After the day spa and plant sale, we then headed to a heavenly place; quite literally! The Garden Gate Tea Room is a delightfully charming place where lace and gloves and hats and even angels dwell…
Yeah, @swimmerjoe was pretty cautious at first, sagely noting there were NO men in the Tea Room. And, the flowery tea pots and white table cloths seemed a bit alien to my he-man hubby. Never fear, though, as two other men did bravely venture in (eventually), and guess what? Halfway through the High Tea, @swimmerjoe listed the Tea Room as the trip highlight thus far! Really, he did!
And for just $18 per person, which includes three courses and choice of tea (four if you count the sorbet to cleanse the palate!) this just can’t be beat! So I am officially listing High Tea at the Garden Gate Tea Room as a MUST DO when you visit Mount Dora. (You can stroll in for lunch but you have to make reservations for High Tea, though, so be sure to call ahead.)
