One step away from the Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal, the Paparmane tea room offers its colorful version of English tea time in a gourmet and festive spirit.
Paparmane offers a charming and whimsical afternoon tea experience in Montreal that consistently impresses guests with its beautifully decorated, cozy atmosphere and high level of hospitality. Visitors frequently highlight the personalized and attentive service, as well as the delicious, seasonal selection of sweet and savory treats that are artfully presented. While the experience is often compared favorably to other renowned tea venues, many guests appreciate the unique attention to detail, ranging from kid-friendly accommodations to successful handling of various dietary restrictions. Although some visitors noted that the reservation system can occasionally be complex or that seating can feel close, the majority of patrons leave feeling pampered and eager to return for future seasonal menus and special occasions.
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 !!
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.
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 ?.
Paparmane est vraiment un bel endroit. Le service est impeccable, tout le monde est gentil, poli & souriant. La qualité des produits est superbe & le décor est franchement sublime. Le concept est original & ça vaut le détour.
Si j'avais une petite suggestion, ce serait d'avoir un peu plus de choix au niveau de la nourriture, peut-être quelques options plus santé aussi.
J'y retournerais sans hésiter. Une super expérience, 4 étoiles bien méritées.
On a eu un très bon moment au Paparmane. La décoration est belle, le service & les conseils au top ! Tout était délicieux. Apparemment le menu change à chaque mois alors on a une belle excuse pour revenir. 🤭
Une très belle expérience ! Merci beaucoup !
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!
