I had the eggs poached in red wine and the flavor was fantastic. The poached eggs had the perfect silky texture and consistency. Our servers were welcoming and fluent in French and English.

This was a memorable meal and I hope to return here.

Their continental breakfast was so good we didn't bother ordering anything off the regular menu. Each breakfast came with a pastry of choice, and I got the (very large but delicious) croissant. There was also a yogurt parfait with berries and granola that was a perfect compliment to the carbs of my croissant. I didn't really get my coffee refilled so I'm not sure if that's all you get, but it was still a lovely coffee and I enjoyed dining here. They also have a really lovely outdoor patio that we finally got a moment to visit. I would have come for the patio alone, it was so lovely and everything I needed on a warm summer afternoon. Sometimes it took awhile for our server to come out and check on us, but we had the time so it didn't really matter. He was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu.

A delightful breakfast on a weekday morning!…read more We were lucky enough that Renoir opened as early as 7 AM and so seeing the glowing reviews, we had to stop by. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the beautiful layout of the restaurant. They had plenty of seating, and I love that there was a variety from booth to traditional tables to couches! This restaurant was truly elegant. For someone who always gets overwhelmed with choices, I really appreciated that their breakfast menu was straight to the point, and while there were still many offerings, it was succinct. Our table started off with some juices and coffee - I decided on the grapefruit juice, but I really wish I had tried the orange juice because it was definitely freshly squeeze and I was told that it was so sweet and delicious! The grapefruit juice was good too, but I forgotten how bitter grapefruit can be :,) for my entrée I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes, and this was cooked to perfection. The eggs Benedict still had that runny yolk with a savory hollandaise sauce while the potatoes were one of best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The flavor was Herby and potato was firm enough to still have that crispy exterior but soft enough that I could break the potato in half with my fork. Another thing I have to brave about this restaurant was the service. Our waiter was so kind and funny and he was always coming back to attend to us and make sure that we had everything we needed. Really love this place and hopefully I can come back again for breakfast in Montreal!

The front area is a bakery with beautiful dessert displays. I wish I had a room for dessert. We came for the Quiche Lorraine, and the portion was huge -- probably enough for 3 people, I would say. It had a lot of meat, with some kind of special ham/bacon, and the flavor was delicious. If you like meat, this is the dish for you. I definitely recommend it! Personally, I would have liked a little more egg custard in the quiche. The Eggs Benedict was delicious as well. The drinks were great and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend!.

We got the pear dessert, lemon meringue, and Ferrero chocolate cake, and together the three desserts came to around $45. Honestly, I didn't want to like them as much as I did because of the price, but they were all so good that we immediately wanted more. The pear dessert was light and delicate, while the outer white chocolate layer added a really nice crunch. I was super happy to see them because they were viral on TikTok lol. The Ferrero chocolate cake was super creamy and rich, and even the base had that delicious Ferrero flavor throughout. The lemon meringue was also light and refreshing, while the bottom crust still had a nice firmness to it in a good way. Every dessert was super flavorful and tasted amazing. The staff greeted us right away when we came in for takeout, and everyone was very friendly. They also helped pack our desserts, although I personally would have preferred if each dessert was packaged separately. The shop itself is really cute too. They have an adorable heart and rose sign outside, and all the desserts are displayed at the front. They also sell croissants and other little pastries/snacks as well.

