My husband & I took our kids there for my daughter's birthday. I was initially worried if they'd be able to accommodate my daughter's many allergens, so I called & left a message. Annouk called me back & was reassuring that her team will be able to put something together; she did not make me feel like an inconvenience whatsoever. The whole family enjoyed the experience & left with our bellies full. We most especially loved the attention to detail they put towards the kids with the kids' menu & the little toys available for them to keep entertained. We will certainly come again!
Bon, original. La carte des thés n'est pas très élaborée & les descriptions ne rendent pas justice aux thés. L'endroit est magnifique mais les places sont collées & c'est bruyant.
We went & had a high tea with our children & the service was phenomenal. The staff was so attentive & kind. & they doted on our kids! If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
A truly unique high tea experience that makes you feel like you are in Alice in Wonderland. The tea was amazing - I bought some to take home, & the finger food was delicious & in generous quantities.

Loved this spot for my birthday. Had great service & amazing food. The high Tea here is worth the $$.
The only thing is I wish there weren't as many children, it got kind of loud & ruined the vibe a little bit. Besides that, great place!!
Quelle expérience! Nous avons vraiment passé un bon moment à venir prendre le thé dans une ambiance feutrée & un service impeccable. Les plats sont délicieux & raffinés. Ce n'est pas pour toutes les bourses par contre, mais si on veux se gâter, c'est une excellente option.
We were a happy group of mothers & daughters. Wonderful food & service! The staff was so kind to our girls. Love that they have a kids menu. The experience was so memorable. A big thank you!

Overall it was a great experience, the food was incredible & we had a vegetarian, gluten free & a vegan person & they could have accommodated all of us, which I am very grateful for.
The food was just sooo good & conducive to great conversations due to the allotted time for the whole experience. Although pricey, this is a little cheaper than what I paid for high tea in Wales & I found the experience to be as enjoyable if not more. Place was super well decorated & service was in English & French.
everything was phenomenal they accommodate you if you have dislikes to certain food & or allergies. It is very clean & the staff is on point with the kindness, quickness & service. Very clean place. Easy to access by metro. The food is delicious & the environment is chill relax calm. The only reason I gave it 4 stars because it's just a bit too pricey for the quantity of food. That being said I don't have any complaints.
Dans le cadre d'un évènement de BPW Montréal nous avons eu le plaisir de découvrir le Paparmane Salon de thé, un véritable joyau au coeur du Vieux-Montréal. Nous étions un groupe de 50. Paparmane a su nous recevoir de façon formidable
L'atmosphère feutrée & agréable crée un cadre parfait pour des rencontres conviviales & des échanges enrichissants. Nous avons été particulièrement séduits par l'accueil chaleureux & la disponibilité du personnel formidable, qui ont contribué à faire de notre visite une expérience mémorable.
Côté saveurs, l'excellente nourriture, préparée avec soin, & la sélection raffinée de thés ont ravi nos papilles.
Je recommande vivement le Paparmane Tea Room : une adresse idéale pour savourer un moment de détente dans un cadre élégant & convivial.
They accommodated so many things! They automatically have a regular menu & a gluten free menu! We de used we would get one of each to try everything! & I requested that my menu was spicy pepper free including paprika, & they substituted marvelously! My friend substituted anything with nuts! Again well done! Everything was delicious! The tea selection is incredible! The atmosphere was great when we were there! The de or is awesome all the way downstairs to the bathrooms!
