Vimont

Portuguese Grill Pastries

Review Summary

Across the reviews, Pâtisserie Lajeunesse is seen as a place with both strong highs and some disappointments, with pastries praised, especially the natas, and the chicken noted as flavorful with a sauce that pleases some customers, while others call the food mediocre and point out dry spots in the chicken and inconsistent potatoes. The service is described as inconsistent, ranging from friendly and helpful with the new owner to less favorable experiences on other visits. A few comments highlight the bread as excellent and the overall atmosphere as nice, making it worth a visit for the sweets, even if the main courses vary. The menu changes and price increases are mentioned, including a debate over salad choices and a shift away from a Greek style salad toward a cabbage slaw, which disappointed some longtime patrons. Overall impressions vary widely, with some diners declaring the place excellent and others warning of inconsistent quality that can affect return visits, but the natas remain a standout that draws people back.View restaurant profile

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Review Summary

Reviews describe Lady Porcelaine as an immersive, whimsical tea house that feels like stepping into a pastel porcelain world, with an elaborate staff-led experience, charming dress-up accessories, and a photo-friendly environment. The service is repeatedly praised for warmth, attentiveness, and personalized touches, from selecting a teacup to coordinating moments for birthdays, and the teas and locally sourced bites are frequently described as delicious. The atmosphere is celebrated as magical, with a unique concept and decor that many say elevates afternoon tea into an event worth cherishing. At the same time, some guests feel the experience can be costly and overly performative, noting forced photo rituals, external sourcing of items, and crowds that can make the room loud. A few reviewers point out that while the spectacle shines, the value can vary and the overall experience may be more about atmosphere and storytelling than a standard meal. Taken together, Lady Porcelaine emerges as a highly distinctive destination in the high tea scene, delivering a memorable, storybook experience that many guests want to revisit.View restaurant profile
