Where a classic afternoon tea in Munich is served
Admittedly, Munich is better known for beer, hearty food and pretzels. But you can also find a traditional British afternoon tea in the city. So if you’re looking for a little break from the hustle and bustle of the city, the best thing to do is treat yourself to a relaxing tea time. By the way, this is also a great idea for rainy days. After all, who likes to spend their days outdoors in Munich, wet and freezing? We can mentally go to Great Britain and enjoy a stylish afternoon tea! Here are the best addresses for an exquisite tea time in Munich.
Afternoon Tea at The Victorian House – Brown’s Tea Bar
If you are looking for an authentic British tea time, you should definitely visit The Victorian House – Brown’s Tea Bar in Schwabing.

The unique ambience with old oil paintings, English antiques and comfortable seating makes the visit a real experience. Here you can relax and leave everyday life behind you.

Opulent afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental Munich
Afternoon tea in the lounge of the Mandarin Oriental in Munich is served daily from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is very close to its British rolemodel. Sofas, armchairs, petit fours served on classic cake stands and pretty porcelain create the right ambience. From Friday to Sunday you can also listen to the soothing sounds of a pianist.

Sweet afternoon break at Dallmayr
Dallmayr is a culinary landmark in Munich. While they don’t serve classic British afternoon tea, you can pretty much put together your own thanks to the large selection of high-quality teas and first-class sweet petit fours. A sweet afternoon break in a real Munich institution!

What to wear for traditional afternoon tea?
Of course, there is no prescribed dress code for afternoon tea in Munich. But I think a so-called tea dress or afternoon dress fits perfectly. This is a pretty dress, preferably with a pattern, that doesn’t look too casual but doesn’t look formal either. Alternatively, a blouse works just as well in combination with an elegant midi skirt. Of course we can take some inspiration from British fashion. Checks, muted colors and maybe even a pretty hat are perfect.
