Perfect place to have the proper Afternoon Tea Experience for a fair price that’s not over the roof. The salon is not big, but it’s decorated tastefully and feels very royal-like. The staff was welcoming and very attentive, explaining every course with detail. The food was amazing. Great variety both savory and sweet with the best scones and mermelada I tasted. Perhaps the portions were a bit big considering all the food they offered but I suppose it’s better for them to be big rather than small. The entire experience is an absolute must if it’s your first visit in London.
Savoury Selection: 10/10 - Definitely among the highest quality in terms of 5-star afternoon tea in London. Can't tell if it's refillable as we weren't offered the option, but we're both glad we didn't have a 2nd round, as they were themselves quite heavy not to mention the following courses were just as substantial. Sweet Selection: 9/10 - Again, among the best for sure, but not the best we'd had. Also, each of them was of a decent size, unlike the very miniature style offered in some other hotels. Even the complimentary celebration cake tasted surprisingly good - it's a generous slice of dark chocolate mousse cake. Scones: Shockingly disappointing. Store-bought scones in my pantry would have been so much better. Also, we thought we would get to try the rose jam, but were offered only a good old strawberry jam. Tea: Pairing as indicated on the menu was fine. If you are a tisane person, however, only the most common peppermint, chamomile, lemon ginger, etc. are available. Vibe: 10/10 - The interiors, tea set and plates were all stunningly rosy. No doubt an instagrammable experience. Staff: 9/10 - Friendly staff, satisfactory service, though there were gaps where no one was around within the lounge when we needed something. They offered the anniversary cake, congratulated us, and were so helpful in taking some nice pictures for us. It was not busy on a Sunday. We had our quiet, peaceful afternoon. Overall, we so very much enjoyed the experience. Recommended!
What a wonderful experience. The staff onsite gives a great time to sit back and enjoy. Wonderful food and tea, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend. On the downside, it’s not cheap!Food: 5/5
One has to admit that this is the easiest afternoon tea to book at the last minute during Christmas in London. It's located in the Sofitel hotel. The location is good, right off Regent Street. However, the lounge itself is quite small, essentially serving as the hotel's lobby sitting area with about ten tables in total. For Christmas, they recommend the Christmas set, priced at £70 without champagne and £80 with champagne, per person. The tea, although fleet, is just tea bags, and I reckon the ones at my home might be better. The first savory course includes a salmon tart, two types of sandwiches, and a baked cheese sandwich; the second sweet course has about five desserts. They're not bad, but certainly not memorable. The service staff are extremely busy throughout, quickly explaining the products and swiftly serving the meals, lacking the ceremonial feel of afternoon tea. If you can book somewhere else, definitely don't choose this one. If you really can't book anywhere else, I suggest just going to any five-star hotel for tea and desserts, which would probably be more worthwhile and atmospheric. We later regretted not having tea at our hotel.
Amazing afternoon tea and experience! The beautiful decor set the tone of the visit from the beginning. The rose lounge is quiet and quaint providing an ambiance for a relaxing afternoon. The food and teas were delicious. The server was calm, attentive, and took his time explaining the menu, each tea, and each course. Would definitely recommend!
Third time coming here for afternoon tea, as before a great experience. Lovely setting to enjoy some delicious pastries and excellent tea. I really enjoy seeing how the menu has changed over the years. Also really enjoyed the new French menu. Was very pleasantly surprised with the vegan options, definitely didn't compromise on taste. Staff was very attentive and didn't rush us. Only downside, it would be great if the children's menu came back as my niece really enjoyed it previously.
Came in for afternoon tea. The food is good. Some of the staff is not trained enough to provide adequate service. The price is also uncompetitive. Maybe this is why there was still a lot of availability on an Easter weekend. It’s a good place if you want to have an afternoon tea at the last minute, but if you are booking in advance, there are always better options with the quality and the pricing in London.
Beautiful place. Amazing sandwiches, scrumptious pastries. It's everything I dreamed it would be and more. As a Texan I've dreamed of having a proper British tea and this place delivered.Food: 5/5
This is an exquisite afternoon tea with a lot of courses and many of them savoury. Each one presented by friendly staff and with time between to get ready! We were pleased to see the ending scones were small and bite sized so just room enough to squeeze in. If you want an afternoon tea with a difference this is it.
We visited here for afternoon tea for a friend's birthday. It was fantastic. The staff are absolutely brilliant, polite, friendly and really made the experience for us. Our table was ready for us when we arrived and they even let us set up for our friends birthday with the present and card. There is a brilliant selection of tea and pastries here. The menus are neat and very informative. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to explain the menu to all guests. When we visited they had a harpist playing and she played beautifully at a soft enjoyable volume with a selection of well known songs. The tables are presented beautifully for afternoon tea. There is a good selection of sandwiches and the staff were brilliant at checking allergies and dietary requirements. Some of our party don't eat pork and this was no problem at all. All the staff were attentive. The toilets are clean and decorated to a high standard. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who would like afternoon tea. Thankyou to the team on Saturday afternoon you made our celebration truly special.
