Pinecone Cottage Tea House – Royal Botanical Gardens Afternoon Tea

The Royal Botanical Gardens is located at the tip of Lake Ontario in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Four distinct formal gardens are contained on the 2,400 acre nature reserve. We love to explore and enjoy the many historical plant collections and nature trails when we are in the area. The Rock Garden Bistro features a French inspired menu with a garden flair that boasts fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Their kitchen staff works closely with RBG gardeners to incorporate home grown ingredients into the farm-to-table culinary experience. Our April Afternoon Tea Menu is inspired by the items I really love from this restaurant.

A perfect menu to usher in the Spring!
