Should you have arrived in Victoria by E&N Dayliner from Nanaimo or CPR ferry there was one stop that was a must. That's a stop to take High Tea in the Empress Hotel. This folder, or it may be a menu, shows the price of High Tea to be $3.50 per person but does not contain a date. Canadian Pacific no longer owns the hotel but you can still enjoy High Tea there today. The Fairmont Empress now names it "Afternoon Royal Tea" and it will cost you $30 today! Per person, of course. No torn jeans, short shorts, beach wear, flip-flops, jogging pants, or tank tops, reservations are required. Please Note:  For the comfort of those around you, it is requested that cell phones be turned off during Afternoon Tea. This paper item is 4 3/8 x 7 7/16 inches ( 11.1 x 18.9 cm ) in size.
