Went here for my partners birthday and it was so so lovely! Such a cozy spot in Montreal especially in the snow. We both really enjoyed the food and selection of tea to choose from. Staff were super kind and attentive throughout! read more

Maybe it is the colder weather or just the holiday season that makes me want to go for afternoon tea in late fall. Although there are a few high-end options walking distance from my hotel, it is the tea parlors like Le Parloir that gives me a more authentic experience. Such a great value in a cute tea parlor where each person gets their own tower and tea choice. Tea sandwiches, scones, sweets including a macaron, the offerings are always a deciding factor and they definitely had me at foie gras canapé and duck confit crostini. Everything was made downstairs and brought right upstairs for us to enjoy and those little touches like an hour-glass to remind you when your tea is fully steeped is what makes this one of my favorite tea experiences of all time. read more

Super cute decor and soft music created a cozy atmosphere. It was late afternoon on a weekday and I was able to introvert & recharge by reading a book and indulging in a yummy afternoon tea. In addition to the standards of cucumber sandwich and scones, I was impressed with the foie grais and duck confit options. Great selection of teas and liked the service. read more

Le Parloir - Tea Rooms Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A great afternoon tea option, should make a reservation as there is very limited seating. For $30 you get a 3 tier item with desserts, sandwiches, scones, and even chocolate and macaroons. Comes with a pot of tea and there is a HUGE selection of teas to choose from The tea shop is quiet and tucked away in a local area and is a hidden gem in the city. Very filling items that could skip lunch for sure The foie gros sandwich and the duck confit is AMAZING and shockingly amazing given the price point read more

I really don't drink alcohol or coffee, or get my nails done, but I do have one indulgence - tea. As in, the tea experience with the tiered serving platter and the finger sandwiches and the desserts. Oh, the desserts... But I digress. Starting recently I have decided to go to high tea when on vacation, starting with Montreal. Le Parloir wasn't super frilly with hats to try on. It was a little more modern but still fun. The husband and I each had the $26 tea. I was hoping to get my 6-year-olds a teddy bear tea or whatever is the Montreal equivalent, but they didn't offer that. So we had the kids share a $26 tea. They ate everything. First there were the savories. (Or as the French-speaking owner cutely called them until her daughter corrected her, "the salties.)" My husband and I skipped the ham and cheese and the foie gras and got more of the others. My favorite was the duck confit on crostini. I had my doubts since it was served cold, but my concerns disappeared when I tasted it. Topped with a dab of jam, it was really good. It was my daughter's favorite, too. Next best was the smoked salmon with cream cheese. It was delicate and just right. The cream cheese and cucumber was adorable and cut into a heart. However, it was still just a basic cream cheese and cuke. The kids liked their ham and cheese. The next tier was my favorite: a scone and a panna cotta. The scone was more like a biscuit or a shortcake, and it was a big hit at the table. The owners said she made them. I would have preferred that they be served hot, but they were still good. They came with jam and everyone's serving tray had a different flavor. Three of the four of us preferred raspberry - the other jams were strawberry and blueberry. I had my first panna cotta in my late 30s. My twins have now had theirs at age 6. This panna cotta was passion fruit-flavored and topped with (I think) graham cracker crumbles. It was one of my favorite sweets of the day. The top tier was my least favorite overall but still really good. I am mentioning my quibbles below, but it should be known that the husband thought they were all perfect. Each of us had a different flavored chocolate. (Pistachio might be the standard but my daughter is allergic so they gave us others.) Mine was sea salt and I felt the saltiness overwhelmed the chocolate. The lemon curd tartlet with poppy seeds was fine, though I felt like I needed something to cut the lemon curd taste (perhaps a ginger cookie?) The last sweet was a macaron. We each got either a cherry or blueberry one, and they were very good - and for the most part better than those at Paillard (a bakery in Quebec City known for their macarons). Oh yeah, the tea! The tea is always less important to me than the food so it's easy for me to forget. Our rooibos rosemary tea (I think that's what it was) was only okay, the chai better. There wasn't an obvious sweet fruity tea for the kids so we got them the vanilla-y Earl Grey, but they were uninterested. We all got a cutely packaged tea pot-shaped shortbread cookie to take home. Our trip to Le Parloir began with us driving to Montreal from Quebec City, barely checking into our Air BnB and hurrying off to Le Parloir for a 2:30 reservation. We were the only ones there. It was really nice having a relaxing afternoon at Le Parloir. The mom and daughter owner and servers were very sweet. My own daughter declared she wanted to work there one day. When asked she said she wanted to be a cook and then changed her mind to be a server. I'm the tea person so I was surprised when my husband announced that he'd like for our final lunch of the trip be at Le Parloir. (Clearly I need to take him with me to tea more often if he's this willing.) That sounded great to me too, but unfortunately when I called I discovered that they were closed for the week.

