Hôtel d'Angleterre - Afternoon Tea 2014

In early 2010, I posted about Hôtel d'Angleterre's afternoon tea. I remember at the time, I quite enjoyed it but somehow I didn't really feel the need to go back until very recently. Largely because a friend of mine told me they had greatly improved the experience over time. I figured I would have to go back and check for myself! And, let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The scones and finger sandwiches are hands down my favorite items on the cake stand. The cakes and pastries are very good too, but as far as I'm concerned, they're definitely not the main event.

Overall, afternoon tea at Hôtel d'Angleterre is a highly pleasurable experience!

Afternoon Tea at Hotel d'Angleterre

Hotel d'Angleterre is one of the many five-star hotels located opposite Lake Geneva by the Mont-Blanc bridge. It is a prestigious establishment and it takes the time-honored tradition of afternoon tea quite seriously! There are a number of suggestions to pick from but the traditional tea comes with the tea of your choice as well as an assortment of finger sandwiches and cakes.
