What a wonderful experience! Went here for a mother daughter high tea experience and it went above our expectations! First, the atmosphere is adorable. So much effort has gone into tasteful decorations, table settings, and even the little golden box the bill came in. Second, the servers were very attentive and friendly. Took the time to explain the options and dishes. Third, the food and tea were all top notch. We loved the curated kids tower and extra mug of whimsical sparkly cotton candy! Every item was delicious! Highly recommended experience!

They do holiday themes! The Halloween was so worth it, so thoughtful and delicious. All the bites we’re curated to fall and the decoration was unreal

Outstanding high tea experience! I booked the vegan experience and I was blown away. Service - amazing, staff - amazing, food - amazing! We were seated and chose our teas, everything came in a timely manner. The teapot was chipped at the spout, so we requested a new one and the staff happily switched it out. The tiered plates came out and we were in awe. Everything was explained perfectly and no two items were the same. My favourite was the little vegan whipped egg tart. We came during their Halloween special, and it came with a surprise + beautiful decor. Excellent experience!

Very good afternoon tea experience in the heart of Vieux Montréal. I like the idea of the afternoon tea menu being available during lunch hour and to treat it as a meal. Halloween-themed afternoon tea when we visited. There was a convention nearby that day so it was packed during lunch hour.

We went for the Halloween experience and it was truly a transcendent experience. The staff was dressed up and they even had some dry ice smoke to add to the experience! It was really fun! The food was delicious and very on-theme. I could truly not recommend this place enough.

We were a large group with two 6-yr old girls. Menus were exquisite. Decor was spooky 😉, a little hocus pocus on our plates Service was excellent. Attention to detail on point (black and orange jelly beans, black cracker in the shape of a bat...)

Absolutely amazing experience, the atmosphere is so fun and they have incredible food. Also they are amazing at accommodating both Celiac and Vegetarian food options, I did not feel like I missed out on anything with my GF tray. Tea is incredible, golden latte was incredible, nothing bad to say at all.

The seasonal menu was outstanding, flavors were amazing. The attention to detail on both the menu and the decor was perfect. We had five in our party, including one who had the gluten-free menu. Everyone loved the tea they selected and we left feeling very full. The service was outstanding and we had a great time!

Super cute space. Very well decorated and cozy. We had the pleasure of attending with the Halloween decorations in full splendure. The food was delicious, the service impeccable. I just find the pricing a bit high, but deffinitely recommend for a wonderful afternoon outing!

Not impressed. I have had high tea in Kuala Lumpur that blew my socks off. This place was just meh. The best thing on the menu was the two mini scones. Mini is the operative word as everything is tiny. All the other flavors were strange combinations that didn't quite hit. I would expect unlimited tea for the price and they seem to want to nickle and dime extras including extra tea. They should do some research on high tea experiences and try harder.

Paparmane is located close to Old Montreal and Place d’Armes, and the service was phenomenal! Every single person made me feel welcome and the service was quick and top notch! The food was absolutely delicious as well. When I come back to Montreal and want afternoon tea, I would happily go back to Paparmane!

We went for an early seating, 10:00 on a Sunday. It was delicious. We had two classic tea services and a prosecco spritz to start. All three tiers were delicious. I liked the savory tier the best. Salmon cucumber sandwich, mini roast beef sandwich, a French toast bite and a savory mini-biscuit with a savory filling. The scones were divine, they had plain and white chocolate and tea flavored, the sweets were a little too sweet for me but clearly hand made and decadent. They had a marscapone cream instead of a clotted cream if you care about that, but I actually liked it more. 100% a great place for a special treat.
