If you're looking for a lovely afternoon tea in Montreal, then you've definitely come to the right place, rest assured you will not be disappointed at all, let's start:

1. We were served first with lovely fluffy scones & a selection from a variety of teas (I took apple pie, she took cream of Earl Grey).They also have gluten free scones which was appreciated (notify them when making reservations). The choice of 6 toppings (butter, cream, triple berry jam, marmalade jam, bourbon caramel, & lemon curd). EVERYTHING was delicious. We could have asked for more, but we saved space for the savoury round coming up next.

2. We had each gluten free selection & non-gluten free, it had: first layer: salmon quiches; Second layer: cucumber sandwiches, each sandwiches; Third layer: cheese cakes, shortbread cookie, cookie cake, butter tarts, & fresh fruit. Everything was fresh & we especially loved the cheese cakes.

3. We were so full & satisfied. Definitely, this will become a tradition for us to come to this place.

4. The staff were so personable & took time to chat with us, they were so friendly & welcoming & offered us the gluten free goodies to take home.

You'll see in the third picture that we ate everything!!!

I would give 100 star rating if I could.

Adorable little place with delicious food. We got the afternoon tea service, which came with a scone, 3 tea sandwiches, 2 phyllo cups & an assortment of desserts each. The food was very well made & the tea selection was amazing. The scones were particularly amazing, soft & moist.
Afternoon tea is only served after 12h30, so make sure to make a reservation since it is quite small.

What a beautiful, friendly, & delightful place to eat! The staff were so accommodating to my family, including my children, & genuinely care about your experience. Everything tasted wonderful, the sandwiches, soup, salad, scones with different toppings, & dessert. You may need a reservation to eat but it is truly a must see experience.

Not your usual high-tea spot. This cozy place offer a delicious aromatic variety of teas. Their scones hug your soul along with their heavenly home-made jams, caramel, cream, & more to devour with scones. Their adorable sandwiches & desserts will not only fill your appetite but your heart. I truly appreciated their warm & bubbly service. Please note they only take cash or E-transfer.

Long review ahead, but TLDR; this is a fantastic place for scones, lunch, afternoon tea, a date, a catch-up with friends, or a nice solo-date. Scones 11/10 with the best spreads & mixed teas. Photos ft Afternoon Tea with scones (new jam & plating), English breakfast tea mixed with a berry tea, & afternoon tea with yummy sandwiches & an assortment of desserts! We moved tables after a big group came, but it was fine! Long review: Absolutely LOVE this place. I've been going since 2019 & will always keep coming back. My first impression in 2019 was how warm & homey the place felt. Ciaran, the guy working the floor & the register at the time, was such a lovely presence, & always offered an extra scone after I had excitedly finished my first two haha. BEST SCONES, hands down. After the early years of the pandemic, I stopped seeing Ciaran there, & instead met Kate & Donna! I hope I'm getting the names right. Donna is a star & approached my partner & I when we were speaking, maybe a little too loudly haha, about wanting to recreate their lemon curd at home! She told us all that was in it without sharing secrets, & it was just so lovely. Again, I feel so at home with how friendly & casual the staff is :) Kate is ever lovely & brings an extra spot of brightness! I often overhear her speaking with the elderly customers, calling them by their first names, & really bringing that hospitality & personal touch. Most recently, she handled my booking through Google actually! When we got there, there was a mixup with the booking, with her knowing we had reserved, but we weren't in the system. Despite this, we did some Tetris with the tables, & it all worked out! Should have been stressful, but she made it lovely for my last litte date with my partner before I traveled to Asia for a few months without him! All in all, lovely place. Great food with a limited & rotating menu, great service, super cute interior design, jams & food available to go or for purchase, & an always fun afternoon tea session. Smoked salmon appetizer is fantastic. Mix the sweet cream & caramel, sweet cream & lemon curd, & be sure to ask for more! I preferred the peach whisky jam over the new spiced one, but the new triple berry jam is great! I'll be back when I'm back from Asia, & I'll bring my family 🥰

We came here for the afternoon tea today for my friend's birthday. The service was really wonderful & the cafe is really cozy. I don't understand the few snobby reviews of the afternoon tea service. I wasn't expecting a super high end hotel tea service (though it was my first time having an afternoon tea anywhere), & that was kind of the point. It was really good value for the amount of food we received while still being accessible for our budget. On to the food...the highlights for me were the scones & the desserts. Every bite was phenomenal & we loved the assortment of different toppings for the scones. The brownies were amazing. The sandwiches & salmon & veggie cups were great too. I enjoyed every bite of food I had. They did forget to write a little happy birthday for our friend, but we were enjoying ourselves so much we didn't even notice. The waiter very cleverly asked us which scone toppings we preferred under the guise of curiosity, but they apologized for forgetting the birthday & sent each of us home with an extra scone & cookie & our respective favorite topping. Totally unexpected & unnecessary, but we really appreciated it a lot. I can't wait to come back for a date with my boyfriend (who really enjoyed the food I brought home). Thank you for a really lovely afternoon! My only suggestion would be to list the hours of the tea service online - it would have been useful to have this information beforehand.

Had Afternoon High Tea at Gryphon d'or. Felt relaxed & enjoyed every minute.
What a selection of tea - I had the Ginger Marmalade which was perfect. The two warm fluffy scones served with jam, cream, marmalade, caramel, butter, & lemon curd were sooo good! Then smoked salmon pinklets, cucumber & egg heart-shaped two-tone sandwiches followed by dessert - lemon squares, short bread cookies, strawberry shortcake in a shot glass, rich chocolate cheesecake .
I will definitely return to this little gem!
