About

Cha Do Raku serves as a sanctuary for those interested in the nuances of traditional Japanese tea preparation. The menu centers on a vast selection of high-quality imported leaves, where precise brewing draws out deep, subtle aromatics in every cup. Alongside these tea offerings, the kitchen prepares homemade comfort food rooted in seasonal sensibilities. Savory dishes such as ochazuke anchor the selection, presenting a bowl of rice submerged in fragrant broth that provides a gentle, warming flavor profile. The space maintains an intimate character, keeping the focus entirely on the sensory experience of the tea and food. Every item reflects a steady dedication to authentic flavor balance and traditional presentation, resulting in a distinct environment where the quiet complexity of Japanese ingredients takes precedence.

This tea salon is truly one of Montreal's hidden gems. The moment you step in, you are welcomed with warmth & a sense of calm. The food is delicious & the service is truly one of a kind. The tea options are numerous & well elaborated. I definitely recommend this place to everyone looking for a personal experience to slow down from the everyday rush of life. Shiho is an amazing host & cook. Thank you so much for the amazing experience 💗

This particular tea distributor offers workshops on tea tasting. I hadn't been there before the workshop, but the owner was kind & knowledgeable & she even offered scrumptious homemade treats accompanying the teas we were trying out. It was a great experience & would 100% go there again. *** Ce distributeur de thé offre des ateliers de dégustation de thé. C'était la première fois que j'y allais & la propriétaire nous a servi des désserts faits à la main pour accompagner les thés. Quel délice! :3 J'ai adoré mon expérience & je recommande ce magasin de thé & ses ateliers à 100% pour les curieux.

Super petit salon de thé où l'on se sent transporter dans un petit coin du Japon. Ambiance très détendue mais l'endroit devient très rapidement rempli. Les propriétaires sont super gentils & la sélection de thé est très satisfaisante.

C'est cher mais 100% vaut le prix. Thé de la plus haute qualité, 10g de thé qui donne un gout qui évolue à travers les multiples infusions. Le thé est servi avec des théières faite à la main & les tasses sont en porcelaine peint à la main (ce n'est pas donné!). Tout leur matériel de thé est de très bonne qualité, l'ambiance est très bonne & les places sont limitées. Aussi, la dame nous démontre la meilleure manière d'infuser le thé. Tout cela donne une valeur & une expérience bien meilleure que d'autres maisons de thé. Je vais revenir!

L'endroit est très charmant & les propriétaires adorables. Ici vous retrouverez une grande sélection d'objets du thé travaillés de manière artisanale. Les prix ne sont pas donnés mais ça vaut le coup d'y faire un tour si vous passez sur le Plateau.

I went in to look at tea paraphernalia & was quite surprised to find a tearoom in the back. I couldn't help myself but to try it & was clumsy enough to not take my shoes off before entering the tearoom (there are baskets by the entrance to put your shoes in). The place is maintained by the owner who obviously loves her store, it feels very welcoming & warm. There is a great variety of teas, all served in beautiful ceramics & bowls. Small snacks are available with good vegan options & diverse enough for people with dietary restrictions. Highly recommend.

Please please please come to this place & order food with tea. It is truly amazing how she makes her miso soup with her twist. The delicacy of tea making is the experience you will never got anywhere

A hidden gem, just a block away from the bustling noise of Mont-royal street, with a great atmosphere tea house. Very small, compact, but well organized, like ony the Japanese can do. The owners are kind & welcoming. The variety of tea kinds is great, & there are light snacks that you can consume with your selected tea. Oh, & if you want to bring this piece of beauty to your home, they also sell beautiful tea pots & various tea.
