings.

I’ve now done Alforno’s Afternoon Tea twice as it’s great value for money. At only $40/person this was one of the cheaper options in the city & the price didn’t affect quality at all! We were given just enough food, there was a good variety of teas available and the service was good. The only negative was the noise level…but that was no fault of Alforno’s. Would definitely recommend!
