Paparmane is such a cute spot in Old Montreal for afternoon tea. The decor is super on-theme & cozy. It's the perfect for a girls' day out, mother's day, birthday. You get a set menu with savoury bites on the bottom tier, two scones in the middle, & desserts on top. The menu changes from time to time, but everything is always delicious. They also have a great selection of teas. It's from the same team behind some of my fave brunch spots (Régine & Janine) so no surprise it's a hit!
Expect to pay about $60/person for the regular high tea, before taxes & tip!View more

As someone with a ton of dietary restrictions, the staff was so helpful & patient with me while ordering. The food itself was absolutely delicious & I was so stuffed by the end of it! Food tasted good & made me feel good as well. I recommend this experience to anyone who happens to be in the city!View more

We had the most magical time at Paparmane today. My husband & I went to celebrate my birthday. I made a reservation online & let them know at that time that I have celiac disease. The owner of the tearoom personally emailed me a few days later to follow up on my need for a gluten free menu which I thought was amazing.
When we walked in today I was thrilled with how whimsical the atmosphere was. The staff that met us at the door was very friendly & instantly asked us which member of our party had celiac disease. She reassured me the staff was very knowledgeable & trained in celiac awareness. This made me feel very comfortable.
Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable & very attentive. He took the time to explain the menus & how food allergies are easily accommodated.
Once the food arrived the presentation was beautiful & thoughtfully arranged. The taste was unbelievable! Having celiac disease finding gluten free food that tastes wonderful is very hard to come by. The food here made me incredibly happy with every bite. I savoured every morsel! I cannot express how delicious everything was. My husband had the vegetarian option & loved every bite as well.
I cannot say enough about how much we loved our experience here. I was also delighted that I was able to purchase some loose leaf tea to bring hone with me as well.
I cannot wait to return again to Paparmane for another beautiful & magical experience in the future!View more

The décor was beautiful, & the food & tea were tasty; however, the service was disappointing. The host was great, but our server was not. She was inattentive-although we were a party of four, our table was set with only three teacups. We had to ask her to bring another cup.
Additionally, she asked if we wanted milk, & we said yes, but then she went to another table & disappeared. We asked her again. We never received the milk. Eventually, we had to ask one of her colleagues, who kindly brought it for us.
It was her colleague who took the time to explain what was brought to us, & offered to take our family photo. Not our server.
Our server brought us the debit machine very quickly.
In the future, we would choose a higher-end hotel for high tea, as the servers there are better trained & the service is more professional.View more

Pros
-beautiful decor
-lots of menu options for dietary needs
-relaxing environment
-reasonable pricing for afternoon tea
Room for improvement
-the food has a lot of room for improvements. The scones are too dry. The dessert was decent. The strawberry one was not very good.
The savory portion needs the most work. The brie cheese & bread was very
The herbal teas were not very good. Tried two versions & they were both very sour.View more

In my experience, the atmosphere is lovely, the food is ok, the dessert was a bit stale (we ate it about an hour after leaving), we were the last guests so staff whilst polite were not at all friendly, all in all for the 3 of the bill was near $180, so not truly worth the cost.View more

Bel endroit, très'Instagramable'.
Malheureusement toutefois, la qualité de la nourriture n'était pas au rendez-vous (pour un prix assez élevé pourtant). Les bouchées sucrées étaient particulièrement décevantes!
J'accorde tout de même 3 étoiles pour le service & l'emplacement.View more

J'y suis aller avec nièces ados & nous avons toutes été conquises. Le soucis du détail se retrouve autant dans la nouriture, le service que la magnifique décos & la jolie vaiselle. J'y retournerai certainement!View more
