High tea is the perfect time to slow down. No rush, no tight schedule—just quietly savoring a variety of small dishes with a cup of tea. It’s an afternoon that naturally invites you to stay seated and lose track of time.
A moment to take some time
At a high tea, you’ll find a wide variety of treats, from sweet pastries to savory bites, and it’s precisely because of that leisurely pace that there’s plenty of time for good conversation. You taste, you chat, you pour another cup, and before you know it, the afternoon is over.
It’s a moment that lends itself to all sorts of things. A birthday, an afternoon with friends, some time with your mom, a small farewell, or just a pleasant break from the day. There doesn’t have to be a special occasion; enjoying each other’s company is reason enough.
It's the atmosphere that makes the difference
Your surroundings play a big role in how you feel. A busy, stark place doesn’t invite you to stay; a quiet, cozy spot does. Where you sit determines whether high tea feels like a rushed snack or a special moment.
At Stadsklooster Dordt, you’ll take a seat in a historic building right in the heart of downtown. The peaceful monastic atmosphere, the warm décor, and the view of the courtyard garden make high tea an experience you can truly lose yourself in. Even with a larger group, you’ll feel right at home, with plenty of time and space to enjoy each other’s company without bothering anyone or feeling rushed. Feel free to stop by our restaurant, Aan Tafel, to get a taste of the atmosphere.
Combine it with a day trip to Dordrecht
High tea also pairs perfectly with a day out. Before or after, you can take a stroll through the historic city center, along the canals and past the centuries-old facades. That way, you can turn a cozy afternoon into a full-fledged outing: first, a walk through the old town, then sit down and enjoy your tea. Let the unique charm of Dordrecht inspire you to discover what else the city has to offer.
