Tearoom Gryphon D'or

This place is honestly one of my favourites in Montreal. Not only are they the best Scones in town, they also have amazing stews, desserts and tea. A tiny hole-in-the-wall place, Gryphon D'or has all the quaint charm of the cafés of yesteryear. There are board games and they are starting activities on Saturday nights (like group knitting, and I am so there). The food is what my momma would make of she were a better cook. The service is absolutely exceptional. The owner, Donna, knows everyone's name, presumably by magic. Go here! Order a hot butterscotch (trust me).

5.0 for the BEST SCONE in MONTREAL!!! :3 (in my humble opinion).<br/ I've tried their afternoon tea set (twice , with and without desserts). Still, what impresses me the most is the wonderfulness of its scones.<br/ <br/ My friends said that their lunch options are very good as well, (i.e. the meat loaf burger would be one of the names that popped up, if I recall correctly)<br/ <br/ so that would be what I look forward to the next time I visit there!

I live around NDG, so I often visit Monkland for a coffee, a trip to Lucille's Oyster Dive, or for some froyo. This time, I ventured onto one of my favourite avenues for an afternoon tea at the cozy Gryphon D'Or Tea Room with some of my favourite girls! Gryphon D'Or Tea Room is quaint and homey. Take a seat on a wooden bench and ask to look through their selection of loose-leaf teas. Decide whether you will have a full afternoon tea served with scones, sandwiches, a pot of tea and desserts, or just a Dessert Tea, which is served with scones, a pot of tea, and desserts. You could also choose to order brunch, dessert, or any of their daily specials on their own. Loose-Leaf Teas We arrived later in the day and had already eaten lunch, so we decided to go with the Dessert Tea. First, a basket of warm scones arrived with butter, lemon curd, homemade jam, and heavy cream. I could have eaten the entire basket myself. My pot of vanilla-orange tea went perfectly with the citrusy lemon curd. Next, a two-tiered display of desserts was set down in front of us. Slightly unsure of how to tackle this extensive dessert tray, we decided just to dig in. There were assorted tea squares, shortbread cookies, chocolate mocha cake, strawberry shortcake, and mini apple crumbles. Vanilla-Orange Loose-Leaf Tea Scones with Lemon Curd, Cream, Butter, and Homemade Jam Desserts Everything was delicious and I could not think of a better way to spend my Sunday afternoon than by sipping on warm tea, enjoying freshly baked desserts, and catching up with friends. Not to mention, the ent

Great service, good food. The Gryphon d'or is a quite small restaurant and very narrow, it kind of looks like someone's home. But the staff is very welcoming and attentive. I had the afternoon tea menu with some friends and it was pretty good. The scones with cream and their jam is delicious. The sandwiches were egg salad and cucumber, it was a bit ordinary, like something you could just make yourself for lunch at work. The desserts were delicious, but 2 of them were a bit too similar to the scone's toppings (cream, jam and lemon curd).<br/ <br/ Because of the size of the restaurant, you should really call and reserve your table in advance. While we were there, we saw a few people turned away.

The Gryphon D’or Tearoom has been serving great comfort food for approximately twenty-one years on Monkland Avenue in the borough of Notre Dame de Grace. They are known for having some of the best scones in Montreal. But it does not stop here, the small yet cozy quaint tearoom, also now serves late breakfasts and brunch, lunch and take-out. It is the perfect place for a quiet break, fantastic homemade meals or a just a pot of tea with friends and family.
