I first came to Finch’s Teahouse after browsing at McLeod’s bookstore from the previous block. The teahouse was right around the corner of Pender and Homer and the windows looked cozy with white laced curtains. The doors clinked when I walked into the restaurant. I fell in love with the decor, the vibe and the sunlight that streams through the windows and illuminates the entire room.

Highlights include baguetted sandwiches of brie, pears and avocado, free range egg salad crispy salami, proscuitto and vine tomato salads, chowder soups, and a tempting collection of fresh baked desserts.
