The Culinary Delight: Amsterdams De Drie Graefjes’ High Tea Selection

The culinary aspect of this special experience comes from De Drie Graefjes, a name synonymous with quality and deliciousness in Amsterdam. This renowned bakery, famous for its American baking traditions and irresistible sweets, has curated a special high tea assortment that perfectly complements the grandeur of the canals.

 

Precisely Curated High Tea Food Items

The menu is a refined selection of both savory and sweet temptations, meticulously prepared and beautifully presented. Expect a range of classic high tea elements, such as:

  • Fluffy Scones: Freshly baked, warm, and with a wonderfully crispy exterior, accompanied by rich clotted cream and various homemade jams, such as strawberry and raspberry jam.
  • Delicate Finger Sandwiches: Filled with, for example, fresh cucumber and cream cheese, smoked salmon with dill, or a classic egg salad with chives, always on soft, crustless bread.
  • Mini Savory Bites: Think small quiches with seasonal vegetables, or tasty mini sausage rolls, offering a savory counterpart.
  • Iconic Sweets: A selection of De Drie Graefjes’ most beloved creations in miniature, such as moist red velvet cupcakes, rich brownie bites with walnuts, delicate cheesecakes with a fruity topping, and various macarons in cheerful colors.
  • A carefully selected collection of premium tea varieties, ranging from classic black teas to refreshing green teas and herbal infusions, to perfectly complement each course.

High Tea served on Authentic Delfts Blue Tableware

What makes this high tea cruise extra special is the presentation. All the delights are served on elegant Delfts Blue tableware. This iconic Dutch earthenware, with its characteristic blue and white patterns, adds an authentic Dutch touch to the American-inspired flavors, resulting in a beautiful visual feast. The combination of the traditional canal houses, the stylish private boat, the artisanal delicacies, and the Delfts Blue creates a unique cultural and culinary synergy.
