La Cour des Palmiers se spécialise dans une sélection artisanale de thés en vrac provenant de domaines internationaux, assortie à un menu varié de douceurs et pâtisseries traditionnelles. L'établissement met l'accent sur des techniques d'infusion précises conçues pour souligner les profils aromatiques complexes des variétés de thés verts, noirs et aux plantes. Les clients choisissent parmi une vitrine de gâteaux délicats, de biscuits au beurre et de confiseries saupoudrées de sucre élaborées pour compléter l'amertume des infusions concentrées. Les éléments intérieurs privilégient des matériaux naturels pour offrir un espace fonctionnel dédié à la dégustation de boissons chaudes et de desserts sucrés. Chaque portion maintient une norme de préparation constante qui souligne l'intégrité structurelle des produits boulangers aux côtés de la qualité d'infusion de chaque tasse.
La Cour des Palmiers offre un cadre somptueux et élégant pour l'heure du thé, souvent salué pour son décor magnifique, son atmosphère festive et l'ajout agréable d'un pianiste. De nombreux visiteurs apprécient la sélection fraîche et inventive de bouchées salées, de pâtisseries délicates et de thés de qualité qui créent une expérience raffinée pour les occasions spéciales. Cependant, les avis concernant le service sont mitigés, plusieurs clients exprimant leur frustration face aux longs délais d'attente, au manque d'attention et à un sous-effectif perçu qui ne correspond pas au prix élevé des prestations. Si certains clients bénéficient d'un service exceptionnel et professionnel, d'autres trouvent que la qualité du service est inégale et que les portions sont trop minimes, ce qui laisse certains convives sur leur faim concernant le rapport qualité-prix de l'expérience globale.
Ritz Montreal definitely feels much more than Shangri-La Toronto, with an exceptionally good service attitude. Shangri-La's service attitude in Toronto is like you owe them money.
I went here for afternoon tea & it was wonderful! For 59 Canadian dollars a person, the Ritz-Carlton in Montreal is the perfect place to experience luxury at an affordable price. However, my one tidbit is that it seems as if they tried too hard to be fancy. Afternoon tea can be fancy, but it doesn't mean you need to make the food super complex. Was it bad? Not at all, but I still would've preferred simpler versions of everything & not the deconstructed-type food that people may view as being'fancy'
We are a family of 4 & had the pleasure of spending Valentine's Day at the Palm Court at The Ritz-Carlton, & it was nothing short of magical.
From the moment we were seated, the atmosphere felt luxurious & refined - the perfect setting for a special afternoon tea. The live pianist was absolutely excellent, adding a beautiful touch to the entire experience. The music created such lovely ambiance without ever overpowering our conversations.
As for the drinks - perfection. The matcha latte was hands down the best I've had: smooth, vibrant, & perfectly balanced. The masala chai was rich & comforting with just the right amount of spice, & the London Fog was delicately fragrant & creamy.
The pastries were delicate & beautifully presented, the scones were perfect - tender on the inside with just the right golden exterior - & paired wonderfully with the accompaniments. The savory mise en bouche selections were absolutely delicious, adding a flavorful touch to the traditional tea experience.
Having previously visited the Louis Vuitton Café in New York, I can confidently say that our experience at the Palm Court was just as exceptional!
Between the elegant setting, attentive service & exceptional tea selection, it was a nice way to celebrate Valentine's Day. I would absolutely return for another afternoon tea!

My friend & I wanted to share a joyous & memorable afternoon at The Ritz High Tea.
Such a Horrible experience after we waited a while to get our tray of goodies, the waiter was very awkward
After our meal, a manager came to see us & practically told us we must leave as they needed the table ( very rude) We knew we had at least 2 hours to enjoy our Christmas celebration.
He rudely told us we needed to leave as we were only 2 guests & time allocated for 2 guests was an 1 hour & 1/2.
More confusion when our waitress came to apologize & told us we were allowed to stay 2 hours
Please get your story straight!!
If they take too many reservations it shouldn't affect the customers who are there to enjoying the experience of High Tea at Christmas time.
It left a very bad taste & never expected this from a high class restaurant. Very unprofessional & very disappointing
The manager or whoever he was should get spoken to & shown how to treat people.
We felt confused & could not understand the attitude he was giving us
For such a magical & festive moment- it was totally ruined.
Spending money & having a very rude ending was so discouraging . We left there with such dismay & a feeling of disbelief.!!!
I would reconsider before coming here for high tea. This was quite a disappointment, especially considering the amazing reviews online & the weight that the name carries. The food was good, not great. Same for the tea. It all would have been passable & I don't think I would have bothered writing a review, if it wasn't for the horrible service we got. We were more often than not waiting. Waiting for our order to be taken. Then waiting for tea. Then waiting for water. Then waiting for the bill.
Our experience was excruciatingly slow due to the poor service we received from the waiter. If it was a busy day, I would have easily forgiven him. But on a slow Monday morning, you can do better.
This is not the level of service I expected from the Ritz, certainly not at this price point.
The Afternoon Tea at the Ritz-Carlton Palm court is great. A few seating starting at 11:30.
People staying at the hotel & outside goes there for a good tea & have good time between friends or a romantic date.
Good selection of teas & may champagne could be added.
The place is beautiful, modern & quite.
From the Manager to the servers, all the staff is attentive & professional & they do a great job to let you feel well & welcome.
So this isn't your typical high tea experience. Very different from other Ritz locations & not that traditional. The scones were dry, the pastry just ok, there salty treats were ok too. The setting is cute but it's not intimate enough. I'm a big fan of high tea & I'm not sure this is the IT plave. The service on the other hand was impeccable & the tea choices were great.
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!
L endroit est beau , le service impeccable mais ce n'est est pas le luxe des autres tea room des Hôtels Ritz dans le monde . L assortiment salé/ sucré moyen .
The Ritz-Carlton Tee experience was exceptional! The service was top-notch, the bites were inspired & delicious, the tea was excellent, & the ambiance was elegant & uplifting. Highly recommend!
