Culinary Delights The menu at Monte Tea House is a tea lover's paradise. With an impressive selection of teas and infusions, each cup is a journey of flavours I opted for a very tasteful hot chocolate and my wife chose a very good coffee, both were expertly prepared and served with care. To accompany our hot drinks, we indulged in their meal of the day, we had a gratin made of cod fish and potatoes, with a side salad. The portions were very good, and the meal was very tasty, which were nothing short of exceptional. Service and Hospitality What truly sets Monte Tea House apart is its impeccable service.

Lovely, tranquil and cosy tea house. High quality herbal tea blends and delicious home baked cakes. In the shadow of the Our Lady of the Mountain church. Prices were surprisingly low for the location and quality. Recommended!

Fabulous tea house—truly a hidden gem! The cheesecake was divine, and there were plenty of tempting options to choose from. The ambiance was wonderfully calming, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff were absolutely lovely, adding a personal warmth that left a lasting impression. If only all cafes could be this delightful!

After walking to the statue and back a delicious pot of summer tea was a welcome, refreshing drink in a beautiful cafe

Magical!!! One of the best macchiato I’ve had in Europe, that too for incredible 1€. The vegetable soup blew us away. And finally home made raspberry cheesecake cake is nothing we have ever imagined before. Small owner team welcomes you and creates an experience.

It's a very calm place with some lovely decorations and the nicest service. We got to try a traditional cake for epiphany (3 Kings'), which was, of course, delicious. One of us found the "bean" (fève), and then the chef came and explained to the entire restaurant the tradition behind it, whilst giving us some laughs. The food was immaculate, nonetheless there (unfortunately !) wasn't much of it left😅

Such a cute little spot ! Delicious tomato soup and the best carrot cake ever Highly recommend. Excellent service as well
