Afternoon Tea inspired by Paul McCartney’s photographs

Step into the world of 1960s rock and roll with a unique afternoon tea experience at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Inspired by the exhibition *Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm*, this culinary event offers a thoughtful, plant-based menu that bridges the gap between British comfort and American classic flavours.

A Taste of the Sixties

Curated to reflect the cultural shifts captured in McCartney’s intimate, behind-the-scenes photographs, the menu features a playful, vegetarian take on iconic dishes. Expect a plant-based Classic Burger that pays homage to the era's diner culture, alongside sweet showstoppers like the vibrant Knickerbocker Glory and aromatic Earl Grey Bonbons. It’s a perfect way to extend your visit to the AGO, turning an afternoon of art appreciation into a full sensory experience.

Why It’s Worth Going

This isn't just tea; it’s a thematic extension of the exhibition itself. Whether you are a die-hard Beatles fan or simply looking for a creative way to spend a Saturday in the heart of the city, this experience offers a warm, artful pause. The AGO’s location on Dundas Street West makes it an ideal starting point for a day exploring the nearby shops and galleries of Chinatown or Kensington Market.
