Traditionelles britisches Café Erlebnis

Das "Bettys Café Tea Rooms" in Harrogate ist eine wahre Institution der britischen Gastronomie und ein Ort, der Tradition, Eleganz und Genuss auf einzigartige Weise vereint. Es handelt sich um das erste Café der Bettys-Kette, das 1919 vom Schweizer Konditor Frederick Belmont gegründet wurde, der mit seiner Vision die Schweizer Handwerkskunst mit der herzlichen Gastfreundschaft Yorkshires verband. Heute ist das Café in Harrogate nicht nur ein kulinarisches Highlight, sondern auch ein kulturelles Wahrzeichen, das Besucher aus aller Welt anzieht – sei es für eine traditionelle britische Teestunde oder ein entspanntes Essen in historischem Ambiente.

Afternoon Tea im Imperial Room

Die Atmosphäre im Bettys Café Tea Rooms ist geprägt von einem charmanten Mix aus Art-déco-Eleganz und gemütlicher Wärme. Schon beim Betreten wird man von einer stilvollen Einrichtung empfangen, die mit verspielten Details wie kunstvollen Leuchtern und einer verspiegelten Decke im Imperial Room aufwartet – einem besonderen Bereich, der für seine exklusiven Afternoon Teas bekannt ist. Die großen Fenster bieten einen Blick auf die malerische Umgebung Harrogates, während im Inneren oft die Klänge eines Pianisten die Luft erfüllen, was dem Erlebnis eine zusätzliche Note von Raffinesse verleiht. Es ist ein Ort, der sowohl einheimische Stammgäste als auch Touristen gleichermaßen begeistert, oft mit einer kurzen Wartezeit verbunden, da Reservierungen nur für bestimmte Angebote möglich sind.

Kulinarisches Highlight in Harrogate

Kulinarisch steht Bettys für Qualität und Vielfalt, wobei die Afternoon Tea ein absolutes Highlight darstellt. Diese wird im Imperial Room auf einem dreistöckigen Silberständer serviert und umfasst eine Auswahl an delikaten Sandwiches, frisch gebackenen Scones und exquisiten Miniaturkuchen. Besonders die "Fat Rascals" – ein traditionelles Gebäck aus Yorkshire mit Mandeln, Zitrusnoten und einer saftigen Textur – sind ein Muss und spiegeln die regionale Verbundenheit wider. Auch die "Eggs Benedict" mit ihrer cremigen Hollandaise und perfekt pochierten Eiern sind ein beliebtes Frühstücksgericht, das die Gäste mit seiner Ausgewogenheit begeistert. Für eine herzhafte Option bietet sich das "Swiss Rösti" an, ein knuspriges Kartoffelgericht, das mit Belmonts Schweizer Wurzeln spielt und oft mit Speck oder Käse verfeinert wird.

Bettys Café Tee Auswahl

Neben den Speisen ist Bettys für seine Teeauswahl berühmt, die von den Experten des Schwesterunternehmens Taylors of Harrogate sorgfältig zusammengestellt wird. Der "Bettys Tea Room Blend", eine Mischung aus kräftigem Assam und zartem Darjeeling, wurde speziell für das Café kreiert und harmoniert perfekt mit den süßen und herzhaften Leckereien. Auch die Getränkekarte bietet Abwechslung, von aromatischen Kaffees bis hin zu erfrischenden, alkoholfreien Optionen, die den Genuss abrunden. Wer etwas Besonderes sucht, kann seine Afternoon Tea mit einem Glas Champagner aufwerten – ein Luxus, der das Erlebnis noch festlicher macht.

Schweizer Rösti Kartoffelgericht

Das Café verfügt zudem über einen angeschlossenen Laden, in dem Gäste viele der Köstlichkeiten – von handgefertigten Pralinés bis hin zu losen Teesorten – mit nach Hause nehmen können. Dieser Laden ist ein Paradies für Feinschmecker und unterstreicht die Liebe zum Detail, die Bettys auszeichnet. Der Service ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt: Die Mitarbeiter, oft in klassischen Uniformen gekleidet, sind freundlich und aufmerksam, obwohl es an besonders belebten Tagen etwas geschäftiger zugehen kann. Für Familien, Vegetarier, Veganer oder Gäste mit speziellen Ernährungsbedürfnissen gibt es angepasste Menüoptionen, was die Zugänglichkeit des Cafés erhöht.

Booked at the Imperial Room for afternoon tea as a special treat. It's a set menu but will amend for vegetarians. Delightful place, great food, excellent choice of teas, and wonderful service.

Excellent , an unexpected treat. My wife and I were in Harrogate for a couple of days and stumbled on the Teas . out for a walk in the afternoon. We could see there were a few empty tables so decided to go.The staff were excellent and very polite . Coffee and a bun each. Then we bought some treats for the grandchildren and a loaf of bread in the bakery in the same building. Overall, it was an excellent experience

Food is good, but watch out for the sub level that has no windows and collects fish smells

The whole experience was wonderful: the setting, the ambience and then the spot on service. The afternoon tea was as described, beautifully presented and so tasty. It was so good my partner has said we’ll come back every three months! You made him feel very special obviously. Thank you! PS photo taken after we’d starting eating the sandwiches lol

First time visiting Betty’s and everything from the services to each individual item was just gorgeous! The flavours and creativity to the petite sweet treats were delightful! The sandwiches were understandably moreish and filling. The scones were soft and mouth watering to say the least. We tried a variety of teas, all of which were delicious with each node of the fresh flavours coming through with every sip. Lastly Lawrence was very charming and attentive with his polite and approachable manner made the visit even more enjoyable. Lawrence had some excellent recommendations for the variety of Teas, displaying his vast knowledge of the selection available. We most definitely be making the trip to Betty’s in Harrogate again soon.

Afternoon tea for 2 x 50th birthday celebrations. Amazing experience made by the staff (Ann & Karen), quality & quantity of the afternoon tea. Ann & Karen couldn't do more for us to make it special. Lovely room which was intimate. It was fanrastic.

Gooey Rascal and a pot of Bettys tea, what an absolute treat!

Of course we had to make the trip to the famous Betty's tea room, but unfortunately I found it lacking. The fat rascals we had were unique and quite tasty, with the chocolate one being a highlight. However, the staff were so incredibly rude I could not fully enjoy my cakes. Considering we were not dining in, this was impressive! We waited to be served for an absolute age, before a local member of the public cut in front of us and placed her order. The staff did not bother to correct this, even after I highlighted we were next and did not apologise either. This was the only place in York where I was made to feel unwelcome. I felt dismissed by the staff, with a presumption that I wasn't going to spend any money here, so other customers were prioritised.

Great food, fantastic staff, great experience. Betty's is famous for a reason, definitely worth a visit. Special mention for our waitress Hannah who was excellent.

Afternoon tea in the Imperial room was booked to celebrate my birthday. Have had afternoon tea before but not the bookable one. Different menu, pianist, atmosphere all make it worth the extra price. Service is the same high quality that you find in the main cafe /restaurant.

I have been coming to Bettys for over 50 years and it never disappoints. I visited today with my friend for a pre-birthday meal. Our waitress was sweet and could not have been more helpful and the food was, as ever, first class.

I went for afternoon tea this weekend and was served by the wonderful Lawrence/Laurence in the imperial tea rooms. The food was brilliant and the service was unparalleled, befitting such a historic institution. I look forward to going back next time I'm in Harrogate. Well done to him and the Betty's team!

The wife and I have wanted to visit a Betty’s for a long time. Generally the queues put us off. However, we managed to miss the rush, and were seated by the windows for breakfast. Can highly recommend and will certainly revisit.
