Green Bar At Hotel Cafe Royal

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! The entire staff was so kind & patient, the food was delicious, and the room was gorgeous! We could have stayed there all afternoon. We appreciated the wide variety of teas and the pairing recommendations made by our waiter for what tea would taste best with each tower (first tower sandwiches and the second tower dessert). The sandwiches were so yummy- our top favorites were the salmon and the beef. They also offer a vegetarian tower too! We truly enjoyed the experience, and I wish we lived closer to come back and enjoy their holiday menu they are rolling out soon!

Wow 🤩 this place will set you back in time however it’s absolutely exceptional experience and the service compliments the high tea experience.! . The sandwiches melt in your mouth there are so tasty I can still feel them . Thank you to the whole team who really went out your way and to make my ❤️birthday experience memorable forever ! The scones and cakes are just tasty too you will never forget your experience in n London .

Embarking on the afternoon tea journey at Cafe Royal is akin to stepping back in time, enveloped in an ambiance of sophistication and elegance. The establishment’s attention to detail shines through, creating a memorable setting that pairs perfectly with this time-honoured tradition. The service staff excelled in their roles, striking a commendable balance between professionalism and warmth, ensuring that every aspect of the tea session flowed seamlessly. However, while the carnivore selection of sandwiches was indeed flavourful, they bordered on the rich side. Similarly, the vegetarian options presented a mixed bag. Apart from the tofu, which stood out for its taste and texture, the other offerings lacked the expected zest and palatability. A notable area of improvement was the seating. The chairs, though undoubtedly stylish, posed challenges for taller patrons, leading to potential discomfort over prolonged periods. On the topic of pricing, the £70 per person tag felt slightly on the higher side. Given the overall quality and experience, a more balanced pricing would enhance the value proposition for guests. In conclusion, Cafe Royal’s afternoon tea offers a mostly delightful experience, with room for improvement in certain areas. With a few tweaks, it could very well set the gold standard for afternoon teas in London.

The wait staff's attention was great (especially Grace)Cant say that the dress code is enforced.I enjoyed the piano immencely, would have appreciate uninterrupted play (I mean a second shift of a player, obviously the same artist cannot play continously) A fly landed on my cake, had to have it changed

What a fab experience. It's not cheap, and the food won't blow you away (no afternoon tea does that, in my opinion) but it's the most wonderful way to spend a couple of hours with some of your favourite people. The room is dimly lit and has the feeling of a refined Parisian brasserie. The service is possibly the best thing, friendly, not formal. A shout out to Muna and Naseto from the Reservations team who really went beyond to find me a slot and to accommodate my requests. Thank you all!

Had a lovely afternoon tea at Cafe' Royal. The service was excellent and the staff were very gracious & accommodating. It has of course the feel of a very ostentatious place. Lovely setting and interiors which I love. Food was lovely. Not so keen on the beef/mustard sandwich. Too strong for my liking. It was a nice experience with my friends.

In a world of fast-paced change, it's reassuring to visit an oasis of modernized old-world charm and peaceful calm... And when you're on holiday, it's all about experiences. This one is not to be missed... We visited The Café Royal for afternoon tea (and yes, correctly, it's Afternoon Tea, NOT High Tea) earlier this year whilst on holiday. It was a divine experience for us all from my 7-1/2 year old grandson to my daughter, her husband, and myself. Is it expensive? Well, that depends upon your pocket... You're entering a world of luxury and exquisite perfection... This is not a cheap fast-food destination for the masses. To truly enjoy the Café Royal, you need to be discerning, expect the best and appreciate that luxury comes at a price (so be prepared to pay for it). The Café Royal is unique to the historical era that created it and the owners have sympathetically renovated and maintained its rich, decorative style. It's not just the exceptional food and its exquisite presentation, it's also the attentive and polite customer service, the quiet and gilded ambience, the luxury, the gorgeous decorations and furnishings... every moment is a feast for the eyes and senses. In this context, you'll appreciate the value-for-money... It won't disappoint. And realise you'll be sharing your experience with royalty, world leaders and celebrities such as Winston Churchill, Mohammed Ali, Princess Diana, David Bowie and so many more.
