Housing a Sweet Afternoon Treat

Fancy some afternoon tea in this house?


When my friend and I were walking along Hamilton Street in downtown Vancouver, she pointed out a row of heritage houses that I had never noticed before.

She took me into once of them, which is called Patisserie Fur Elise. On the ground floor was a refrigerated showcase with some macarons and by the windows were trinkets, many of them Sanrio items like Hello Kitty mugs and a golden retriever wearing a beret called Pompompurin.

A server asked us if we were interested in afternoon tea, but we declined, as we already had lunch and just finished a refreshing lemonade drink.

She suggested next time we could come try the afternoon tea at C$49 each and includes items like a proscuitto croissant sandwich, pork terrine cone with balsamic vinegar, smoked salmon on brioche, buttermilk scone with an almond struesel, and desserts like panna cotta, lemon yuzu tart, dacquoise and macaron.

We were also advised to make a reservation, as there are only eight seats upstairs where the afternoon tea is served.

Sounds very exclusive!
