High Tea restaurants in Europe

    Stokes High Bridge Café

    A delightfully precarious-looking 16th-century half-timbered teashop.

  2. B

    Briton Arms Coffee House & Restaurant

    Romantics and traditionalists should make a beeline to this darling little 15th-century thatched cottage tearoom, overhanging cobbled Elm Hill and snug with wooden beams, rustic wooden benches and a little terraced garden. It serves classic English comfort food as well as good coffee and cakes.

    Schnoor Teestübchen

    If you can ignore the hint of twee tourist shop about it, this is a great place to indulge in Frisian tea-drinking rituals - putting huge crystals of sugar into your cup with tongs, or twirling honey into your char. Some local blends are wonderfully smooth, too.

    Sallyport Tea Rooms

    Just as a traditional teashop should be: homely, civilised, filled with fussy collectibles and serving up loose-leaf speciality teas and other old-fashioned tearoom delights to the strains of 1940s jazz.

    Casa de Chá Reposa

    An amazing tearoom with a view, crammed with interesting things for sale. A chandelier hung with tissue-paper-covered teapots dangles from the high stuccoed ceiling. Good cakes.

    Figaro

    More commonly referred to as 'The Tea Room', this neat café-cum-restaurant serves up traditional scones, jam and cream and it does some good lunchtime specials too.

    Crooked House of Windsor

    This little black-and-white house looks like it's had too much to drink. Enjoy a light lunch, a Royal cream tea (tea and scones with clotted cream and jam) or dinner (bring your own wine). A member of the Slow Food movement, which advocates healthy eating, this adorable restaurant sources its produce locally.
