Bettys Café Tea Rooms

Restaurante | Harrogate | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

Experiencia de café británico tradicional

El "Bettys Café Tea Rooms" en Harrogate es una verdadera institución de la gastronomía británica y un lugar que combina tradición, elegancia y disfrute de manera única. Es el primer café de la cadena Bettys, fundado en 1919 por el pastelero suizo Frederick Belmont, quien con su visión combinó la artesanía suiza con la cálida hospitalidad de Yorkshire. Hoy en día, el café en Harrogate no solo es un punto culinario destacado, sino también un hito cultural que atrae visitantes de todo el mundo, ya sea para disfrutar de una tradicional hora del té británica o de una comida relajada en un ambiente histórico.

Té de la tarde en Imperial Room

La atmósfera en el Bettys Café Tea Rooms está marcada por una encantadora mezcla de elegancia Art déco y calidez acogedora. Al entrar, uno es recibido por una decoración elegante, con detalles juguetones como candelabros elaborados y un techo con espejos en el Imperial Room, un área especial conocida por sus exclusivos Afternoon Teas. Las grandes ventanas ofrecen vistas al pintoresco entorno de Harrogate, mientras que en el interior a menudo se escuchan las melodías de un pianista, lo que añade una nota adicional de sofisticación a la experiencia. Es un lugar que encanta tanto a los clientes locales habituales como a los turistas, a menudo con una breve espera ya que las reservas solo son posibles para ciertas ofertas.

Destacar culinario en Harrogate

Culinariamente, Bettys representa calidad y diversidad, siendo el Afternoon Tea uno de los puntos más destacados. Este se sirve en el Imperial Room en una torre de plata de tres pisos e incluye una selección de delicados sándwiches, scones recién horneados y exquisitos pasteles en miniatura. Especialmente los "Fat Rascals" – una tradicional delicia de Yorkshire con almendras, notas cítricas y una textura jugosa – son imperdibles y reflejan la conexión regional. También los "Eggs Benedict" con su cremosa hollandaise y huevos escalfados perfectamente son un popular plato de desayuno que deleita a los comensales con su equilibrio. Para una opción más salada, se puede optar por el "Swiss Rösti", un crujiente plato de patatas que juega con las raíces suizas de Belmont y a menudo se enriquece con tocino o queso.

Selección de té de Bettys

Además de la comida, Bettys es famoso por su selección de tés, cuidadosamente seleccionados por los expertos de la empresa hermana Taylors of Harrogate. El "Bettys Tea Room Blend", una mezcla de fuerte Assam y delicado Darjeeling, fue creado especialmente para el café y armoniza perfectamente con las delicias dulces y saladas. La carta de bebidas ofrece variedad, desde cafés aromáticos hasta refrescantes opciones sin alcohol que complementan la experiencia. Para aquellos que buscan algo especial, pueden elevar su Afternoon Tea con una copa de champán, un lujo que hace que la experiencia sea aún más festiva.

El café también cuenta con una tienda adjunta donde los huéspedes pueden llevarse a casa muchas de las delicias, desde bombones artesanales hasta tés a granel. Esta tienda es un paraíso para los gourmets y destaca el cuidado por los detalles que distingue a Bettys. El servicio es otro punto a favor: los empleados, a menudo vestidos con uniformes clásicos, son amables y atentos, aunque en días especialmente concurridos puede ser un poco más bullicioso. Para familias, vegetarianos, veganos o huéspedes con necesidades dietéticas especiales, hay opciones de menú adaptadas que aumentan la accesibilidad del café.

The choice of teas was marvellous as were the scones which were moist and firm. All served by good staff in a very calm atmosphere

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.
