AC Perch’s Thehandel

Aarhus


This timeless tearoom makes a most civilised pit stop. There is enough choice here to satisfy the most discerning cuppa lover; consider indulging in the popular high tea (known as the tea ceremony; 200kr) with finger sandwiches, petits fours, scones with jam and clotted cream, and a bottomless pot of tea.

Jams, honeys, handmade biscuits and fudge are sold in the adjacent shop, as are the beautifully packaged teas.
