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 whimsical and elegant tea room experience in Old Montreal, where the decor feels like stepping into a fairytale and the atmosphere invites lingering. Guests consistently praise the extensive tea selection, the beautifully presented bites, and the option to tailor dishes for gluten free, vegan, or other dietary needs, making it easy for families and individuals alike to enjoy. The service is described as attentive, professional, and friendly, with staff guiding guests through a multi course high tea experience and adding thoughtful touches for celebrations and special occasions. The setting is repeatedly highlighted as picture perfect, with seasonal menus and kid friendly options that make it a great spot for birthdays, girls days out, or a quiet escape. While some reviews note the price and portions, the overall impression emphasizes quality, hospitality, and a memorable, immersive experience that keeps guests returning for another magical visit.
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.

We had an amazing experience at Paparmane Montreal! As vegetarians, we were thrilled with the variety & taste of the food-it's often hard to find great vegetarian options, but this place exceeded our expectations. The mocktails & cocktails were equally impressive. While it's a bit on the pricier side, every dollar is worth it for the food, drinks, & the beautiful ambiance. The location is fantastic, making it perfect for a special outing. You can check out some photos from our visit on my Instagram: @chitrayuk
We had such an incredible experience with the family. Tasty little treats & they accommodated our food restrictions. The kids even had their own mini tea & foods along with colouring crayons.

Personnel sympathique, Ambiance chaleureuse! Personnellement j'aurais aimé que les bouchées soient différentes au niveaux des textures, beaucoup de base mayonnaise & fromage ! Cependant tout était frais ! À essayer pour ceux qui aiment sortir de l'ordinaire !
Super endroit ,super service,le personnel est attentionné & on a respecté mes allergie ,tout était succulent dans mon top 3 de tout les thé que j'ai essaye
I have been to Papermane twice. The first time I went with two friends & I loved it so much I knew I had to bring my daughters. Today I brought my 11- & 8-year-old & we all had such a great time. This is such a special experience & it is so thoughtfully designed to accommodate children while still keeping the spirit of high tea. I also want to highlight how friendly & kind every single person working here is.

Wonderfully unique decor with some Alice in Wonderland vibes. The food was well made, expertly presented, & most importantly, tasted incredible. The variety of tea was a very nice & welcome surprise too! Highly recommended experience🤩
Magnifique expérience! L'endroit était sublime, l'hôtesse a été très accommodante malgré qu'on soit arrivé en retard! Service impeccable de l'hôtesse & de notre serveur.
