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 magical and immersive tea experience that many guests describe as a fairytale escape. The restaurant is widely praised for its whimsical, impeccably decorated interior and its thoughtful attention to detail, which creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for various celebrations or relaxing outings. Visitors consistently highlight the high quality of the seasonal menus, noting that the beautifully presented, flavourful bites and extensive selection of teas provide a generous and satisfying meal. The staff receives frequent commendations for their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness, particularly regarding their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions. While the experience is generally considered a highlight of the Old Port, guests appreciate the creative variety and the opportunity to purchase tea to take home, making it a highly recommended destination that encourages repeat visits.
C'était ma première visite dans un salon de thé du genre. Étant une grande fan des restos chez Janine & chez Régine, je savais que je n'allais pas être déçue. Le service était IMPECCABLE, & que dire de la déco whimsy à souhait! La sélection de thés & le menu dégustation était vraiment chouette. J'ai adoré la variété de saveurs offertes, pour célébrer la nouvelle job de mon amie. J'y retournerai avec plaisir!
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

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.
The tea selection is nice & the service was great! The food isn't bad, a couple things could definitely be worked on. I read in other reviews that the scones are dry which is true. I find they were small & hard & crumbled apart which was disappointing. Other items seemed to have been prepared a while prior to serving it.
Paparmane is such a cute spot in Old Montreal for afternoon tea. The decor is super on-theme & cozy. It's the perfect for a girls' day out, mother's day, birthday. You get a set menu with savoury bites on the bottom tier, two scones in the middle, & desserts on top. The menu changes from time to time, but everything is always delicious. They also have a great selection of teas. It's from the same team behind some of my fave brunch spots (Régine & Janine) so no surprise it's a hit!
Expect to pay about $60/person for the regular high tea, before taxes & tip!
