L'Opera Patisserie

Their $55 high tea set is the best high tea you can get in Vancouver! It's pricey but so worth it as you can taste the effort that goes into every single item. They always have super unique ingredients like octopus, lobster, scallop, escargot...etc. Make sure to call ahead and book! Best money you'll ever spend.

Service can be a little slow at times but the people working are generally alone and hustling. The pastries are always amazing.

Came here for 1 year anniversary with the GF.The menu was excellent. This is my 3rd HighTea and by far the best. Enjoyed the Lamb. Only things I thought could use more work, the oysters could be crispy. Everything else was very good.

This is a great little tea shop with delectable pastries. I never miss it when I visit Vancouver!

I got here rather late so they sold out most items. I got their butter croissant and I would say it's the most flakey and buttery one I had so far in Richmond.

The food was delicious. The server was great. When I told them I had a nut allergy, instead of giving me a nut-free platter, as most tea places do, they modified my food slightly to remove the nut parts so that I could still enjoy the original dishes. I’m very happy with the food and service!

The place is so cramped, wonder how people enjoy the high tea there. The cakes are very sweet too.

I was in Vancouver for work and got a few hours free. Heard about this place from a friend and decided to check it out. Called in advance but no answer. Figured I gave it a go anyway. Showed up and found out they are closed for a month. Could have save me a trip if they left a message on their phone greeting message. Way to be considered about their customers. No indication in anywhere online of their holidays hours neither. Very bad business practice.

One of the best Hi tea in Vancouver.

Beautifully little patisserie. Amazing desserts but hands down, the fruit danish is literally the best thing I've ever eaten. ever. They have high tea as well which looks delicious but I haven't had it yet.

I rarely eat desserts and pastry, but this place is awesome and I can’t resist their food!

Cute little French cafe hidden in Richmond. We had the mango croissant, the sweetness and crispness dance within my mouth, what a perfect combination. It's a great place to come with your date and enjoy an afternoon tea. If you drive here, there's a free attached covered parking behind the cafe.

My go to high tea place - the food is amazing, and I always know I'll be satisfied at the end. Probably best bang for your buck when it comes to price and quality for high tea in Vancouver?Food looks adorable and the flavours are well balanced! It's a small establishment, and the staff work really hard, so if you go for high tea call ahead and be a little patient. It's good for small groups of chatty people :)

Tasty pastries, but is a small space with very limited parking.

Best croissants ever!!! You won’t be disappointed! I’m sure everything’s amazing, but I’ve only allowed myself to tried the croissants lol.

Back for High Tea again to celebrate a friend’s birthday and it was absolutely perfect as always. This year’s Winter menu was delicious. Every time I see their menu it blows my mind what they can do. I challenge anyone to find such a perfectly prepared lamb lollipop at any other High Tea menu. The High Tea experience is basically a luxurious multi-course tasting menu. The atmosphere is fantastic, from the decor to the table setting all super adorable. Best High Tea experience in Vancouver.

Their cheese croissant, duck pot pie, macaroons, and fruit danish(the mango one) are so good! Each macaroon is 2 dollars..yes not cheap but it's worth it because the flavors are really there and it's not too sweet, each flavor lives up to its ingredients used. Service is a bit slow since they mostly only have one server, but it's worth the wait. Make sure to call before you head there as most of their items sell fast and they only bake one or two batches per day!

So good. Don't go too hungry though.

This cafe welcomes you in a tacky or poorly decorated environment. Tables are too crammed from each other.Service is mediocre with one person only at the cashier who is not even courteous. While the choice of tea is large, and the quality is superior the pastries are truly disappointing. In case you were wondering this is NOT France. Items are overpriced, and they taste like industrially prepared pastry item. If you fancy a european afternoon high tea or Viennese hot chocolate, go elsewhere. Not recommended at all.

best pastry shop in town. they use the best ingredient you can taste. owner is a lovely little girl who laughs really loud and cheerful.

this place literally saved my day. the only cake place who sells cake after long day at work, good looking cakes, good taste, perfect size cakes and fancy. i dislike the asian cakes as they do not look high class for a gift. the staff was kind enough to prep the Paris cake in a very nice box with a ribbon, candle and card. thank you for being open on a weekday after 5pm.

I bought a Montblace cake around 6pm and ate it around 10pm. This cake seems not fresh make on the day coz the bottom part of the cookie base, and the center, supposed to be crunchy pastry coated with Chocolate, became very hard.... like a stone.... i need a knife to cut it in small pieces ...... after I cut it... the whole thing became so messy ....... $8 for a cake like this not worth it......

If you're looking for high tea service in Richmond, this is one of the few choices outside of Vancouver and it's not bad. You need to tell them beforehand so they can prepare for you. Had the matcha opera cake, the matcha flavor was very strong. I'd be interested to try their macarons and other desserts next time.

Excellent dessert. Pricy but worth it. Very limited seating and parking.

Staff was extremely rude and has no common sense to what is proper customer service. I have visited a couple times for afternoon tea or just snacks, the staff was either rude, or new / clueless.

Have been coming here for a couple of times. A little too sweet for me but overall it’s a great place.

Great high tea manue .. lots of choices ... there is public pay parking lot at the back .. friendly service ..

