Absolutely loved my experience at Paparmane Salon de Thé .
Such a beautiful & elegant high tea spot with a true fairytale atmosphere. I went with my daughter & sister, & everything from the décor to the tea presentation felt so magical & relaxing.
The pastries, desserts, & tea selection were delicious, beautifully presented, & perfect for a cozy girls' day out. The ambiance was classy, peaceful.
The staff were welcoming & attentive, which made the experience even more special. Definitely a lovely place in Montreal for high tea, celebrations, or simply treating yourself
Food was very good, good variety. I would have loved real clotted cream for the scones, but they had some kind of mascarpone stuff - still good just not clotted cream. I paid for the premium tea & it was worth it. Decor was beautiful but I would have liked the tea cups & teapots to be cuter, they were kind of ugly. Service was very nice, just took a bit of time for us to get our bill, but otherwise staff was lovely.

Une expérience extraordinaire. Un personnel vraiment attentionné, des mets délicieux, un thé délicat, un décor grandiose. Tout était parfait. J'ai fait beaucoup d'heure du thé & celle-ci restera gravée dans mon coeur. Super rapport qualité prix.
Après avoir essayé plusieurs salons de thé en ville, c'est celui que je préfère! Tout était à point: service, décor, mise en place, menu végé & choix de thé. Merveilleux, surtout une journée de pluie!

very good experience. went with a group of 5. nicely decorated & service was great. portions are really good & filling. all the different type of teas were very flavourful with distinct taste. they have 2 options one is vegetarian & the other is non veg which makes it very easy to chose.
Que dire, du service à la décoration à la nourriture & au thé tout était parfait. Il est vrai que le prix est un peu cher mais l'expérience vaut la peine. Notre serveuse (j'ai oublié votre prénom mais vous aviez une coupe carré & un accent français) était une perle, quel classe & quel beauté. Les miniardises & les bouchées étaient délicieuses. J'ai pris le thé vanilla jazz, je hais le thé, mais celui là je l'ai bu jusqu'à la dernière goutte. J'y retournerai certains à chaque fois que je voudrais faire découvrir une expérience de salon de thé à quelqu'un. Merci pour l'accueil.
Absolutely beautiful high tea spot in Old Port Montreal 💕 The pink, elegant decor feels like a fairytale, & every detail is thoughtfully done. The tea selection is great, & the pastries & sandwiches are both delicious & beautifully presented. Service is warm & attentive. Perfect for a classy & memorable experience!

Très bel accueil & service impeccable. Lieu très bien décoré, où on n'est pas pressé par le temps : une vraie petite bulle. Les choix sont variés & les menus changeants. Le choix de thé est incroyable & l'attention au détail est belle à voir ! Je recommande 100%, une belle idée de cadeau 🎁 Petit bonus pour le menu entier vege, où il n'y a pas de compromis!!!
Decor impeccable - le thème de la st Valentin pour le mois de février était très beau & romantique. High tea était délicieux & le service est excellent!
Endroit magique! Décor & branding impressionnant. Service exceptionnel. Parcontre pour le prix exorbitant, le menu (qualité & quantité ) très décevant. Surtout après avoir fréquenter d'autres salon de thé à Montréal. Endroit parfait pour évènement festif si vous êtes prêt à payer d'avantage pour le look que pour la bouffe. Encore une fois, le service était excellent!

Très belle expérience, magnifique décor original & réconfortant, service courtois, professionnel & agréable, délicieux canapés & magnifique présentation. Belle sélection de thés & tisanes également. Ce n'est pas un endroit où vous mangerez beaucoup, vous ne sortirez pas de là bourré, cette établissement focus sur l'expérience globale & la convivialité.
I went here for my friend's birthday the other week & the place is absolutely beautiful with nice decorations. The staff were attentive, but the price was absolutely astronomical for what we got.
We weren't given the choice between the holiday menu or the regular one.We were told we had to take the holiday one, which was $100.
It came with a glass of juice & at that price, they couldn't even give us the bubbly included?! It was an additional price.
The little appetizer was disgusting, all 5 of us didn't eat it. The rest of the food was expected, but paying $100 was highway robbery for the quantity.
Additionally, we were abruptly brought our bills & jackets without us asking if we were finished. We were there to celebrate a birthday, spend time with friends, not be kicked out.
Le décor est agréable & coloré. Nous étions assis au bar & c'était très confortable (nous sommes une famille de 3 avec une enfant). Le service est professionnel & souriant. La nourriture est bonne ( mais je ne peux pas dire extraordinaire) , les thés sont variés & goûteux. Le menu enfant a été apprécié aussi:). Au final, je recommande cette expérience du tea time !!
J'adore leur tea time experience! Le décor est magnifique & la nourriture excellente. Même si ça semble un petit repas, je sors généralement de la plus que rassasié. Le Battenberg est définitivement mon highlight! Entre filles, c'est un moment parfait pour jaser rire & manger!
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 ?.
