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.
Excellente expérience & je conseille à tous!(amis,couple & famille)
C'est une adresse à ne pas manquer dans le vieux Montréal. Ma première expérience dans se genre de salon thé & j'y retournerai sans hésiter.La nourriture était excellente & le service impeccable. Le propriétaire est trop gentil!!
This place was super cute & incredibly aesthetic. The atmosphere was probably the best I've ever experienced in a restaurant-everywhere you looked, there was something fascinating, whether it was a piece of artwork or a unique decoration. It really added to the ambiance. The service was good. Food Review: I want to go into detail about everything I tried & rate each dish: Grilled Cheese - 2/5 Pretty boring-nothing special. I didn't like the flavor or the bread (which had pistachios & walnuts). It just wasn't good. I could easily make a better one at home. Shepherd's Pie - 4/5 It was amazing! The only thing I would change is adding some corn for a bit of freshness, since there was a lot of meat & it felt really dense. Ideally, it would have equal layers of corn, mashed potatoes, & beef. Deviled Egg - N/A I don't like eggs like that, so I can't really judge it. But I did like the Parmesan crisp on top. BLT Chicken Sandwich - 2/5 Super average. It lacked flavor-literally just tasted like chicken, lettuce, mayo, & mustard on bread. I could make this in two minutes at home. If I'm paying $54 for a meal, I want something more intricate, something that excites my taste buds. Potato Artichoke Luca with Salmon Mousse - 5/5 This was hands down my favorite of all the savory items. I'm not even a fan of salmon or fish in general, but it was amazing. I would eat 100 of these. Absolutely a 10/10. Scones & Desserts: Scones - 3/5 A little dry. I've had better scones that I made at home or from places like Milk. They needed more moisture. The jam, however, was incredible-I literally finished it with a spoon. The cream wasn't my thing, but that's just personal preference. Macaron - 2/5 This one was disappointing. I thought it was raspberry white chocolate (which is a great flavor combo), but it tasted like mint. The texture was good, though. Pistachio Cake - 1/5 Not for me. I don't like almond fondant or almond paste, & the pistachio flavor just wasn't it. Chocolate Mousse - 1/5 Did not like it at all. The popcorn on top also felt random & unnecessary. Overall Experience: Despite some of the food being hit or miss, I'm really happy I went. The experience was worth it-it was a nice way to spend a cute girls' brunch. I also appreciated the little touches, like them taking your coat when you arrive. Plus, the fact that it was so busy made me feel like I had chosen a great spot-clearly, everyone wants to come here!

Un moment d'exception chez Paparmane Thé - High Tea ! L'ambiance raffinée & calme offre un cadre idéal pour savourer chaque instant. Le service est tout simplement hors pair, attentif & chaleureux. Une expérience incontournable pour les amateurs de thé & de délicatesse.
Super bon service mais nourriture très ordinaire. Vraiment dispendieux pour ce que c'est honnêtement. Je n'y retournerais pas mais je suis contente de l'avoir essayé.
Super service de notre serveur Keven. Il est venu plusieurs fois à notre table s'assurer que l'on manquait de rien & il était très sympathique. Un merci spécial à Pierre-Luc qui a de plus, arranger une table pour 2 pour moi malgré les places limités. La communication par courriel a été rapide & courtoise. Je recommande cette place, ils sont professionnels, sympathique & soucieux de leurs clientèles.
My friends & I celebrated my birthday at Paparmane, & it was such a magical experience! The beautiful rococo decor set the perfect atmosphere, & the tea selection was absolutely incredible - so many unique & flavorful blends to choose from. The tiered platters were a highlight for all of us, with delicious scones, sandwiches, & pastries that we couldn't get enough of. The staff were so welcoming & made the day even more special. We loved every moment & can't wait to be back for another unforgettable afternoon
Pretty cute & magical feeling of venue, the food is amazing however the sweets are way too sweet if they put less sugar about 40%, I would like to visit regularly.
