Xi Shi Lounge

Cafés and tearooms for afternoon tea in Vancouver

For a contemporary take on traditional afternoon tea, Xi Shi Lounge in Vancouver’s five-star Shangri-La Hotel is an original option to try. Large red lanterns hang above low-slung, angular sofas while contemporary patterns add a luxurious feel to the modern space. For $44, tea aficionados will enjoy a range of sandwiches, but the desserts deserve the most attention, with mouth-watering options in flavours that speak to both East and West. Add a glass of sparkling wine – or champagne – to your experience for a true indulgence.
