East: Ming Tao Xuan Tea House is a lovely authentic Chinese tea house located in Old Montreal and is totally worth the visit. The menu they give you is all of teas, and the food menu is one page! Literally, the have a large selection of Asian teas, and 6 food items, which are all vegetarian options. The veggie buns were AWESOME! and so was the tea. My favourite part of this experience was the great service. The friendly staff brings your tea and shows you what to do with all the little teapots that come to you on a spill platter. I had a great mountain green tea that had a sweet aftertaste. Only problem is that I don't remember the name, but it was great. I didn't have to add sugar, which is good because there wasn't any.
West: Cafe London Bus, near Westmount Square offers a great, but modest and affordable English-style afternoon tea experience. For $12.50 you get a pot of tea, which they will refill with water, cucumber sandwich, scones and a variety of sweet desserts and fruit. My friends and I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time at this confortable but large cafe. The very friendly and accomodating staff sets up a table in one booths, set it with a white table clothe, flowers and china tea cups and saucers. Everything is made in house and smells wonderful. We tried the soups as well, and they were delicious.
