mariage frères - maison de thé • 15 comments • Yay for Lindsey who writes a blog about Paris and suggested Mariage Frères for tea. We thought that we'd just be stopping in for a sip or two but ended up spending the better part of our morning there, looking through the museum (more on that tomorrow), the tea shop, and enjoying a leisurely brunch. C'est magnifique!
le maître chocolatier • 21 comments • The salon de thé and chocolate shop, Le Maître Chocolatier, on rue Sherbrooke, in Montreal, was a perfect spot to have some afternoon tea. I sampled their thé noir aux citrons d'italie, while Alex chose thé vert parfumé rose et fraise. They didn't serve the typical finger sandwiches, but they did have a unique take on the regular cucumber tea sandwich, and a variety of other amuse bouches. Our favourite was the hummus and baked tomato on toast points - so simple that we've made them, at home, several times since (because they were unbelievably good). Alex enjoyed his unusual tea with rose petals and strawberries so much that we picked up a canister to go. - Mina
