About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Quelque Chose offers an afternoon tea service that draws on more than a century of English tradition while adding a French-inspired touch that brings the delicate charm of Europe to Westboro Village. In addition to the classic fare of scones, miniature desserts, and bite-sized sandwiches, our towers feature fresh-baked croissants, fine Parisian tea, and our signature macarons. As well as tea, our guests can enjoy steamy coffee drinks, decadent hot chocolate, and sparkling glasses of Prosecco and mimosas.

The afternoon tea still serves its role as a comforting snack and an elegant event for marking occasions, from birthdays and baby showers to just catching up with friends. With a wide selection of food and beverage, there is something for everyone at afternoon tea - just as the Duchess intended.

We had a wonderful experience at afternoon tea! A staff member called us ahead of time to confirm any dietary restrictions. All the staff were lovely and very accommodating, and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed my scone! We will be back for sure. Thank you!

First time experience at Quelque Chose. Had invited a friend for Afternoon Tea for her birthday. There was only 1 other table occupied by 4 people in the back with us, but it was so noisy at times, we had to stop our conversation or speak louder. Tablecloths, cushions or some other noise absorbing decor should be added. The food was tasty, but the scones & the sandwich bread was starting to dry out. The macarons were soft & delicious. Our server plopped the tray on the table & spoke so fast, we didn’t bother asking her to repeat herself. The tea was hot but not steaming & would have benefitted from cozies to keep it hot. Although our waitress assured us to take our time, she was anxious to present the bill & finish up with us. When she started sweeping the floor near our table, we packed up & left. I was underwhelmed by Quelque Chose & had higher expectations for a cozy Tea presented with china teacups & saucers, high quality napkins, not flimsy paper, & to enjoy warm, attentive service. The overall experience did not measure up to the price, unfortunately.

Scones were incredible, sweets excellent, especially macaroons, sandwiches so so. Nice sandwich fillings, but bread was getting dry so they had either been pre-made and left sitting out in fridge or were not wrapped enough to keep bread fresh. If this was tuned up tea would be top notch.

Great fun for a multi-generational lunch. The window seat was perfect for the six of us.

I took my British husband to have high tea, and he said it was just as delicious as the ones we've had in Portsmouth, UK where he is from. They don't serve clotted cream as they do in England, however the crème fraîche was very nice with the scones. He was pleasantly surprised over the flavored scones. The staff and ambiance were wonderful.

Came with my family for afternoon tea. Quelque Chose has always been good with takeaway sweets so wanted to try something different. The selection of teas and the teas themselves were very good. The food items provided as part of the tea service were very tasty and appropriately portioned. The selection leaned quite heavily towards sweet options, in my opinion; I generally have a sweet tooth and I know that this is the main specialty of the bakery/restaurant, but a bit more balance would make a big difference. The service was very good and so was the overall experience.
