Best gluten free high tea! Delicious selection of savory & pastries & nice ambiance

What a wonderful experience. We were meet by Caroline our tour guide & server. Well she made our experience memorable. On this day we were two. We opted for combination of scones & sandwiches I chose the Bingo Blueberry tea, my friend made another selection which I did not note ... Caroline explained everything on our plate for us to enjoy. Enjoy, discover, & delight was the order for that afternoon. The room is just great with a choice of seating arrangements, soft lighting & array of colors, to delight & distract... well done. I had forgotten the beauty & joy of sitting back, cherishing the moment, enjoying the conversation & delighting in the treats & savoring a delicious tea. Yes folks the art & tradition of high tea, is alive & well in Montreal. This experience was magical & I know I will return. I had forgotten what it's like to be served, correctly, to enjoy an atmosphere that was void of the clickitty clack of people typing like the world is going to end any moment, along with one person taking up a table of 4. Instead it felt like I was in comfortable oasis allowed to rest, think, & have a conversation with my friend without having to shout at one another as is the case in some of those franchise establishments. SOME TIMES YOU NEED TO TREAT YOURSELF RIGHT.... so next time you want a new experience or just want to enjoy high tea & you in the old port stop in & transform an ordinary afternoon into an extraordinary moment.

Loved it! The location is cozy & the decor truly contributes to the high tea experience. The service was impeccable & the bites were delicious. The tea selection was also great.

For the price, this experience was not worth it. Not only was the food sub par (scones were stale & very dry), but their service & atmosphere was terrible. It was too loud & the servers rushed us out. What was supposed to be a relaxing high tea experience, was a stressful & unpleasant one. The tea selection was delicious though.

4.5/5 + beautiful space with lots of fun yet royal atmosphere + Extremely friendly, accommodating, & helpful staff. They were both funny, professional, & genuine. - We were a bilingual group & kept switching from French on English, but the waitress kept up :) + Scones were not dry, but buttery & flaky & the accompanying mascarpone + jam was delicious + All but one savoury dishes were pretty amazing, highlight being the grilled cheese + Savoury dishes were genuinely interesting combinations that will excite all kinds of palettes ⭐ Every single dessert was amazing. Honestly highlight of the experience. Not only this but they were creative, & rather pretty. + Flawless macarons & amazing cake - I found my tea (their Darjeeling selection) to be rather lack luster & a little watered down. Mind you I'm picky with tea & it's hard to get it right with western style. - one of the savoury dishes was sort of meh. It was the small tuna sandwiches which had an imbalance in amount of bread.

L'expérience de l'heure du thé chez paparmane en vaut le détour! Ils offrent une belle sélection de thé de toute sorte pour accompagner leur plateau de sandwich, canapés & dessert. Chaque bouchée offre un goût unique & la présentation est recherchée. Le décor met bien l'ambiance & le service est bon & on ne voit pas le temps passé! L'expérience se prête bien à un tête à tête, une sortie en famille ou entre amis. J'y retournerai volontier!

I enjoyed the high tea service on Saturday afternoon. We were a group of 4 with reservations. It was very busy so reservations are a must. The food was delicious & presented beautifully. The tea selection is very nice & the pear mimosas were delicious. The service was very good especially for how busy it was. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday with some great friends!

Qualité du service 5 étoiles dans un cadre bucolique, ou chaque bouchées est un véritable plaisir. Le tout s'accompagne & s'agence parfaitement avec une superbe séléction de thés de qualité. Nous reviendrons! 5/5
