Salon de thé Le Gryphon d'Or offers a refined high tea experience with exquisite food and tea at very reasonable prices. Scones are described as fluffy and fresh, with a toppings flight and a wide tea selection to pair with them. Gluten free options are available, and the menu features a layered service with savory bites such as salmon quiches and cucumber tea sandwiches and a variety of desserts. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, with friendly, attentive staff who make guests feel welcome and who even accommodate last minute changes. Reservations are recommended due to the small size, and some reviews note hours on Sundays can be inconsistent and cash payments may be preferred. Overall it is regarded as a gem and a place to return to, with many describing it as a memorable and comforting escape.
Last time I remember having tea & dessert that was as tasty as my home baking was in a tea shop in Charlottetown in 1986... Gryphon D'Or is a pleasant surprise! We will be happy to return, thank-you.
Wow, qu'elle belle expérience! La nourriture était sublime, l'ambiance chaleureuse & le service impeccable. Notre coup de coeur du temps des fêtes. Merci Kate!

It's been far too long since I last visited this NDG gem. The rarebit Benedict & the stuffed French toast (apple + caramel) were exceptional. Staff are friendly, ambiance is cozy. I'll be back again soon!

What a nice experience! The scones are to die for & especially with the homemade caramel! They have a nice selection of teas. The service is great & friendly. I highly recommend!
Literally the best brunch spot in Montreal! Actually I would say the best brunch in Eastern Canada! If you have been, you know...if you haven't, you are missing out! Donna & her team make the most amazing brunch from epic eggs bene (trust me on this one!) to french toast & everything in between! & I would recommend a reservation to make sure you get in! It's an intimate tea house so there can be long line ups to get in. Thank you Donna AGAIN for another amazing brunch & can't wait to see you next trip!!!
The scones are the best that I have had in Montreal. They also have a variety of very good teas to go with. The only drawback is the place itself. It is a bit rundown & smelly & needs an upgrade
The most fantastic tea & coffee & high tea .By far the best we have ever had in Montreal Amazing food & great detail in every mouthful. Could give tea rooms in the UK a run for their money any day. Excellent.

This is one of the few times I can say the place hasn't changed in the last decade or so & that is a good thing. The staff & owner are so sweet. The food is delicious & prices are reasonable. Reservations are a must as the seating is limited, but totally worth it. Don't forget to grab a soup to go
Wow my friend & I were pleasantly surprised by this place. The quality of the fresh products (scones & varieties of teas), incredible service with very nice waitresses. Everything is homemade!! It's our first time but not the last.
Such a cute place for afternoon tea! The staff is so kind, & the portions are generous. The ambiance is cozy & perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends. The selection of teas is great, & the desserts are absolutely delicious (scones are amazing!!). Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a lovely afternoon treat!
& this is how a perfect piping hot Scone should be accompanied with - Home made condiments, each adding its own distinct flavor to the scones . Team it up with a'Vanilla earl gray tea" & you are instantly transported to the lanes of the British high tea ambience! Not a fancy over the top place. But this is how it's supposed to be - calm & quiet aptly guided by the wonderful hosts :)
Such a sweet spot on Monkland!! The food's quality is truly amazing (very fresh & a good variety) & the teas are interesting & flavorful:) It's also worth noting that the service is top notch! I went there with my friend twice & we both loved it & had an impeccable experience each time! They were also able to accommodate my friend's diet restrictions!! (vegetarian)
I visited this cozy, vibrant tea room with my two daughters for some afternoon tea. We got a warm welcome from this gentleman (apologies for not remembering your name) along with Donna, who came to check up on us a few times to make sure the food was upto our tastes & according to our dietary restrictions (no pork & alcohol). We probably had the best scones here after England! The spread for their afternoon was aesthetically pleasing & sufficient for 5-6 people. Donna sent us home with complimentary freshly baked scones! The whole dining experience was very enjoyable, & they made us feel right at home. We will be returning soon! Thank you to the team of Gryphon d'Or for delivering an exceptional service!
I have been looking for a place that does high tea for the longest time, so imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this amazing place! This place was absolutely incredible from the atmosphere to the food to the people. Everything was home made & tasted delicious, the people there were all so kind & welcoming & I just felt so taken care of & appreciated! The atmosphere was so homey & cosy, I just loved it! If you have a chance to go seize it, you will not regret it!!!
