Great service! The hostess & server were welcoming & accommodating. The ambiance was so elegant & beautiful. Loved the Christmas-themed decorations 🎄The winter delights classic contained bouchées of saltiness & sweetness.
Starting from the bottom layer (salty), there were the sandwiches & canapés. I really enjoyed the black truffle trompe-l'oeil with pearl onion. The middle layer had sweet & salty scones with a homemade jam (tasted very cinnamon-y) & a light (slightly salty) tasty cream. I found the earl grey white chocolate scone to be too sweet. The top level served a variety of sweet treats. For the choice of tea, there were so many to choose from. I wanted to try so many of them, but I ended opting for The Great Wisdom (white tea with light notes of baked almond). It had a faint flavor with a slight almond aftertaste, I enjoyed it very much! 🍵 I also thought how they served the tea (with the hourglass ) really cute ?.

The interior is beautiful but the food was not tasty at all & you really don't get much for the price unfortunately!

My daughter & I had the most wonderful afternoon tea here while we were visiting Montreal on fall break. The staff was incredibly kind to me & my daughter. The tea room is gorgeous & beautifully decorated. The food was incredible & the tea was fantastic, as well. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience at Paparmane Montreal! As vegetarians, we were thrilled with the variety & taste of the food-it's often hard to find great vegetarian options, but this place exceeded our expectations. The mocktails & cocktails were equally impressive. While it's a bit on the pricier side, every dollar is worth it for the food, drinks, & the beautiful ambiance. The location is fantastic, making it perfect for a special outing. You can check out some photos from our visit on my Instagram: @chitrayuk

We had the most magical time at Paparmane today. My husband & I went to celebrate my birthday. I made a reservation online & let them know at that time that I have celiac disease. The owner of the tearoom personally emailed me a few days later to follow up on my need for a gluten free menu which I thought was amazing.
When we walked in today I was thrilled with how whimsical the atmosphere was. The staff that met us at the door was very friendly & instantly asked us which member of our party had celiac disease. She reassured me the staff was very knowledgeable & trained in celiac awareness. This made me feel very comfortable.
Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable & very attentive. He took the time to explain the menus & how food allergies are easily accommodated.
Once the food arrived the presentation was beautiful & thoughtfully arranged. The taste was unbelievable! Having celiac disease finding gluten free food that tastes wonderful is very hard to come by. The food here made me incredibly happy with every bite. I savoured every morsel! I cannot express how delicious everything was. My husband had the vegetarian option & loved every bite as well.
I cannot say enough about how much we loved our experience here. I was also delighted that I was able to purchase some loose leaf tea to bring hone with me as well.
I cannot wait to return again to Paparmane for another beautiful & magical experience in the future!

The décor was beautiful, & the food & tea were tasty; however, the service was disappointing. The host was great, but our server was not. She was inattentive-although we were a party of four, our table was set with only three teacups. We had to ask her to bring another cup.
Additionally, she asked if we wanted milk, & we said yes, but then she went to another table & disappeared. We asked her again. We never received the milk. Eventually, we had to ask one of her colleagues, who kindly brought it for us.
It was her colleague who took the time to explain what was brought to us, & offered to take our family photo. Not our server.
Our server brought us the debit machine very quickly.
In the future, we would choose a higher-end hotel for high tea, as the servers there are better trained & the service is more professional.

Pros
-beautiful decor
-lots of menu options for dietary needs
-relaxing environment
-reasonable pricing for afternoon tea
Room for improvement
-the food has a lot of room for improvements. The scones are too dry. The dessert was decent. The strawberry one was not very good.
The savory portion needs the most work. The brie cheese & bread was very
The herbal teas were not very good. Tried two versions & they were both very sour.

Really beautiful tea house. The dishes are pretty good as well & they have a decent selection of teas. They do sweet & savory options too. Decent value as well.
Victoria
I would say this place is all about experience & my experience was enjoyable. Cute tea house in Old Montreal. Pleasant stylish atmosphere, beautiful colourful eye-catching decorations. Entices you to take pictures of every detail.
The food was delicious but in my opinion it was too much for one person. I would have liked more vegetables or light food in the set.

Great tea place. Very classy & beautiful. Perfect place for a first date btw.
Luis
My friends & I celebrated my birthday at Paparmane, & it was such a magical experience! The beautiful rococo decor set the perfect atmosphere, & the tea selection was absolutely incredible - so many unique & flavorful blends to choose from. The tiered platters were a highlight for all of us, with delicious scones, sandwiches, & pastries that we couldn't get enough of. The staff were so welcoming & made the day even more special. We loved every moment & can't wait to be back for another unforgettable afternoon

Beautiful "Alice in Wonderland-ish" experience. Delicious bites (incl vegan options) of high tea delights served on beautiful 3-tier service trays. Prix fix at $60. Vegan options. Great selection of teas served in your own pot. Service is attentive, & the decor is delightfully fanciful. A real treat. Great for a special occasion. Practically no waiting room, so bundle up if you're outside. (Went in Jan.) & it was a bit loud to hear around our table of 4.

This is truly a gem! I highly recommend this place simply because this is the real tea lunch experience like in the UK. Classic, great service, amazing food, great menu & cosy ambiance. This gorgeous tea room makes you feel like in a very sophisticated old room of a beautiful Chateau. The kid menu is on point with the tea salon experience & the little touch for them was noticed & appreciated by my 8 years old daughter. She is telling all her friends about this experience & recommends it to anyone. As for the adult, i highly recommend this place for a great experience & a cozy fun time with friends &/or family. Let's not forget this place after Christmas as this is a gem that needs to stay in Montreal. Tea time is any day of the year. This will for sure become my go to place to have nice memories & discussions with my daughter.

Very cozy & beautiful place with a special atmosphere. Wonderful service & drinks. I will definitely come again to try desserts.

This was a treat for my daughter's birthday. Overall, it's a nice place for a special occasion. The interior is beautiful! The service in general was good except of the fact that we had to wait to be seated for more than 15mins. I made a reservation a week in advance for 3pm, we came in exactly on time. There were people who came in after us & who were seated right away, but it was almost 15mins before we got any attention from one of the staff, & then we had to wait for another 5 mins to be seated. I can't say the food was amazing like many comments suggest here. The flavours were good but I feel some of the canapés, offered, should be served warm ( latkes with pulled beef & sandwich with cheese & fennel), the scones were also too hard. As to atmosphere, I agree with my daughter, some quiet music would be nice.
