Organized jointly by Sky Media’s Light Travel Channel and PTT PK Bar, the “Taiwan’s Most Enchanting Afternoon Tea PK” event invited over 40 establishments across Taiwan. After evaluations by food critic mystery diners and online voting, the top five were selected. The L’Amitié English Afternoon Tea Set at Beitou L’Amitié Hot Spring Hotel secured the fifth place, earning praise from both experts and netizens. This has made the usually fully booked L’Amitié even more popular, with afternoon tea slots now fully reserved through November.

Beyond sweets, the L’Amitié English Afternoon Tea Set also offers delicious savory items. Daily-baked French savory tarts by the chef, truffle scallops bursting with umami, and Japanese-style salads further delight the palate. The melt-in-your-mouth tart fillings are rich with cheese and buttery aroma, while the golden crusts are as crisp as a dance on the tongue—making them a highly popular choice.
Additionally, the L’Amitié afternoon tea set provides 15 beverage options, among which the “Selected Taiwanese Teas” category is the most favored by guests. As a Taiwan-born brand, L’Amitié uses many locally sourced ingredients, especially Taiwan’s pride—tea—which is not to be missed.
