À un pas de la Basilique Notre-Dame dans le Vieux-Montréal, le salon de thé Paparmane propose sa version colorée de l’heure du thé à l’anglaise dans un esprit gourmand et festif.
Paparmane propose une expérience de thé d'après-midi charmante et fantaisiste à Montréal, qui impressionne constamment les visiteurs par son décor magnifique et chaleureux ainsi que par son niveau d'hospitalité élevé. Les clients soulignent fréquemment la qualité du service personnalisé et attentionné, ainsi que la sélection délicieuse et saisonnière de bouchées sucrées et salées, présentées avec beaucoup de soin. Bien que l'expérience soit souvent comparée avantageusement à d'autres salons de thé renommés, de nombreux convives apprécient l'attention particulière portée aux détails, allant des installations adaptées aux enfants à la gestion efficace des restrictions alimentaires. Bien que certains clients aient noté que le système de réservation peut parfois être complexe ou que l'espace peut sembler restreint, la majorité des visiteurs repartent avec le sentiment d'avoir été choyés et avec l'envie de revenir découvrir les prochains menus saisonniers et célébrer des occasions spéciales.
When in Montreal, Paparmane is a must do! I've been twice & both times were a wonderful experience. The staff are all so pleasant. They are very accomodating to dietary restrictions & substitutions if you need. Everything on the menu has layers of flavor & the chefs know what they are doing. I have been to many teas, & this one is by far the best. The whole family will love this. I took my 24 year old daughter who had dairy & gluten free restrictions, & my twin boys 20. One did the vegetarian choice. All of the trays were so delicious. The tea selection is excellent & they are so flavorful. I love this place & we will go every time we are in Montreal.
Cute high tea spot! They have the whole experience for $55 which is a lot cheaper than other spots I've visited. They have a really large selection of fancy teas which is nice. I think the only thing that would have been nice is if the cups were actually fine bone china , & not just white cups, but that's just a personal preference.
Out of all the food, I really enjoyed the savoury items, some very original flavours. Would definitely recommend as a girls day for any occasion! Service was nice & offered to take a picture of all of us when the goodies arrived.
They also have a small boutique section in the front in case you want to buy their tea which could be cool.
The ambiance inside is adorable, with fun funky art & flowers, a fun twist on the concept of high tea.
Unique place! Its was so much fun & everything was perfect. The food, the service was 10/10, the tea, the ambiance, all of it. Leaving drab a little something on the way out from the little shop. Well be going back for sure

I just wanted to express our appreciation for the service we received yesterday at Paparmane for the birthday of my daughter.
The tea sets & teas were delicious. We especially loved the earl grey scones, the cucumber & yuzu sandwiches, & the sweet potato latkes. The quantity was good & we were not left wanting. Halfway through, our server brought out a whimsical musical box with a sweet surprise inside. It was totally unexpected & fully appreciated.
The only thing I would have preferred is for the tables to be more widely spaced apart. It was a little difficult to not have to listen to conversations of others sitting less than an arm's length away, & we weren't able to capture a nice photo of the moment at our table with the space constraints.
This place is fantastic! Our positive experience started with a telephone conversation about the reservation - they were accommodating. The staff who worked on August 13th between 12 noon & 2p were the best! They were extremely helpful & the service was great! Oh, did I mention that the food, teas & decor were also excellent - it was. Highly recommend! P.S. thank you very much for the birthday treat Carolyne :)
We did the high tea on a Sunday afternoon. Love the ambiance, decor, & friendly service! Thanks also for accommodating my request for a corner table. Highly recommend, will be back :)
there's something about afternoon tea that makes an ordinary afternoon feel just a little more special. while visiting montreal, i made reservations for a party of three at paparmane, a whimsical afternoon tea spot near old montreal that had been on my list.
we arrived a little early & spent some time at the tiny shop in the front, browsing the pretty teaware, cute gifts & smelling the loose leaf while waiting for our table. the space is quite small, so you do have to be mindful of other guests while looking around.
our table was ready about 12 minutes later. one small moment caught me off guard when a party of five who arrived after us was seated first & welcomed as vip guests. maybe they were celebrating something special, not gonna lie, i felt a little like chopped liver for a minute. i laughed it off & didn't let it affect the afternoon.
once inside, it was easy to see why paparmane is so popular. the dining room is enchanting, with blush pink walls, exposed brick, oversized flowers hanging from chandeliers, & an enchanted forest mural that gives the space a whimsical alice in wonderland feel. it stayed busy throughout our visit, yet never felt rushed.
having enjoyed many afternoon teas around vancouver, i appreciated how much thought went into both the atmosphere & presentation. it's elegant, playful, & incredibly photogenic without feeling overdone.
each of us received our own teapot with loose leaf tea in a sachet, along with a timer for steeping. oat milk was available as an alternative to milk, which was a nice touch. our server checked in once to offer more hot water for another steep, although we could have used a little more cream for the table.
when the three tier stands arrived, our server explained each item & offered to take photos for us, something we noticed was offered to every table. it was such a thoughtful touch, & honestly, the excitement level was high enough that the towers almost deserved a polite golf clap.
the food showed a lot of care & attention to detail. from the delicate pastries to the paper-thin cucumber sandwiches, everything looked thoughtfully prepared. i could almost imagine the chef carefully placing the finishing touches with tweezers. we loved the balance of sweet & savoury items, with a nice variety of flavours & textures.
the two miniature scones came with a delicious strawberry rosemary jam & sweet clover mascarpone cream. both were excellent, although i do wish the scones had been served warm. i also think an eclectic mix of mismatched vintage fine china would have perfectly matched the whimsical atmosphere, although i understand the practicality of using glassware.
one of my friends chose the vegan afternoon tea after seeing the neighbouring table's selection & absolutely loved it. we were pleasantly surprised to see a vegan option that was just as thoughtful & beautifully presented as the traditional offering.
despite the petite presentation, the afternoon tea was surprisingly substantial. we each managed only one of our two miniature scones before happily packing up the rest to enjoy later.
service was attentive & professional, although it felt more polished than personal. everything was handled efficiently, but it was missing that extra bit of warmth that takes good hospitality to the next level.
overall, paparmane is a lovely spot for a special occasion, a girls' afternoon out, or anyone who enjoys a little bit of whimsy with their tea. between the magical setting, beautiful presentation, quality teas, & thoughtful details, it was a memorable afternoon.
my only wishes would be warm scones, a little more cream for the tea, & perhaps a touch more warmth from the service. small details aside, it was a wonderful afternoon spent catching up with friends over tea, pastries, & plenty of laughter.
I'm only giving this place a 3 because of the presentation of the food & the place itself. The food was, not to be mean, but it was nasty. If I could rate the food, I would give it a 2/10. My money was wasted-$63 for food I didn't enjoy, nor did I finish it. & on top of that, they had the nerve to ask for a tip & gave us a nasty glare. One of their staff was pretty rude; when we left & said goodbye, he completely ignored us. Though the tea was great 🫡
12 of us shared high tea on a firday afternoon. We had a really nice time.
The service was excellent. The tea was good enough (we traded amongst us so we got a big selection to base our opinion on) & some of the food was very good. I would really recommend hitting Paparmane up, especially at the price point they offer. It's less than half the price we paid for high tea at The Empress Hotel a couple of weeks ago.
The decor was brilliant & whimsical. I had the classic tea experience & the treats were delicious. I love the variety. Everyone was welcoming & friendly, which made tea time a truly wonderful experience.