In the two years since we first visited Le Parloir, Superwoman and I (tea nuts that we are) have had afternoon tea in multiple places at multiple price points - in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Taipei, and Hong Kong. And still, we'd put Le Parloir in first place - it's absolutely the best and our favourite afternoon tea spot. First of all, the food quality and presentation are just out of this world. In every place we go to, there's bound to be 1-4 items I don't like that much or are just ok, but I love everything they serve at Le Parloir. I still fantasize about the duck confit and the foie gras and the passionfruit panna cotta and the buttery shortbread cookie and the marvelous pineapple jam we had there. *heart eyes emoji* Then there's presentation. The way a tea service is put together tells you a lot about the chef/owner of a tea room, and the way the food is presented - as well as the way the place is decorated - is just so lovely, and speaks to the great taste of the owner. I mean, the taste level tends to be more sophisticated in Montreal in many things - fashion, window dressing, food, etc. - and Le Parloir really exemplifies it. The cucumber open-faced sandwiches are so pretty, and the china and furniture, though they don't necessarily match, look really beautiful together, like they were all meant to be together, even though they are not part of a set. The food especially makes it clear that everything about this place is put together with such care and pride. (Side note: I'm honestly surprised that anyone would find it shocking that two adults aren't meant to share one tea service. Wouldn't everyone just go out of business if we all did that??? How tacky.) This place is a must-go whenever Superwoman and I are in town for leisure, and I can't wait to return! read more

Great little place. Very quiet and intimate. The teas are great and diverse. The scones are too good for jam, but insane with the Devon cream. The platters are delightful, a good variety of high quality nibbles. I would return in a heartbeat. read more

My fave place for afternoon tea!!! It's such a cute little place. Perfect place for gossiping hohoho. They have many teas to choose from and make u smell them before choosing. The afternoon tea set comes with the usual: the salty bites, the scones and some sweets. They serve smoked salmon, foie gras and duck on the salty platter and they're so good. The scones come with homemade jam and if you come with friends, you can taste different jams. On top they have macarons and some small pastries. The staff there is very friendly. The place is small so make sure you reserve before coming here!!! read more

Little cozy place for afternoon tea! Liked the fact that they let us smell the tea before ordering it. The price is reasonable (26$ for the high tea).

They have a great selection of tea and it's also BYOB, should you want to share a bottle with friends. They do have a selection of foods for vegetarians and vegans, so it's perfect for diverse foodies. Definitely recommend it! read more

I ll go for high tea any day. I went here with a friend for brunch on Sunday, it is cosy space with few seats available so you have to reserve if you want a spot for the weekend. We took the multi platter brunch menu. The food was delicious. The ambiance is super chill and nicely decorated. read more

An excellent small tea house to sit and enjoy numerous and delicious varieties of tea. They have pastries as well as small sandwiches as far as food goes, but the highlight is the afternoon tea. The decour is beautiful and cozy. If your tea lover, you will love the new loose tea kettles and tea cups available on the table set up as well as on the shelves. To top it off, they allow you to smell the tea before you choose which one you would like. The afternoon tea set up can be set up for one or however many people you have in your party. The sandwiches and the pastries available on the tree or a nice variety including salmon, turkey, ham, and beef. The sweets ranged from tangy lemon, to pistachio, to an amazingly flavorful passion fruit. I am very glad I discovered Le Parloir before my holiday in Montreal was over! read more

