You get a set menu with savoury bites on the bottom tier, two scones in the middle, and desserts on top. The menu changes from time to time, but everything is always delicious. They also have a great selection of teas. It's from the same team behind some of my fave brunch spots (Régine and Janine) so no surprise it's a hit! Expect to pay about $60/person for the regular high tea, before taxes and tip!

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.

As a seasoned foodie (and self‑proclaimed schnitzel whisperer), I sauntered into Bohemia with high…read morehopes and left on fleek. Here's the insider scoop: Schnitzel: Perfectly crisp, gold-fried, and so tender I may or may not have audibly moaned mid-bite. Goulash (for real gouoners): A hearty, rich stew that had my friends waxing poetic about Eastern Europe, right in the South Shore. Sides: Beets and seasonal veggies stole the show; bright, fresh, and seasoned like a chef who actually gives a damn. The décor is charmingly rustic-Bohemian: soft lighting, vintage accents, and enough character to make it feel like you stumbled into a cozy Prague café. It's welcoming, warm, and strangely enchanting. Only downside? They didn't have Pilsner Urquell on tap, and my dream Czech pairing dashed. But the food more than made up for it with flavor heavy enough to forgive a brewery oversight. Would I go back? Absolutely. Bohemia is a solid little European escape; right here in Brossard.

New breakfast spot for this residential neighborhood of Greenfield Park, steps away from the…read moreCharles-LeMoyne Hospital and the Taschereau Boulevard, lined with popular fast-food options. Newly opened on July 1st, the only Indian thing about Bombay is its name--it's not an Indian restaurant, but a cozy café run by friendly Mariana Chopova, the owner but also the only cook. Bombay builds its menu around eggs and chicken for the whole day. Although breakfast is served all day upon request, the main attraction of this restaurant is the chicken, marinated and roasted on-site in a roaster displayed near the entrance of the kitchen. Marinated for 24h then roasted by Mariana herself, the chicken, served in quarters with greens and pilaf rice or homies, is crisp on the outside and tender and lean on the inside, as expected. Subtedly salty, the main taste is the conforting smell of smoke, adding to the barbeque feel of the meat. I got the lunch with the pilaf rice instead of the homies, and although it's rather unconventional, the rice, cooked in chicken broth and served with peppers, was satisfyingly filling and represents an interesting carb option to accompany the meat. As for the greens, they are as expected. The chicken soup is made from homemade chicken broth, which explains the shreds of meat--a great surprise! Since I have a sweet tooth, I also tried the offered homemade dessert, which was an angel's cake (gâteau des anges) today, served with fresh grapes and blueberries under drips of syrup. The syrups were a bit overwhelming and made the dessert deceivingly normal, almost tasting like store-bought cakes. Since it was lunchtime, I didn't have the chance to try the breakfast - 1 or 2 eggs served with a choice of meat and a crêpe, for only $5 or so. Pastries and coffee, including espresso, are also sold. I will definitely comeback to try these meal options, since the service was friendly. It was a pleasant café to be seated in on his hot summer day, since the windows are large and that a patio is available. The decor might be a bit gaudy because of the dollar-store placemats, but the refurbished church benches used as seatings definitely complete the retro feel of this neighborhood café without making it look too overdone. The menu might be a but too simple as for now, but the neighborhood definitely needed an independent café and breakfast place, and it's definitely a good start for Mariana and her staff.

The fiance had the Champion, which consisted of feves au lard, cretons, bacon, 2 eggs, toast, and sausages. He finished his plate! The decor is kind of funny; sitting there reminded me of the previous restaurant, Avenidas.
