Welcome to Floris at VMFA!
Our signature tea service is offered daily from 11:30 am - 2:30pm priced at $45 per guest, not inclusive of tax and service. We kindly require each guest's participation. After 2:30pm we offer our a la carte menu for more casual fare.

    Expensive; food was terrible. Most of the sweet or tart offerings were stale. Compared with "tea' at the Jefferson Hotel Flois isn't even in the game. Will not go back and will not recommend to friends.

    We chose Floris for a midweek celebration with my daughter for her 18th birthday. Perfect outing to enjoy different teas and the delicious treats prior to a visit to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit. We enjoyed trying six different teas - very fun and memorable!

    Stunning dining room with lovely selection of teas. We went prior to an exhibition at the Art Gallery. Sweet and savory themed samples left us on a sugar high!
