| - I have nothing but good things to say about Le Parloir. Though I do have some words of warning: don't bring your rambunctious toddler here like I did. Not that anyone would make a fuss: the ladies working were amazing and the fellow customers seemed delighted by him. The staff provided a high chair, a tiiiiiny milk bottle and paper straw, and overall treated my little man like a king. And he loved the food! But meanwhile I was on edge, making sure he didn't grab anything unsafe, or eat the salt right out of the salt shaker, because apparently my kid loves salt. He's pretty special. But tiny baby? Well behaved small child that would be delighted to go to a tea party? Bring 'em along! It will be a great experience!
A friend and I were investigating having a baby shower here, so we each got the "Plateau de the" to try it out. Five sweet and five savory treats, served on a three tier platter and a pot of tea of your choice. So good! I'm still imagining the warm scone, served with cream and preserves. Everything else was great too: cucumber sandwiches, duck confit on toasted bread, Pana cotta and on and on. I could see myself slipping over on a rare free afternoon to drink tea, eat scones and read by myself. Paradise!
The decor is just gorgeous. Lots of food, fancy china, fresh flowers. Nestled into the mostly residential Christophe Colomb near Marie-Anne, it's a little treasure!
