Afternoon Tea at Park Hyatt Zurich

We British are known for our preponderance for Afternoon Tea for a good reason. What better way to punctuate the long gap between lunch and dinner, than with a cup of China tea and some beautiful scones and clotted cream? And maybe a cluster of tiny sandwiches and a piece of cake? Oh, and since you mention it, if we’re celebrating, a glass of champagne wouldn’t go amiss either!

Afternoon Tea Season From October to March

In the UK, afternoon tea is served all year round, but here in Zurich it is only served during the Winter months. It’s rather a shame, but perhaps an even better reason to take advantage when  you can!

The Park Hyatt Zurich does a splendid afternoon tea. Served in the luxurious and very comfortable lobby, with a lovely log fire aglow in the background, it’s the perfect place to while away a pleasant afternoon.

The Étagère

An impressive three-storey Etagère emerges laden with indulgent treats. Beautifully decorated cakes (the Opera chocolate cake is amazing!) and pastries, and of course Victoria sponge cake with jam and cream. Maybe best of all, delectable scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam!

On the savoury front you have Scottish smoked salmon on rye, herb and bacon scones with slices of free range egg and avocado cream and cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches. The tea served is from the high quality French brand Mariages Frères.

All in all, what better way could you spend a cold Winter’s afternoon in Zurich? Afternoon Tea is such a civilised invention!
