About Us

Vintage Fork was first started as a boutique restaurant inside the Rutherford House Museum. Chef Salar Melli fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening his own fine dining restaurant. The restaurant was well known for high tea, and set menu brunch. Covid 19 changed everything almost overnight in March of 2020 when Rutherford House closed, and Vintage Fork had to follow suit.

Then the next part happened by accident.

Customers started to reach out, asking if they could buy their favourite teas that they used to drink at the restaurant. From there the journey unfolded and we became a complete online retailer of loose leaf tea with over 100 flavours of tea.

In the fall of 2022, we opened our storefront inside of a different Historic house – The Barto Residence.

You can shop in store or online for all your favourite teas. We also have an extensive drink menu of hot drinks to go, and additional goodies that go with tea in our shop at 11425 95A Street, Edmonton AB.
