My lovely Friend Lindsey who visited from the united states booked us a beautiful afternoon tea at the The Duchess in Amsterdam.
The duchess hosts not only a beautiful tearoom but also a bar, and a restaurant where you can experience the delicious Nouveau Niçoise Cuisine.
The etablissement is full of glamour and elegance of the Belle Époque. Our Tea was wonderful and the service was excellent.
We were served Strawberries with balsamic marinade, a various sandwiches such as Cumin seed flatbread with smoked salmon, Wellington with chicken and duxelle and “caviar” or Grilled Focaccia with tomato salsa and iberico ham. Quiche with shrimps and leek with herb salad, Kingcrab with mango chutney Croquettes.
Scones with Clotted cream, orange marmalade and raspberry marmalade and various sweets like, Panna cotta, Moscato D’asti and melon, Macarons, raspberry cheesecake, Cotton candy, Chocolate box with Frangelico and much more.
As usual I ordered the Milky Blue tea with my afternoon tea which is a fragrance of melted chocolate with gianduja blended with passion fruit, lychee and coconut rice together with notes of chestnut but also tried the Wedding imperial which is a Malty Assam tea with subtle notes of chocolate and caramel and the Fuji Yama, a Green tea for connoisseurs grown near mount Fuji.
I know for sure I will stop by at my next visit of Amsterdam, it was a wonderful evening with wonderful friends.
