$18 vs $120 AFTERNOON TEA FOR TWO @ IKEA & THE FAIRMONT (Hotel Vancouver)

I've been recently watching BuzzFeed's Worth It video series and was inspired to so some value hunting of my own. Coupled with a good opportunity to take mom to an AFTERNOON TEA / HIGH TEA Service, this would make for a fun and unique visit. So, we are off to two places for the Afternoon Tea Service experience at very different places; IKEA and the FAIRMONT HOTEL VANCOUVER. One's very casual and the other is a bit on the fancy side. Oh, the costs are very different as well at a price of $18 vs $120!
A big thank you to the great people at IKEA Richmond (Canada) and the great people at the FAIRMONT Hotel Vancouver for being such good sports and allowing me and mom to do some filming there. Very greatly appreciated and everyone was so welcoming.
So whether you are a tourist visiting or a local exploring the city, I hope this helps in the search for great places to eat and drink.
Happy Dining!

Thanks for sharing your afternoon tea adventures with your viewing audience. I'm sure your mom was delighted. This was a great way of doing a comparison. I would never have thought of IKEA as being a place to have afternoon tea--but you can't beat the price and the service. I've done tea at the Hotel Vancouver a few times--and a "Groupon" can save you a considerable about of money. Unfortunately, after the hotel renovations were completed, the space where they hosted afternoon tea lost all its charm and character. It always felt intimate and inviting and set the stage for an experience that you knew was going to be memorable. This however is no longer the case. It looks like a room in every other hotel trying to be modern. You probably wouldn't even know if you were in Vancouver unless you left the building.

You did both afternoon tea in one day? Kudos to you and your mom being so spontaneous.

Hey SimpleLife D. Oh gosh no! We had a week to recover from each :-) We were noticeably "rounder" afterwards. :-)

The treasure chest looks really nice. By the way, did your mom help clean the condo before? I remember a nice lay taught how to use the washing machine when I was in Vancouver for the first time, lol

LoL, yes Andy :-) I believe that as her. The regular cleaner wasn't able to make it and she stepped in... Great memory!!! :-)

Well Tim, nice you took Mom for the tea experience. Did mom catch the two girls checking you out at the Fairmont? 😃

High Tea is supper. It is not the same as Tea.

Thank you! So many people mix up afternoon tea (the elegant event) with high tea (an early workers supper).

For $120.00 lol I'm glad your mom choose the hotel buffet as her favorite. Food at the hotel looked fancy and that's $120.00 all together I hope. Not $120.00 per person. Thank you to you and your mom for bring us to watch your low cost and high cost eating experience.

Thanks so much wise man! Oh yes, it was $120 for two. I would have been shocked to say the least if didn't like the one at the hotel :-D Actually, I do like the openness and casualness of a not-so-fancy place :-)

@@wiseman4160 yeah, that hotel (Hotel Vancouver) takes up the whole block. (That address is actually the address of the hotel.). Notch 8 and the library area where we had the tea are all inside the hotel. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town. Happy hour is definitely one of the better and cost effective visits🙂
