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.
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!
Honnêtement trop chère pour ce que c'est, portion pour un oiseaux, pas très bon, 2 verre de thé max dans ta théière, seul point positif c'est très beau dedans
Dans une ambiance quelque peu désuet, mais non dénuée de charme, nous nous sommes rendus pour y déguster quelques douceurs & des sandwiches fins & delicats.
Le salon de thé est situé dans le Vieux-Montreal.
& l'expérience de l'heure du thé à l'anglaise fut agréable surtout en plein hiver lorsqu'il fait frisquet dehors.
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 ?.
Endroit ludique & festif.
Le niveau de bruit est élevé.
Les plateaux sont bien garnis & les bouchées étaient très goûteuses.
Service attentif.
Serait 4 étoiles si ce n'était pas du prix.
Pour 3 personnes avec pourboire: au dessus de 200$
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.
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.
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! 😍
