Had afternoon tea at Sofitel the Grand Amsterdam yesterday using a promotion by Albertheijn. So I'm not sure if the experience I had is related to me going there and not paying the full price or not. The different tea flavors they served throughout the afternoon tea 'complemented' the different courses, but they didn't change tea cups so what we got, was that different kinds of teas mixed together, and for a star restaurant like Sofitel, I think they can afford to switch tea cups if they are serving different flavored teas and they pour a lot of the tea leaves in your tea cup while serving the tea. I expected more from the food, but I was very disappointed with it. This however is a personal problem as I don't like alcohol and the jam for the scones was made of port. I could smell amd taste the port with every bite. I didn't like the flavor of the macaron. It was also too soft, instead of a bit cripsy/chewy. The servers didn't explain to each table what they were serving so we had no idea what everything was. To end my review on a positive note:: the area where the afternoon tea was held was very nice and cosy.
