Since September 2015, we've been welcoming the people of Petite-Patrie as if they were at home, with warmth, simplicity and good company.
You may have known us as La brume dans mes lunettes. The name got shorter, but nothing else has changed.
Everything is made on site, from the English breakfast to the tea tray and its faithful cucumber sandwich. We serve Fortnum & Mason teas, imported directly from the United Kingdom, and we choose our local ingredients with care. The result: a generous, varied and affordable menu, in a room where you'll want to settle in… and come back.
Welcome home, to brume.café.
Treat yourself to a proper English break: tea brewed in our silver teapots, and a three-tier tray filled with homemade bites.
Each one is enjoyed the traditional way: start with the savoury at the bottom, continue with the scones, and save the sweets for last.
Around 1840, Anna Russell, Duchess of Bedford and lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, found the afternoon long between lunch and an ever-later dinner. She had tea, small cakes and a few sandwiches brought up to her room, then began inviting her friends to join her. High society adopted the custom, and afternoon tea was born.
Over the 19th century, the tradition spread to every social class in different forms: low tea, taken in the sitting room, and high tea, a heartier meal eaten at the table at the end of the day.
Breakfast, brunch and lunch, made on site every day.
The kitchen is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.
Coming soon: online ordering for pickup. You'll be able to order before 4 p.m. the day before and pick up your order at the café.
All our recipes are prepared in an environment where gluten is present. We therefore cannot guarantee the absence of traces.
Some twenty teas and herbal teas, served by the pot: our Camellia Sinensis selections, Fortnum & Mason black teas and organic herbal teas from Tisanerie Mandala.
Tastet ranks us among the best tea rooms in Montréal, and our scones among the best in town.
More than ten years of loyal guests in Petite-Patrie.
Baby shower, birthday or get-together with friends: we host groups of 10 to 35 seated guests, up to 50 standing.
