Gran Caffe

Walking into the always busy Gran Caffe in Knightsbridge (opposite Harrods) was like walking into an upmarket café in Dubai; the faces were all the same, Middle Eastern…and Russian. It has a warm, plush ambiance befitting its location. The tea, coffee (Irish in my case), and pastries we had were all lovely – everybody happy. Service was attentive but staggered, which means we got some but not all of our order on time. Our party of eight were not the only ones to have young kids with them, no problem there. So, if you’re in the area and looking for somewhere to have anything from breakfast to dinner, the pleasant Gran Caffe is worth a visit…especially if you’re a home sick Middle Easterner…or Russian.

Late morning Breackfast on a Sunday, lovely place nice atmosphere service up to the standards of the area, one this if u come here for pancakes be sure to arrive at the latest 1030 because I don't know for what valid reason at 11 they won't be available any more.. Only disappointment. Bit pricey for some, tourist mainly, so be sure to look at the menu if is not your kind of place, after all you are next to Harrods in a really nice area.

Really nice afternoon tea for good price £19.50 per person. Beautifully presented on black slates and a generous amount of food. Mint tea is served with fresh mint, very nice. Eclairs, profiteroles and strawberry gateau are medicocre. Don't order the strawberry gateau it's not nice. The cream is very buttery butter cream. Not fresh cream. Service was also good.

One of the tastiest restaurants I tried while in London for two weeks! Definitely the best service I have had, the staff was friendly and more attentive than most places I visited in London. The waiter was answered all questions thoroughly, except one, which he brought over the manager to make sure it was properly answered. The pesto sauce on my create your own pasta was amazing and my mom loved her croque monsieur. I had a screwdriver which had freshly squeezed orange juice and it was the best I've ever had! My mom had two glasses of prosecco. Unfortunately, both glasses had a smaller serving than a usual glass, the top didn't even reach the top of the logo on the glass! My only other complaint is that there was no spoon for the salt and pepper which were in open dishes. Having a spoon to serve yourself with would be very helpful and much more sanitary! The dessert we shared was quite good. Overall it was a lovely dinner with splendid service!
