Since 2016
Where it began
The Vanitea Room opened its doors in Centretown in the spring of 2016, founded by Hind Mubarak with a simple wish: to create a tea salon that felt like stepping into another world. A self-proclaimed tea salon & European-style eatery, it quickly became one of Ottawa’s most beloved spots for afternoon tea.
The room itself does half the storytelling — a wall of hand-painted blooms, antique gilt mirrors, tufted velvet and chandeliers that catch the candlelight. It is intimate, a touch theatrical, and entirely its own.