there's something about afternoon tea that makes an ordinary afternoon feel just a little more…read morespecial. resos were made for a party of three at paparmane, a whimsical afternoon tea spot near old montreal. we arrived a little before our reservation and checked in. while we waited, we wandered through the tiny gift shop at the front of the restaurant. it isn't large enough to browse at your leisure, so we found ourselves weaving around other guests and being mindful of everyone's space. there were loose leaf teas to smell, pretty teaware, and cute little gifts that helped pass the time until our table was ready. about 12 minutes later, we were seated. one small moment caught me off guard when a party of five that arrived a few minutes after us was shown to their table first and warmly welcomed as vip guests. they looked like they might have been celebrating something special, so there may have been a reason, but not gonna lie, i felt a little like chopped liver for a minute. i laughed it off and didn't let it take away from the afternoon. once we passed through the curtain, the dining room made quite the first impression. exposed brick, blush pink walls, oversized paper flowers suspended from chandeliers, and an enchanted forest mural gave the space a whimsical, alice in wonderland feel. the restaurant stayed busy the entire time we were there, yet it never felt rushed. having enjoyed quite a few afternoon teas around vancouver, i couldn't help comparing the experience, and paparmane easily holds its own. the space is elegant, playful, and incredibly photogenic. each of us received our own teapot with loose leaf tea of our choice in a sachet, along with a timer so we'd know exactly when to pour. oat milk was available, which was a nice touch. our server checked in once to offer more hot water for another steep, but we were only given two small creamers for the table, which disappeared pretty quickly. when the three tier stands arrived, our server carefully explained every item before offering to take a photo for us, something we noticed being offered to every table. it was a thoughtful touch, and the three of us were so excited that it almost felt like the towers deserved a polite golf clap. the food reflected an incredible amount of care. every bite looked like it had been assembled with intention, from the paper thin ribbons of cucumber to the delicate pastries. i could almost picture the chef placing the finishing touches with tweezers. we especially appreciated the balance between savoury and sweet, with enough variety in flavours and textures to keep every course interesting. the two miniature scones were served with a delightful strawberry rosemary jam and a sweet clover mascarpone cream, both of which were outstanding. my only wish was that the scones had been served warm. i also couldn't help thinking that an eclectic mix of mismatched vintage fine china would have suited the whimsical atmosphere perfectly, although i understand why restaurants opt for more durable glassware. one of my friends switched to the vegan afternoon tea after seeing the selection served to the neighbouring table, and she absolutely loved it. we were pleasantly surprised to see a vegan menu that felt just as thoughtful and beautifully presented as the traditional offering. despite the delicate presentation, the afternoon tea was surprisingly substantial. each of us managed just one of the two miniature scones before boxing up the rest to enjoy later. service throughout the afternoon was professional, although it leaned more polished than warm. everything was handled efficiently, but it was missing that little extra touch of genuine hospitality that transforms good service into a truly memorable experience. between the magical setting, beautifully prepared food, quality teas, and generous portions, paparmane offers an afternoon tea experience that's well worth seeking out while visiting montreal. if i could change a few things, it would simply be warm scones, an eclectic mix of mismatched vintage fine china, a little more cream for the tea, and just a bit more warmth from the service. those are small details, though, in what was otherwise a lovely afternoon spent with friends over tea, sweets, and conversation. it's the kind of place that encourages you to slow down, linger over one more cup of tea, and lose track of time for a little while.

I was genuinely excited to experience afternoon tea at Paparmane after discovering the café while…read moreexploring the beautiful streets of Montréal the day before. As someone who regularly enjoys tea service with friends, I immediately made an 11:00 a.m. reservation, even though the only available seating was at the bar. That didn't matter to me, I was simply looking forward to the experience. The tea house sent multiple confirmation texts, including a reminder to arrive 15 minutes early, which I happily did. I dressed for the occasion, arrived on time, and was greeted at the door before being shown to my seat at the bar. I let the hostess know that the second guest would not be joining me, she acknowledged and removed the additional menu, then I waited. And waited. And waited. For approximately 15 minutes, I sat without a single acknowledgment from anyone on staff. No one welcomed me, explained the tea service, or even said, "We'll be with you shortly." At one point, a waitress silently filled my water glass, but there was still no interaction beyond bonjour. As the minutes passed, I couldn't help but notice that I was the only Black woman in the tea room. I sincerely hope that had nothing to do with the lack of service. I cannot say that it did. But when you're left sitting unnoticed while eagerly anticipating an experience you specifically planned your morning around, it's difficult not to wonder. Rather than cause a scene or ask for attention that should have been offered naturally, I quietly stood up, picked up my purse, walked out, and returned to my hotel disappointed. About 15 minutes after I returned to my hotel, I received a phone call from the owner asking why I had left. I explained exactly what had happened. She responded, "That's what we thought." She apologized and graciously offered to provide complimentary afternoon tea service if I would return. I respectfully declined. While I appreciated the apology and the offer, some moments simply cannot be undone. You don't get a second opportunity to make a first impression, and you don't get a second chance to make me feel welcomed after I've already been made to feel invisible. I arrived excited for what I hoped would be a memorable experience, and beautiful ending to my final day in Montreal. Instead, I left Paparmane feeling embarrassed, overlooked, and less than. This review isn't about receiving free tea or compensation. It's about hospitality. Every guest deserves to be acknowledged, welcomed, and treated with dignity from the moment they take their seat. Montréal has been an incredible city, filled with warm people, memorable food, and wonderful experiences. Sadly, this was the one exception. I sincerely hope Paparmane reflects on the importance of making every guest feel seen because first impressions matter, and mine left me feeling invisible.
