EC Montreal currently has two Japanese students, Kaori and Marina, participating in our plus programme, English and Gastronomy. They have many exciting gastronomy sessions planned during their stay including cooking lessons, pastry making, food tours and tastings. Yesterday, we took them for high tea at the famous Ritz Carlton as a gastronomy session. When the Ritz-Carlton Montreal opened in 1912 it became known for its legendary style, impeccable service and tradition for serving afternoon tea and high tea. Today, guests can take tea amidst the elegance of the famous Palm Court, served along with homemade canapés, scones and pastries. It was an incredible treat. We were blown away by the service, the glamorous surroundings and delicious bites. It was lovely spending time with our students and learning more about them and discussing their love of food. We can’t wait to hear all about their upcoming gastronomy experiences.
