Review Summary

Paparmane is described as a magical tea room in Old Montreal with a whimsical, rococo inspired decor that many say is stunning and photogenic, setting a special mood for gatherings. The service is repeatedly praised as attentive, friendly, and accommodating, including customizable options for dietary needs and families with children. The tea selection is wide and the food presentation is elegant, with menus that include vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan choices and frequent seasonal changes that invite repeat visits. While most bites are noted as delicious and thoughtfully crafted, a few comments mention that some sweets can be very sweet or scones can be dry and portions can feel modest for the price. The overall vibe is described as memorable and immersive, perfect for birthdays, girl days, or a relaxing outing, and many reviews say they would return to experience the next menu and the enchanting atmosphere.

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!

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 ?.

Great choice of petit fours for the Christmas tea time! Friendly service & cute interior.

Although i personally think the tea choices were limited. Plenty of sweet notes choices in the tea but if you love sweet notes on tea it is perfect for you.

A spectacular setting, impeccable service, & 3 luscious tiers of heavenly bites! 😋 Orange fennel scone was to die for, as was the red velvet cake. Earl Grey tea was fresh & flavourful. What a unique, wonderful experience! 😍

the tea, service, & interior were all really lovely

we had the winter delights menu that had tasty things, but unfortunately the red velvet cake was really dry, the mascarpone was a bit bland, & all the sweets were a bit too sweet. The scones were the best part but the size (especially considering what you're paying) were really disappointing. The jam was amazing too but there's not enough offered to use it on :/ Ultimately i left feeling it wasn't worth the price

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!

Ce tea Time est merveilleux, nous en prenons pleins les yeux ! À la période d'Halloween le restaurant, qui est déjà à la base magnifique, se pare d'une superbe décoration ! Les serveurs sont très agréables & les différentes petites bouchées servies sont délicieuses ! Je vous recommande cette expérience !

The ambience is great & the service is good which makes up for the average food.

A pedantic point, the proper term is not'high tea' it is'afternoon tea'. High tea refers to a working class meal of meat & potatoes. It is called'high tea' because it was served at high tables as opposed to the lower lounge-like tables characteristic of afternoon tea.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was great. The service was wonderful. So if u want afternoon tea experience & r in Montreal this is the place to go to. They also will remove ingredients that u don't like or can't eat. So u still get the full experience. The carrot cake was exquisite. The peach & cream tea was amazing.

My fav tea salon in Montreal. Great ambience, great aesthetics, great service & hands down delicious food & tea

It was a warm, cozy & delicious experience! I savored my green tea with rose (which alone was a pleasure for both taste & smell) & had to fight to finish my vegan menu, so much variety & quantity! I loved the time the waitress took to explain each one of the tasty pieces of artwork & in general I felt super welcomed & pampered even as a party of 1. Will visit again for sure & I definitely recommend for a couple of hours aside the busy Montreal rhythm.

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.
