Le thé, les pâtisseries & petites bouchées étaient délicieux, on savourait le tout en étant dans un beau décor raffiné & une atmosphère chaleureuse. Notre petite fille a également adoré chaque instant, dégustant avec joie ses collations. Le service était impeccable, attentif & bienveillant, s'assurant que même les plus jeunes invités se sentent les bienvenus. Un endroit parfait pour une pause thé en famille! Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
Trois choix de service de thé complets... le salé était excellent. Les sandwiches, rien à redire, je n'ai jamais vu mieux. Les scones étaient bien. Le mascarpone remplaçant la crème double habituelle : super bonne idée. Le thé lui-même est unique.

I was very pleased with our visit to Paparmane, especially with how well-thought out the children's tea program was. My kids were delighted with the cotton candy tea, as well as the accompanying food. I found everything-from the food, to the tea, to the decor-to be a cut above the ordinary. The best tea service I've been to outside of England.
We had the vegan platter & it was excellent ! Service & atmosphere were on point, we really enjoyed our experience. So happy we could find a vegan option on the menu.
Beautiful decor, amazing & welcoming staff. The food is light & satisfying with a large choice of warm beverages that'll go down smoothly along with any worriest you've had before walking in. Hakuna matata!
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.
C'est le petit nouveau dans la famille, après les excellents Régine Café & Jeannine Café. & elles n'ont pas à rougir de cette nouvelle lignée, d'autant que j'ai un gros faible pour les plateaux étagés. Le rideau s'ouvre pour une représentation savoureuse, colorée & chaleureuse où salés & sucrés titillent les papilles, le tout coordonné par une équipe attentionnée. Un "spectacle" à savourer😋
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.
Came here with friend. Staff were friendly & the restaurant is cute. Food was decent & some were actually good. but one person is $50, after tax it's around 65-70 per person. To me with $70 I have many different options & probably doesn't need to pay this much to get good food. I never experienced high tea so it's a good experience to me, but it's not something I will come back again.
Très bel endroit, très "instagrammable". C'est assez grand & on ne se sent pas les uns sur les autres. Le service était vraiment top ! Assez chic mais ça reste convivial & pas de pression. Le lieu est très propre, jusqu'aux toilettes. Question nourriture, ma fille s'est exclamée de plaisir à chaque bouchée (plateau régulier). Dans le plateau vegan - le salé était délicieux, le sucré était à mon goût un peu trop sucré. Les biscuits Earl Grey étaient un peu sec. Le thé noir double crème était une tuerie. Mon conjoint qui a préféré un expresso l'a trouvé excellent. S'il fallait comparer, côté vegan, j'ai préféré la partie salée chez Paparmane, mais la partie sucrée au Parloir. Le prix est un poil élevé : Comptez 200$ pour 3 avec une boisson (sans le pourboire). Mais pour une occasion spéciale ou se faire un petit plaisir, je recommande.
