    Harry Potter Inspired Afternoon Tea at Trump Hotel Vancouver

    Published: Sep 9, 2019 · Modified: May 8, 2021 by Mimi · This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Harry potter castle next to the School of Magic afternoon tea set.

    This afternoon I was invited to preview the new Harry Potter inspired School of Magic afternoon tea set at Trump Hotel Vancouver. This Fall-themed tea set was first introduced last year to very enthusiastic guests who were fans of the acclaimed children's book series. Some even brought children with them to experience this magical theme.

    Because I already had an opportunity to taste the tea set last year, I wondered if this year's version would be the same. To my pleasant surprise, the new version of the School of Magic afternoon tea for Fall 2019 features many new treats with only a few recycled elements. That's good news for those guests who already experienced it last year but would like to do so again.

    • Bird's eye view of scones and tea cups.
    • Glass door entrance at Trump hotel Vancouver
    • Gold details on the walls inside Trump champagne Lounge.

    Top left: The scones this time are Philosopher's Scone in red velvet, jelly bean scone and the signature Matcha scone which is served with every new theme.

    Top right: Entrance to the Champagne Lounge from inside the hotel.

    Bottom: The gilded interior of the Trump Champagne Lounge.

    • Harry Potter stencil on a toothpick stuck in a savoury piece.

    The savouries this time include: pretzel & cheese broomstick; British sausage roll; smoked salmon tea sandwich; Guiness pie; Mrs. Sprout's Pasty - a crispy pocket with seasonal vegetables; and Ron's Chicken Leg. The savouries this time are a lot heartier than in previous sets so if you're a small eater like me, you might even have leftovers.

    • Mini butter beer and witches cauldron treats on a 3-tier tea tray.

    The dessert tier is served on this new and very fitting 3-tier display made of wood and stone. Sweet treats include: Butter Bubble Beer - boba pearls, non-alcoholic butter scotch; Deathly Hallows chocolate ganache cake; Harry's Favourite Treacle Tart; Cauldron Mousse; Muggles Book of Magic, Golden Snitch Chocolate Truffle; and Magic Wand.

    The details on these treats are so exquisite and this is where the tea sets at Trump really shine. Their executive pastry chef, Fumiko Moreton, really knows what she's doing in the dessert department. I can personally say that these desserts not only look good, but they also taste delicious. Of special note this time is the purple Ube flavoured mousse cauldron. I don't often see this flavour being used in desserts in Vancouver and this was executed perfectly with the fluffy cake on top. I also appreciated how the Muggles Book of Magic look like it had actual pages. It's a real clever use of baumkuchen "tree-ring" cake.

    Additional treats include the Golden Snitch salted caramel truffle and various School of Magic sugar cookies.

    I enjoyed the new School of Magic afternoon tea set, I would recommend it for those who are fans of the Harry Potter book series. It's also an elegant alternative for those who want a chance to dress up with friends this Halloween season. And if you want to get a bit tipsy, cocktails can be ordered from the bar or a glass of sparkling wine can be added for an additional $15. I think you'll enjoy this new School of Magic Tea Set.

    Until our next tea date.

    XOXO,
    Mimi

      Had this and was kind of disappointed, they changed the snitch to just a gold ball, and no deathly hallows symbol on the chocolate 🙁

        Hi Whitney,
        Oh my, that's too bad. I can understand sometimes, restaurants might run out of certain ingredients. I believe both of them require the same fondant to make that detail. Nevertheless, I will give your feedback to the team. I can see why you would be disappointed. XOXO, Mimi
