Review Summary

Reviews of La Cour des Palmiers describe an elegant, chic setting with a refined atmosphere and a memorable piano ambience that enhances afternoon or high tea; the tea and pastries are frequently praised, and cocktails are a highlight for many guests thanks to flavor and presentation, while food quality of savory items is often described as decent but not exceptional and prices are considered steep. Service is a major variable, ranging from attentive and friendly to slow and inconsistent, with delays in greeting, water, taking orders, tea delivery, or the bill that can sour the experience even when other aspects shine. Space can feel intimate or tight, seating arrangements sometimes noted as compact, though decor is repeatedly cited as beautiful and the overall vibe as special for celebrations. Overall, the venue draws visitors for ambiance and tea rituals, with many planning returns, while some visits emphasize value and pacing as areas for improvement.

the food & cocktails was delicious & the host desk was lovely, the only glaring issue was that the service was terrible. we weren't greeted or given waters for around ten minutes, our orders (on the set menu) took another fifteen to twenty. our cocktails came out relatively fast but the biggest issue is our food came out before our tea, & the tea came out at two separate intervals. we asked for our leftovers to go & they upcharged us for the loose leaf tea that they included without us asking, but at that point the service had been such a low point i just sucked it up & paid it. the service did improve a little bit after i pulled the manager aside halfway through but it already soured our experience. for the price you're paying, the service is genuinely abysmal.

Délicieuse soupe à l'oignon & très bon cocktail sans alcool. Ça été un peu long pour se faire servir au début, mais le service était excellent par la suite.

The Palm Court Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton Montreal, in partnership with Moët & Chandon, is pure elegance. The cocktails are as stunning as they are delicious-crafted with precision & beautifully presented. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable, making every visit a seamless & luxurious experience. A must-visit for those who appreciate fine drinks & impeccable service!

Dropped by palm court for some drinks after desserts at maison boulud on a Saturday evening. The drinks & the service here were awesome. Their martinis were great. Think I'm into martinis now. Was definitely on the tipsy side by the time we were leaving. The bar will most likely have whatever cocktail you're thinking of. Pretty vibe. Good spot for a date or a good talk while sipping on cocktails.

Nous avons atterri à la cours des palmiers par défaut car la Maison Boulud était fermée ! Notre visite c'est passer en deux temps. En premier temps pour des cocktails sans alcool plus une entrée & un repas ! (1er journée) Durant notre délicieux repas nous avons découvert qu'il y avais une expérience thé,qui nous as intrigué donc nous avons décidé de revenir le lendemain pour l'essayer . La deuxième journée le service étais tout aussi impeccable, j'ai rarement eu le plaisir de côtoyer du personnel aussi prestigieux & professionnel.Le serveur blond avec les cheveux long (nous avons oublié de lui demander son nom ) est vraiment très serviable est fait des très bons cocktails.Nous allons revenir que pour le revoir car il a un très bon humour,une vrai pépite. Les plats offert sont excellents,les thés WOW magnifique,les accompagnement pour thé sont frais & délicieux,l'endroit est as tomber par terre. Rapport qualité prix , j'étais vraiment surprise à quel point ce n'étais pas cher ! JE RECOMMANDE

C'est un 3 étoiles pour moi pour ce restaurant pourtant si beau. La nourriture est vraiment bonne…. Même si mon samoussa était sur une crème (ou une mousse) trop salée. Par contre le service est EXTRÊMEMENT LONG. Je crois sans exagération que c'est le service le plus long que j'ai vu dans un restaurant. Il y avait du monde mais des tables étaient quand même vides & le personnel ne courait pas partout comme des "poules pas de tête" donc je veux croire qu'il y a matière à amélioration. On est arrivés la bas à 20h25 on a quitté le restau à 23h moins. Il a fallu attendre 30mn pour qu'on prenne nos commandes. Un autre 30 mn pour recevoir les entrées (une salade cesar & un samoussa) & un autre 45mn APRÈS avoir terminé les entrées pour avoir les plats principaux (des pâtes & un ongle de boeuf). Mon mari a terminé son assiette mais moi j'ai bu tellement de cocktail entre les deux que je n'avais plus faim quand le plat est arrivé. On y était pour le soir de Noël & je peux vous dire que c'était très ordinaire comme expérience malheureusement. Par contre je dois saluer le personnel qui a quand même été très chaleureux au travers de toute l'expérience. Est-ce que j'y retournerai? Pour une lenteur de service pareil c'est sûr que non.

We went here to kick off our honeymoon, & it was a lovely experience for a special occasion. Service was phenomenal & attentive without rushing. The ambiance is also very nice, & everything feels upscale. I loved the scones & all the savory options. Desserts were also pretty good (I'm not as much of a dessert lover so I preferred the sandwiches). The tea cocktails were the highlight- both the chai espresso martini & jasmine mimosa were really unique & delicious. Most afternoon teas where I live are quite pricey so honestly this one was pretty affordable for the experience, I think, but I'm not familiar with local pricing.

Lovely place to stop in for a cocktail. I ended up also ordering food & the Crab Caesar was such a unique dish I've never had before. Staff was friendly, service was fast & the quality of the drinks were amazing.