So glad I found and made reservations for Le Parloir. Our group of six gals very much enjoyed our time here. The space is small and cute. I loved the square-ish table so we all were able to see each other and conversely easily. Service was great and helpful. We got three orders and shared them. Their jam was amazing, and we really enjoyed all the cute offerings. It was also great on their instruction of timing the tea with their timer on how dense we wanted it. They have vegetarian/vegan options and it's all very affordable, at least compared to high tea in the States. Le Parloir is a gem. We stayed for quite awhile, and our waters were always replenished and never felt rushed. read more

The best tea experience I ever had in Montreal. Cozy, well designed, warm, friendly and welcoming. Smiling staff who are ready to help and address your questions on a variety of teas available to serve. On weekends you can order a plate with ten items, five sweet and five salé. Worth ordering and enough for two people. A small tea pot comes with the plate. A sand clock tells you when your tea in well infused and ready to drink. The best part is the cups and saucers. Beauuutiful :) read more

A cozy tea house on the Plateau where you can enjoy an afternoon tea. They have a good selection of tea to choose from and it's served in beautiful china. I recommend trying the tea package, which includes a tea of your choice, 5 savory bouchées (the classic cucumber sandwich, foie gras toast, duck confit toast, ham sandwich, and a smoked salmon sandwich) and, 5 sweet desserts (the scone with Devonshire cream & strawberry or blueberry jam, a mini tart, a macaron, mango panna cotta and a chocolate. The service from the owner and the waitress was great, and they're very nice. When you pay the bill, they give you cookies to bring home. :) read more

Very cute, cozy and feminine tea room with a good choice of high quality teas. Try not to become obsessed with their scones... It's light, fluffy and buttery...seriously mind blowing! I've been making batches of scones at home to replicate the goodness but to no avail! There is only a dozen tables so it is an intimate atmosphere. Smiling and friendly service. The only thing I saw that puzzled me is the mess that was tucked in a corner of the room... Anyway, it's a really nice tea room and I'll definitely be back! read more

Best high tea in Montreal for 26$ per person!! Le parloir is one of Montreal's beat kept secrets. It's an intimate Victorian tea room on the plateau. Make a reservation in advance! Tea came with high end sandwiches such as foie gras, shredded confited duck and the classic cucumber and ham sandwiches. Homemade scones with real clotted cream and excellent desserts and chocolates. The best part is they offer an excellent completely gluten free option for Celiac's. They make all the sandwiches on GF bread, they have a GF scone and GF chocolates. Absolutely delicious. We stayed 2.5 hours and we were not rushed at all, we could have even stayed longer. read more

We're from the states and we came to Montreal to celebrate my birthday. We've only been to one high tea place in NYC and this place definitely takes the crown. It has such a cozy feel to it right when you walk in the room. Let's not forget the huge amount of choices for tea you get to choose from. We couldn't choose between brunch or afternoon tea so we ordered both. With that, comes with two pots of tea. Everything was perfection! We loved it so much that we bought a bag of tea to bring home. Hope to come back here again! read more

