text: While I am not usually the biggest fan of eating in hotel restaurants particularly in Montreal where there is an abundance of good spots all over the place I must make the exception for Le Montrealais I came for the afternoon tea and it was an excellent experience It costs about but once in a while it is worth the splurgennThe waiter brings out a variety of teas at the beginning to allow you to sniff them and decide on which one you want They have a pretty good selection and it is hard to choose just one In the end I opted for something traditional like Earl Gray which hit the spotnnFoodwise they bring out a variety of traditional tea foods like finger sandwiches scones and pastries The cucumber watercress sandwich was quite good and the scones were divine They were served still warm and had a fluffy interior but a crisp exterior Pastrywise the strawberry tart was pretty good I was not the biggest fan of the crust but the pastry cream and strawberries made up for it I also quite enjoyed the macarons
