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.

Located in the more eastern part of the St. Roch district. They have a partnership with 5 other tea…read morecompanies called the Tea Studio, which has a series of tea originating from Southern India in the Nilgiri region, where all the tea leaves are managed by a community of women that are paid a living wage. The teas here are organic, fair trade, and or either: vegetal, floral, fruity, woody, earthy, or spicy. From the lightest and sweetest white teas, to sencha or matcha green teas, to wulong teas, to black teas, and even lattes, this place caters to restaurants and other Cafés here in Quebec. About 200 tins of tea line up the wall behind the counter. The little tea house has a small sit down area where there is peaceful, naturist music in the background. My matcha soy milk latte was really well done. The usual bitterness from the matcha is balanced out by the sweeter taste of the soy milk. My beau likes a stronger tea, so he ordered the Manzi Hong Cha, which is a black tea with leaves from 80 year-old trees. Both teas soothed us right away. Perfect for cooler Autumn or colder Winter weather. The host is bilingual and super knowledgeable of all the teas here. Upon arriving, he asked us if we wanted to sit down or to buy tea to go. Once seated, he immediately gave us a menu with all of the history and origin of their teas, followed by a description of their taste and qualities, and also a sample of tea on the house. I am so in love with Quebec City. Everywhere you go, there is Québécois French and still everyone here is pretty fluent in English as well, and the service is just impeccable. I felt welcomed here. Great place to relax. Highly would recommend if visiting Quebec City and you are a tea lover!!

NO 1 HIGH TEA RESTAURANT IN MONTREAL…read more Last weekend I went with my wife and friend for high tea to celebrate my 61st birthday. By far this restaurant outshines any other restaurant serving high tea. The food is all handmade and very tasty. Christine the owner and host was very attentive and did not make us have to ask for anything. The prices are reasonable and they have a variety of drinks for everybody. Reservations are required and I would advise that you book 1 week in advance. The ambiance is set up like your living room in your house with sofas and chairs and is a very relaxing atmosphere. Do not hesistate to go for high tea. The drive to the west island is very nice and you can go along lakeshore all the way to the restaurant. Parking is free and easy to find. Highly recommended.

Instantly we were charmed by the warmth of the decor. Their tea semollier walked us through all the choices of brew possible for that day making recommendations to accompany the Rosie-Lanoi's offerings of scrumptious bites and bits from their monthly menu. All the tea snacks were attractive & tasty. Such a lovely experience, great service and cozy atmosphere so much so that I'm now hosting a baby shower there this summer. I'm confident the Tea service will be outstanding and our precious family event will settle into a delightfully memorable moment for all... especially the expectant mother, my daughter.

You would need to pay for access to the park in order to visit the tea room but it is absolutely worth it! Being a huge fan of teas and sweet treats, the cafe was a great motivation to get me to do a 2hr hike. Seeing the perfect picturesque building with its snow-capped roof from afar, it truly was like the light at the end of the tunnel! It was such a treat to walk into the inviting dimly-lit rustic barn-style tea room which was buzzing with people. Inside there is plenty of seating; my favourite being the cozy and peaceful large fireplace area. There are plenty of drinks and treats to choose from, from a variety of loose leaf teas to coffees and gourmet hot chocolate (which seemed the most popular). The barista was super friendly and let me whiff a few of the chai teas - they definitely have a great selection. I had a spicy chai which hit the spot and warmed me up after hiking in the cold. All their pastries come from Pains & Saveurs (which is THE best on the South Shore) and they even have a tempting selection of biscotti and macarons. If you want to avoid the long walk from the main entrance, the tea house can be accessed via the back entrance to the park. Highly recommend if you are in the area!