Cute place with beautiful-looking pastries and cakes. I have only tried their croissants and loved them. I especially enjoyed the matcha croissant and salted egg yolk croissant. However:1. Get take-out. Only 1 staff working when I went. She juggled between cashier, waitress, server....and got a couple of our (simple) orders wrong. 2. Croissants come in different sizes and shapes..fairly inconsistent; point to the one you want when ordering.

This place has it's own characteristic, just like a small cafe in Paris. It's not new and modern but it has a strong French vibe. Their cakes are excellent, many layers of taste and look very pretty!We opt to dine in and we enjoyed every bit of the cake. However, the lady at the cashier forgot to bring us water (hence, 1 star deducted).Saw many people coming in and out to buy macaroons, but I am never a fan of macaroons so I didn't try

Such a cute little space hiding between all those big buildings/hotels. Hard to notice bit once you find it you will get addicted. It’s just perfect for a Sunday brunch with the ladies or for a cute little old school style date. Menu has variety of options for everyone. You can definitely find vegetarian,vegan and GF options. Decor is decent. Definitely recommend making a reservation cuz they get booked so quickly. Enjoy your visit.

Nice cozy little tea place, very friendly service. Seems like it's family run. Because the menu items are so good, this place is quite polular and can be quite busy.Strongly recommend making a reservation, the place is TINY and doesn't seat many. Definitely worth it though. Would definitely come back :)

I live just a block away and I never had a chance to try the High Tea here till my girlfriend celebrated my birthday here. It was a very wonderful experience with a nice surprise of the variety of high tea treats. We had two mini appetizers, then tea and the "tower" with three layers of mini savory and sweet treats, enjoying from bottom up. And then, we had a mini ice-cream. I LOVE it so much. I am already planning my next two visits.

My first time at this small pastry restaurant, recommended by others. It’s small - half a dozen or so small tables. There was a display of sweet pastries which we by-passed, going straight to the several types of croissants. Of course, we had heard of the salted duck egg yolk one. It was delicious, flaky, crunchy and oozing of egg yolk. My favourite, though, was the masago croissant. It had just the right amount of fish roe. I had the Mediterranean Rooibos tea with mine. I checked out the high tea menu and will definitely return.

small shop, excellent selections, and great atmosphere. Free parking aat the back that is shared with the Sheraton

Does it look like this statue is trying to take a selfie?

Cute shop, nice place to come for some tea and desserts. Good service. The place itself I s on the smaller side though and can be difficult finding a place to sit as there is limited space. Only thing that I wasn’t pleased about is you must use cash for purchases under $50

I wouldn't go as far as claiming this the best afternoon tea in Vancouver, but it is very good, and far exceeded my expectations. Beautifully decorated, this place is cozy with limited seating. Tea selection is decent, though the tea themselves are a little light on strength and flavour. Food is delightfully light and delicious. Not heavy or generous in terms of serving size, but packs a punch with flavour and creativity. Reservation is recommended.

A shop one could definitely miss tucked between commercial buildings this small, but quaint bakery packs some great flavour and items. We had a chocolate Paris which at least from what I could tell was a chocolate cake atop of a run soaked crust. The texture was smooth and rich, like a triple chocolate cake, but not as dense. The rum crust and the brings up the cake so it floats a little higher. I would definitely come back to try other desserts! The dessert size may look small, and priced around 8-10 dollars it may look expensive, it is exquisite and one is good enough to satiate dessert desires. It is one of those where when one knows half is probably good enough, but letting the dessert spoil is unacceptable. Take one for the team! :)

Feel like you’re in Pairs. Cute & small cafe, make sure you come early for various choices.

highly recommend their afternoon tea and strawberry cake，for afternoon tea need to reserve at least one day in advance

Came here last summer, in a nutshell- food is decent (great presentation, mediocre in taste)- price is fair - service is okayThe food presentation is better than most hightea places in my opinion, the chef put quite amount of thought into each dish (from the edible spoon, ice ring, for the seafood, flamingo / swan puff...).The dining environment is great, my girlfriend enjoyed the overall dining experience, this place worth the second time visit and see what else seasonal menu is available.

Taste is good best croissant ever~But Americno coffee is so bad even coffee machine never clend and the shop not clean ether

Fabulous little place for a coffee and dessert. Small selection of goods but all are nicely balanced and not too sweet or overpowering. Definitely a good stop if you're in the neighborhood and on foot. Will be going back soon for more!

We came here with a group of 6 for high tea and had a wonderful time!The tea, food, and service were all exceptional, and the price was very reasonable at just $55 USD per person (after tax and tip). The food was not traditional, and was more of an Asian/British fusion, which we loved but might not be everyone's cup of tea.We had a mix of people who had and hadn't done high tea before and everyone was impressed and left happy.

I must say I am impressed by quality of desserts and tea!!! Totally recommend to anyone who is into sophisticated or just very tasty!!!

A great place for afternoon tea along with an organic coffee or tea. The pastries are very tasty made with real natural ingredients and handmade everyday. I highly recommend the high tea and a pot of tea (earl grey is my favorite ).

4.5 Very small place but nice decor and porcelain tea cups. Great coffee n desserts. Good for high tea. Not cheap though but worth it. $8-10 / desert. Tried New York n Paris cake. Both excellent.

Mind blowing crossings and tasty cakes. Great coffee too

Very impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. Every bite was delicious and will definitely be back for me. The host was so lovely and and make our experience even more memorable. Highly recommend and will come back for their spring menu!
