The Palm Court At The Ritz-carlton

Went for high tea! Was absolutely stunning. Table decor, room, dishware... beautiful place. Delicious tiered munchies and tasty tea. Champagne great - though specify if you want MOUSSEUX ... the price difference is important. Highly recommend to try once ! Though... I've been to better, smaller tea houses for high tea.

If you are looking for an glamorous afternoon tea service ,the Palm Court at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal delivers an experience that is beyond service excellence. The ambience is very classy, quiet and very elegant. Our hostess was fantastic and professional, she talked us through the experience before we were served our food and fine selection of tea. We had the best, most relaxing two hours of tea and champagne service . My husband is British, he is well acquainted with the crème de la crème of afternoon tea services in London and he thoroughly enjoyed the tea service here. The Palm Court turns into a bar / lounge in the evenings, so you can stay on after tea for a lively atmosphere served with the best cocktails. Whenever I’m craving for a glamorous afternoon tea, I would happily fly down to Montreal and book the service at the Ritz-Carlton, it’s simply the best!

I greatly enjoyed my afternoon tea at the Palm Court. The room is beautiful. The service was top notch. The presentation of the tea service was lovely. They accommodated my gluten allergy wonderfully. I will be returning for certain. I will say that I felt the gf options for the tea were not as good as one can get from the Fairmont, so I removed one star for that. However, the service was perfect—attentive, but not rushing in any way. I imagine the experience would be 5 stars for the standard tea that includes gluten options.

We went there for Afternoon Tea and it was quite disappointing. The service was lacking and the food was soooo minimal. Usually, you’re allowed to get a sandwich refill and choose as many teas as you want. Not here! Sandwiches were good was so super tiny, scones were chewy and jam was not good. Desserts were ok. Wouldn’t recommend. For the price, it should be MUCH better.