A cozy tea room. I went as a group of 4 on a weekday afternoon and there was plenty of space. They have a good variety of tea options, but I almost always order jasmine tea wherever I go because it's my absolute favourite. They do bring out all the tins of tea and let you smell them, which I really appreciate. Service was very friendly. We all ordered a tea set. I wasn't a big fan of the sandwiches though, but I really liked the variety of the options (e.g. macaron, panna cotta). Not my favourite afternoon tea place, but it's a great option if you're a big tea fan for their variety. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Le Parloir. Though I do have some words of warning: don't bring your rambunctious toddler here like I did. Not that anyone would make a fuss: the ladies working were amazing and the fellow customers seemed delighted by him. The staff provided a high chair, a tiiiiiny milk bottle and paper straw, and overall treated my little man like a king. And he loved the food! But meanwhile I was on edge, making sure he didn't grab anything unsafe, or eat the salt right out of the salt shaker, because apparently my kid loves salt. He's pretty special. But tiny baby? Well behaved small child that would be delighted to go to a tea party? Bring 'em along! It will be a great experience! A friend and I were investigating having a baby shower here, so we each got the "Plateau de the" to try it out. Five sweet and five savory treats, served on a three tier platter and a pot of tea of your choice. So good! I'm still imagining the warm scone, served with cream and preserves. Everything else was great too: cucumber sandwiches, duck confit on toasted bread, Pana cotta and on and on. I could see myself slipping over on a rare free afternoon to drink tea, eat scones and read by myself. Paradise! The decor is just gorgeous. Lots of food, fancy china, fresh flowers. Nestled into the mostly residential Christophe Colomb near Marie-Anne, it's a little treasure! read more

Great tea experience awaits those seaking out inported teas. Confusing menus which are offered at different times of the day. A tea platter costing $26 cannot be shared. If your guest touches anything on that platter they are billed $4 for sharing. This penalty or fine or more like price gauging just ruined my visit. Owner says that Ritz doesn't allow sharing but she does for $4. There is a reason why I don't go to the Ritz and now I have a reason not to come here either. Imagine the revolt a fast food company would face if they charged you for sharing your fries? I'm not sure who started sharing fees but its time for them to go. read more

A very tight place filled with many different tea sets and tea pots. Since the tea house is small, it can get quite noisy fast. I experienced the afternoon tea with some finger foods and pastries. The salty side of the platter (finger sandwiches, duck pâté & duck shredded meat on breads) were more tasty than the sweets (macarons, chocolate, tartelette, panna cotta & scone). read more

Charming, quaint and delicate are but a few of the adjectives that come to mind when enjoying tea and scones at Le Parloir. This adorable tea house, is situated somewhere at the intersection of British high tea and French flair. Every design element comes together to create a beautiful and delicate space. The scones, made in house, are to die for, and come with house imported clotted cream - and I mean the real deal. Having lived in the UK, I can vouch for it! They also serve the full high tea experience with cucumber sandwiches and delicate finger food. We came with friends and had such a lovely afternoon, drinking posh tea and little "bouches". It was delightful. The tea selection was nice and the service exactly what you'd expect, thoughtful yet distant, like all good British waiters. I feel like this would be the perfect place to plan a baby shower. So, you never know ;) read more

Le Parloir - Tier tray - Tea Rooms Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

One snowy Montreal afternoon, my three gal pals and I ventured to Le Parloir for a birthday afternoon tea celebration. Upon arrival we were struck by the emptiness of the place (only two other diners!!) however this was probably due to the combination of the weather and the fact that it was a weekday. The first step in our journey was the box containing a plethora of teas (however 3 of us still stuck with the classic English breakfast tea!!) This added to the authenticity of the experience and we were pleased to all receive a pot of tea each with a nifty timer to indicate when it's ready! Our cake stands containing our afternoon teas arrived and we giggled with glee!! The first tier consisted of a selection of savoury nibbles. This includes a delicious duck bite, a classic cucumber sandwich, a homey ham and cheese, a sublime salmon sandwich and a poignant pâté. These were a delightful savoury start to the afternoon. The following tier contained my personal favourite, a scrumptious warm scone with the perfect accompaniment of jam and cream. In addition to this, we were given a creamy yet light passionfruit panna cotta that just hit the spot! The final tier was the ideal ending to what was already a marvellous meal. Flavours varied from person to person, where we all received a chocolate bite, a mouth-watering macaron and a tasty tart. Although a wonderful experience, we cannot forgo the service. After many hours of chatting and gossiping in Le Parloir, we could not help but notice the lack of urgency and attention amongst the servers. Because of this, I will reward Le Parloir a strong score of 4/5. read more

