Un délice pour les papilles & pour les yeux ! & le service....incroyable ! Merci Paparmane, j'ai passé un délicieux moment ! & j'y retourne assurément !
Super endroit pour une expérience d'afternoon tea avec vos amis, votre famille. Ne déjeuner pas avant car les portions sont généreuses. Il y a une option végétarienne & je pense même sans gluten. Le service est impeccable. Ce sont les mêmes propriétaires que le Cafe Régine! :)
Un très bel endroit pour prendre le thé entre amies! Tout est excellent, les bouchées, le choix de thé & le personnel attentionné ! Décor zen avec une musique d'ambiance douce pour les oreilles 😉 À essayer sans faute si vous voulez découvrir un endroit sympathique!
This high tea place is incredible & cozy for anyone looking for a fun English afternoon! We ordered the Classic high tea stack, that came with 3 layers, one of more savoury lunch items, one of scones, & one of desserts! It also came with infinite tea of choice! (55$) The first layer of savoury was ok. Noteable favourites being the potato pancake with beef ontop that was tender & crispy, the deviled egg that was heavy but creamy & had a delicious consistency, & the grilled pesto sandwich that was light & tangy! The rest of the options where ok, but more or less left untouched. The second layer had 2 scones aswell as a homemade strawberry jam & a light cream! One scone was just regular & was dense & delicious, but the second was chamomile & vanilla flavoured which was INCREDIBLE! If i could have a whole basket of it i would. The final layer contained 4 desserts! A chocolate mouse which was the perfect portion, & was very light & the right amount of dark chocolate (even had a dalgona peice ontop!). Aswell as a raspberry cake, me & my friend persenally did NOT like the cake as its a very specific sort of almond raspberry blend, I'm sure some people like it but it was quite over powering & perfumey. Another was a tiny apple tart bite, it was light & the cream was fluffy & tasted, but slightly disappointing due to the lack of apple taste. If it had more of an apple concentration inside it would really taste better. Best for last was the seasonal pumpkin macaron, it was light & perfectly encapsulates the pumpkin flavour & spices of autumn. The teas were delicious & me & my friend got to have multiple different types, each accurately fitting their descriptions. Noteable favorite being the Sugar Shack, a black tea with a maple after taste & scent! Overall, we rate our experience here a 8.5/10! Besides the food, the services was incredible & the building is just super beautiful & well decorated. Perfect for a friend meet up, mother daughter date, & an insta photo shoot! Make sure to come on empty stomach!!
Magical & wonderful! Venue is beautiful with so much attention to detail. The service is extraordinary & attentive & the food is spectacular. This is a must for anyone wanting to experience high tea & make beautiful memories.

The establishment possesses a pleasant ambiance, & the customer service is commendable. Although it may not align with my personal preferences, it is an excellent location for tea enthusiasts. While I endeavored to experience it once, I discovered that it does not cater to my tastes.
Fantastic high tea with delectable savory & sweet on all 3 tiers. Service was amazing & dietary restrictions were met without issue. Cozy space with classic & eclectic decor. Only down side was a baby shower being held that was pretty loud. Not quite the setting we are accustomed to for high tea. Would still highly recommend.
Tout était absolument succulent ! Le service était impeccable, l'ambiance très agréable & alors le chocolat chaud, le thé & les bouchées ... un délice ! Un grand merci pour ce beau moment !!!

From the moment we entered the restaurant until we left, we were in awe. I reserve teatime with my 12 year old daughter. They have a special menu for kids for a lesser price. We both took the "sweet secret" tea, which had hints of apple, orange, & flowers. We didn't have to add sugar. It was sugary by itself. I had the classic menu. It was so delicious! I'm still thinking of the deviled egg with truffle oil. All in all, I'm coming back with my friend so she can experience it too.
L'expérience était exceptionnelle ; le service est génial, la sélection de thé est superbe, la nourriture délicieuse & le décor est sublime. Mon nouveau "tea time" préféré!
"I want to share my feedback. It was quite noisy in the venue, & I waited a long time for my order. However, I really liked the interior; it creates a pleasant atmosphere. I hope the service can improve!"

Un endroit très sympa & original Une cuisine top & des thes avec de vrais saveurs Seul petit bémol : le bruit de la salle , il est difficile d'avoir une conversation sans parler fort
New favorite spot in Montreal. High quality tea & food that tastes as good as it looks. The staff is amazing & the vibe is perfect. Take your date, your mom, your grandma, your girl friends & everyone in between!
