From July 3 to August 31, 2025, Shangri-La Toronto invites guests to experience 'A Journey Through Asia: Summer Afternoon Tea,' a limited-time offering in the hotel’s elegant Lobby Lounge. Inspired by the diverse culinary traditions of Shangri-La destinations across Asia, this refined experience blends authentic flavors with contemporary Canadian influences.
The menu features a thoughtfully curated selection of savory and sweet dishes, including "Singaporean kaya toast, Filipino lumpia, Chinese-style salmon crudo, and a Thai mango sticky rice pavlova." Guests can also enjoy a mooncake cheesecake infused with taro and mochi. Complementing these offerings are two freshly baked scones—one uniquely flavored with Thai red curry—served alongside tropical fruit jam and a curated assortment of premium teas.
To elevate the occasion further, all guests are automatically entered into a sweepstake for a "three-city Shangri-La getaway." Additionally, participants receive a 15% Shangri-La Circle food and beverage discount, making this afternoon tea both a gastronomic and rewarding summer experience.
