Do you love to go for a good high tea in Amsterdam? To be honest, I like a high tea more than having breakfast or lunch somewhere. A high tea gives you that special on top of the world feeling, if you know what I mean. You can taste a lot of savoury and sweet snacks, and sweet tooth me can tell you that that’s one of the most amazing things in the world. But where can you find the tastiest high tea in Amsterdam? Check our favourite spots in Amsterdam for a high tea!

AMSTELHOTEL
Enjoy a delightful afternoon tea at the Amstel Hotel, perhaps with the most beautiful view in Amsterdam. On a sunny day, book a table outside on the balcony and relish in watching all the boats sail by on the Amstel.

Waldorf
Together with the afternoon tea at The Duchess the afternoon tea at the Waldorf is the best in town when you ask us. What a joy to eat all the delights! This afternoon tea is perfect when you have something special to celebrate, because the Waldorf is very chic.
Herengracht 542, Amsterdam – Waldorf
Majesteit Taart
In A Amsterdam East you’ll find Majesty Cake, one of my favourite spots for a high tea. You can choose between an extensive or a less elaborate version, and even if you don’t have the entire afternoon, this place is perfect. Highly recommended!

L’Europe
At Hotel L’Europe, you can enjoy a nice afternoon tea. From sweet to savoury, you can order it all. During the afternoon tea, you can enjoy the view over the Amstel, a great place to spend an afternoon, in my opinion!

The Duchess
The afternoon tea at The Duchess is a culinary party. What starts with figuring out which tea you want to taste. The dishes include dishes like a wellington with chicken, brioche croutons with egg and truffle that change regularly, and believe it or not homemade candy floss. You can even order a high tea with 20 different snacks!

Grand Café Krasnapolsky
Another favourite high tea can be ordered at Grand Café Krasnapolsky. In addition to tea, you’ll receive traditional homemade scones, hors d’oeuvres from the counter, and mini sandwiches. Of course, sweet sugar creations from the Cake Room and, if you fancy, a glass of champagne. Hmm!
