With the holiday season coming up, a chunk of you, my fine readers, have family and friends dropping in from out of town. But once the big holiday dinner is over, you'll be scratching your heads over what to do now. Naturally, I'm assuming you'll be bringing them shopping downtown, maybe drop by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to show them all 30,000+ objects viewable free of charge.

So naturally, I thought, since you're shopping downtown and visiting the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, why not experience a traditional, authentic afternoon tea time at one of these Montreal high tea destinations, all located within close proximity?

Actually, that's a lie. I thought of nothing. You try to find a clever segue for a piece on afternoon tea without putting yourself to sleep.