It has a feeling of cozy, nice airy feeling . The tea package was great 25$ . There is a wide variety of tea to choose from and if you're not quite sure,there is a box of tea samples to sniff from. I chose the Provencel it was delightful. There are sandwiches and salads to add to your menu as well, but Iwas quite full. The scone is absolutely tasty! The service at the beginning was nice the girl explained everything that was on the tea package. However she never came once to ask if everything was ok .It was my first time there and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere dispite being ignored. The location was a bit hard to find if you don't live in the area. read more

Beautiful little place that's located on Mont-Royal. What I'm impressed about is the freshness and quality of the food all around. We ordered the usual platters for high tea, plus one vegetarian/pescaterian for my partner and a vegan for me. I went there with 3 men (father, brother, boyfriend) who love their coffee and tea and no complaints were heard that day! If you wish to try the decadent vegan platter, make a reservation before because everything must be prepared ahead of time. I can only speak to the vegan and vegetarian platters I tried: they're delicious! I was surprised how good the vegan food was, it's the best little bouchées (salty + sweet) you wish you could eat, all on this three tier stand! The owner explained to me that she created this stand with the help of her vegan daughter, after she saw something similar in Britain. We're glad her daughter brought this English-Vegan idea back to our country! Thanks from the vegan community as this is a must try! Fall is coming, next rainy day bring your best friend and talk all afternoon ;) read more

I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE high tea. And this place gave me an absolutely wonderful experience of it. I was there for a girl's day out and we had made reservations for brunch, and it's a good thing we did because this place was kinda small and got filled fairly quickly. The place ressembles an old Victorian style cafe with old furniture and pretty looking tea settings. It isn't fancy like Birks', but it gave you a homey feel to it. For brunch, they, of course, had the brunch option as well as the regular high tea one. I was really hesitant as to which one to get because I just wanna try everything but also realise that I can't eat everything and I hate wasting food. Anyway, I opted for the high tea one, slightly more expensive than the brunch one, but had a couple of extra items in it. My favorite would be the duck. Just thinking about it makes me wanna go back, live haha and the scone! Everything was made fresh and tasted amazing. I was so hungry when I had gotten there and when I had initially saw the tray I was kinda worried, but boy was I wrong. I ate everything! I think it's cuz of all the carbs but they were sooo good! I'm really happy that I got to experience this little high tea place located in a hidden area in Mont-Royal. Would totally recommend for little intimate events such as mine. Will definitely go back again (hopefully soon haha) read more

Le Parloir - Looks so simple yet taste so delicious - Tea Rooms Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

What a delightful experience I had today going to Le Parloir with my daughter! The lady in charge, Mrs. Sylvie, has a memorable place to offer if you want to enjoy the Afternoon tea in the form of High Tea, a classic presentation like you would find in England. Located in Plateau Mont-Royal, I was impressed by how the owner had a warm attitude with her customers; so simple, elegant in style, pleasant to speak with, and very polite. Marion, the waitress, was also very devoted to her customers. The interior furnishings and decor remind us of the Victorian era, which create a beautiful and refined space - totally charming. We were grateful for the owner's kindness who shared with us the story of how she created this amazing place about 3 years ago - a very intimate little tea house. The High tea experience easily surpasses the ones at the Ritz, Holt Renfrew, Birks Cafe, and Le Cardinal. Le Parloir offers freshness, quality, and originality of food and tea. The tea is presented in loose leaves contrary to the tea bags offered in other places in Montreal which don't convey the authentic Camilia Sinensis flavours. Bravo to Mrs. Sylvie for your quaint tea house. It's a great place to visit and to enjoy delicious food. I was impressed by the variety in the presentation (heart-shaped cucumber finger sandwich!) and I'll definitively go back, maybe for Valentine's Day coming soon! Le Parloir is definitely 5 stars in my book. I have traveled to many places in the UK, the US and Canada to have High Tea, and now Le Parloir will rank as the first place in my heart as Mrs. Sylvie really knows to serve the High tea! Mrs. Sylvie created on her own this authentic and cozy place! It was a real pleasure to meet her and we will definitely return soon! read more

What a delight! Reasonably priced and amazing selection and qualities of tea. Excellent all around!
