Club Mount Stephen [Tea room]
1440 rue Drummond; 514-485-5729
According to Anne Sutherland's article in Montreal Gazette,
February 17, 2002: "English high [sic] tea with a tour and historical
talk by Johanne King every Wednesday at 3pm, provided enough people
signed up." By the description given, it is an afternoon tea that
will cost $24 per person: "Tea consists of delicate sandwiches,
homemade scones served with clotted Devonshire cream and jam, small
cakes and petits fours all washed down with tea or coffee." (by
KH) March 2002. Updated May 2002 (by KH): According to Ricardo
Larivée, in La Presse, May 9, 2002:**
"Pour prendre le thé au Club Mount Stephen, on doit réserver. Après tout,
c'est un club privé. Mme King nous reçoit dans le grand salon où, contrairement à la tradition, les petits sandwichs et autres gourmandises sont présentés en buffet. Pour les gourmands,
c'est super. On ne compte plus les pointes de sandwich au concombre mangées ou les tasses de thé
sirotées.
Le thé à l'anglaise est servi en fonction des réservations, du lundi au
vendredi, et exceptionnellement, samedi prochain, pour la fête des
mères. Si vous préférez la formule brunch, le Club Mount Stephen propose un brunch spécial pour le dimanche de la fête des
mères.
Pour prendre le thé à l'anglaise Le Club Mount Stephen ,1440, rue Drummond à
Montréal.
Le thé à l'anglaise est servi seulement sur réservation les jours de semaine pour 24,95$.
Contactez Madame King au (514) 485-5729. Pour le brunch : (514) 849-7338.
Note: Originally the Club was open only Wednesday afternoons. Now it seems to be opened, by reservation only, all weekdays.
**English translation: Reservations are necessary for tea at
Club Mount Stephen. After all, this is a private club. Mme King
greeted us in the grand salon, where a tea of finger sandwiches and
other delicacies was served, rather untraditionally, in buffet style
-- a boon for big eaters, as no one counts the number of cucumber sandwiches or
cups of tea one consumes! English tea, at CDN $24.95, is served Monday
through Friday by reservation only; contact Mme King. On Mother's Day
there is a special Saturday tea, as well as a Sunday
brunch.
Update: Closed summers, as are all private clubs in Montréal.
Afternoon teas and guided tours resume in September. (by KH) 3G
