Hotel Café Royal

Afternoon Tea - We felt welcome from the moment we arrived when the doorman rotated and door for us and welcomed us. The host greeted us kindly and asked if we were celebrating anything special, which made the experience feel more personal. Our waiter was friendly, professional, and made us feel at ease right away. The food was fresh and genuinely delicious. I’m a very picky eater, and I still enjoyed everything. The tea was lovely, and the live piano music in the background created a calm and beautiful atmosphere. What I appreciated most was the pace. We were never rushed or interrupted, and we felt completely free to take our time and enjoy the afternoon. We stayed for around two hours and it was just perfect. The staff explained each item clearly but didn’t overdo it, which I really liked. Even though the place is right in the middle of the city, it feels quiet and tucked away once you’re inside. It has a very private and cozy vibe, ideal for a peaceful or romantic outing. Everything about the experience was great.

Afternoon Tea at Café Royal was a wonderful experience during my first visit to London. The atmosphere was elegant, and the service was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome and well cared for. The selection of savory finger sandwiches and sweet treats was delicious and well-prepared, offering a nice variety of flavors. The tea pairings were enjoyable and added a special touch to the experience. I highly recommend Afternoon Tea at Café Royal for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful and memorable afternoon in London.

We had the afternoon tea during lunch time, this was our first ever experience with afternoon tea and had many concerns - would it be too fancy for us? Would we be full? Would we even enjoy the tea because we both don’t regularly drink tea. All our apprehensions were quickly nullified - the experience was absolutely fantastic, I did a lot of research before we went and this place had the most unique interiors. I also found the dietary options available while booking the most detailed I had ever seen. They encouraged us to try different types of teas - we tried 5 different types between two of us and they were delicious. The tisanes were so floral and smelt amazing. The sandwiches - both vegetarian and chicken ones were really good. Fluffy bread and generous filling. You must remember to save space for scones and dessert and not fill yourself up with unlimited sandwich refill. Scones were warm and jams were yummy. I was pleasantly surprised that the desserts had a tangy side to them too. Loved that they celebrated tea in the desserts too by including elderflower and earl grey, but subtly so it was perfectly balanced. The pastry chefs must be highly skilled because it’s the thinnest shell I’ve ever eaten on the chocolate mousse and lemon dessert. Service was lovely, they recommended the order in which we should have the tea so it goes with every part of the course. Only thing I would change is that we’d choose tap water instead of bottle water just because it was 8 pounds. The afternoon tea is definitely expensive, but completely worth it especially for celebrations. Highly recommend.
