Came here for my anniversary and had the Signature Afternoon Tea. It was so wonderful! We reserved online and requested to sit on the patio, if possible. The workers here are so friendly and gave us their favorite seat outside when it was ready. They offer iced versions with sweeteners for some tea options so we decided to try it on this beautifully warm day. We had so much fun trying all the different pastries, sandwiches, and scones, along with the three spreads that they provide. The food is quite filling and it took us the whole seating time to finish our plates. We are definitely interested in coming back and trying their other menu items.

I throughly enjoyed my experience here. We ordered a coffee and mimosa to start. The service was quick and efficient. I couldn’t decide between the Mushroom Benedict and the Salmon so they offered to make one egg of each. (That really went above and beyond customer service wise for me). The Benedict was delicious and the eggs were perfectly runny. I enjoyed the side salad and the potatoes were some of the most delicious I have had. Atmosphere was also cute. French toast was also very enjoyable.

Enjoying afternoon tea at this restaurant was a unique and interesting experience. As my last stop on my visit to Elora town, myself and my fellow traveler enjoyed the afternoon tea before leaving the place. The afternoon tea meal was delicately presented and very tasty. Although the waitress was sometimes unable to respond to our needs in a timely manner as she had to take care of other guests, it just created an opportunity for me and my fellow travelers to chat. All in all, the dining experience here was truly memorable and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a similar exquisite afternoon tea experience.

The Wild Tart is a hidden gem that provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed brunch. Our meal began with a warm, welcoming vibe that immediately made us feel at home. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and a slice of quiche, both of which were delicious and expertly prepared. The Eggs Benedict featured perfectly poached eggs topped with a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce that was savory and flavorful. The ham was tender and complemented the eggs beautifully, while the sauce tied everything together, making each bite a delight. The quiche was equally satisfying, with a golden, flaky crust and a flavorful filling that was both light and rich. The quiche was topped with a tangy tomato chutney that added a burst of freshness. Accompanying both dishes were crispy, golden-brown potatoes, seasoned just right, adding a satisfying crunch to the meal. The fresh, crisp salad, garnished with pickled onions, provided a refreshing contrast to the heartier elements of the meal. The tea was a standout as well, offering a warm and aromatic experience that was the perfect complement to our meal. We chose to sit on the back patio, which was charming and peaceful—a true oasis that enhanced the entire experience. The Wild Tart is not just about great food; it’s about the entire experience.

This place just exceed all expectations! The restaurant is beautiful, the staff extremely friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. A must visit if you are in Elora. We ordered the brioche french toast without the bacon, the server was kind enough to substitute with sourdough bread and condiments instead and also an open faced sandwich, Croque Monsier, again asking to remove bacon which they happily accommodated. Both dishes were just perfect! You can tell they are using quality ingredients in everything they make. Great portion sizes, high quality, fantastic presentation. Also ordered verbena tea which is super cool as it changes color with lemon and also is very calming and refreshing! In total the bill came out to 50 something plus tip.

I went for my mother’s bday and thoroughly enjoyed our delicious afternoon tea experience. We had the Niagara tea which was very sweet and the caramel tea (my mother loved one and I loved the other). It was more than enough food as we got the savoury experience - so I would highly recommend that menu item! The tea and the service was exceptional! I will be back with her again

A restaurant with a nice atmosphere. They offer high tea, which is something I'd like to come back to try. I saw a lot of tasty looking treats on other patron's tables. The eggs benny was quite good. Though the English muffin was a bit dense and one of my poached eggs was broken when served to me. But the kale and squash salad was amazing. Would order it again for sure. The pine nuts were a nice touch - I believe I tasted a hint of cumin, which went well with the squash in the salad. The brownie was enjoyable.

Excellent experience. We had the eggs Benedict and wild tart breakfast. Both were delicious. The only thing is I would have preferred more seasoning on the Benedict as it was a bit bland. Service was great but could be inattentive. Overall, will be back!
