The Grange — Attraction in Toronto

During my visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), I had the pleasure of experiencing The Grange, thanks to my friend's AGO membership. It was a stroke of luck, as this hidden gem offers a delightful selection of desserts!

I couldn't resist trying the "Dessert" Chocolate Cake, which was recommended by the friendly staff. It was a true indulgence - lovely to look at and even more delicious to savour. The flavours were perfectly balanced, leaving me with a satisfied sweet tooth. The ambiance at The Grange was incredibly comfortable and inviting.

If you appreciate scrumptious desserts in a cozy setting, The Grange is the place to be. It's a haven for those seeking a moment of respite and culinary pleasure during...

Went to do high tea at the Norma Ridly Members lounge.

Seats available right away. Knowledgeable staff. Friendly front desk. You're not seated close to the other guests. Light airy space. Comfy couches with pillows and a coffee table in between for the high tea.

Price per person with tax and tip was about $55 which is cheap compared to other high tea places.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back...
