The quality of food was superb. Egg yolk was fresh and bright orange. Bread had a nice crust and moist inside. Side mushroom was firm and soft at the same time - would recommend. Service was absolutely 5 stars. I'm from Los Angeles and this is exactly what I was expecting from a 2 Michelin London establishment. Ambiance was classy, elevated, and clean. Well lit for breakfast with my mom and family. read more

My family stayed at this hotel last month. This is absolutely the most amazing hotel in London. A great location, with unparalleled guest service. It is a beautiful hotel inside and out, and both in the common areas as well as the rooms. The staff live up to the name and truly treat their guests like royalty. Look no further, this is the only hotel to stay at in London. read more

What an amazing hotel and restaurant, i enjoyed the service and everything about the hotel. First of all, as soon as I arrived I was greeted with great welcome, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. They even walk us to our room. When I arrived at the hotel there were some welcoming gifts waiting for us. The room was spacious and very luxurious. The bed was comfortable and the rain shower was nice. We also enjoyed two of their restaurants. First we had afternoon tea at Cafe Royal Grill, they have the best service, they have great care for us, as one of friends brought her children, they were friendly to the children and has special set of tea sandwiches and dessert for them. The restaurant was beautiful with a lot of Gold decor and the most important thing is that it is comfortable to have conversations with friends on afternoon tea. The last thing is the breakfast. The service is beyond excellent, they are on point friendly and five stars service. I love my lobster caviar Benedict, I just want that again and again. The lobster was cooked to perfection and the English muffins were toasted just right soft and crunchy at the same time. I will recommend everyone to come to stay here or eat here!! read more

Fantastic experience in every way. A true luxury experience. Beautiful hotel. All the employees were kind.

We had an amazing stay at the Hotel Cafe Royal. It's a really interesting hotel. The lobby and common spaces are very traditional, while the hallways and rooms are very modern. The bar and dining room split the difference, being devoted to British Rock, especially David Bowie. I was astonished to hear a track from the 801 live album playing at breakfast one morning- that's a deep dive. The concierges were amazing. They went far above and beyond, wrangling last minute restaurant reservations, making sure that we were squared away with our Uber, etc... The room was very modern. It was dead quiet, you couldn't hear a thing from the outside world. There was a Nespresso machine in the room that came in very handy. The only minor negative was the lighting system. It was dark in our room, even with all of the lights on. It was hard to maneuver from the bed to the bathroom in the dark. Every night I left the bathroom lights on and they turned themselves off at some point. A couple of more lumens in the top and a night light would be appreciated. The hotel's location is fabulous. It's walk to many of the major attractions in London. There's a convenient bus that from near the hotel to Harrod's and it's a 10 or 15 minute walk to an Uber Boat, which is a fun way to get to the London Bridge and Borough Market. We were upgraded and had breakfast included. The dining room is lovely and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Prices are a bit steep, but it's a nice place for a leisurely meal. The Hotel Cafe Royal will be our go to place the next time that we visit London. read more

My partner and I had afternoon tea here with champagne (Veuve Clicquot) which came as a package. We ordered the Oscar Wilde Tea and the traditional sandwich's, scones and pastries. Everything was delicious, ambiance was stunning and the service was incredible. I highly recommend, worth the price for the experience! I will definitely go back when I'm in London. read more

Absolutely my favorite afternoon tea place in London. I make sure to make a reservation any time I'm in the area. The place is just immaculately decorated. It could easily be classified as gaudy - with all of the gold decor only accented further by the bright red chairs and dim lighting - but it manages to remain luxuriously classy. There's no subtlety in its decoration, which fits perfectly that Oscar Wilde was their namesake! The service is fantastic. The staff are friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the tea they serve. There's no limit to how many different types of tea you get. You get a whole teapot so try away. There are 4 different types of sandwiches you get. The chicken curry was my favorite. For the sweet portion, well, everything was my favorite! read more

It's places like this that make you wish that Yelp offered an extra special 6th star to give to those places that truly go above and beyond any other, and leave you feeling like nowhere else will ever compare. I have never felt so attended to, so pampered, and so comfortable yet amazed with all my surroundings. This is a stunning and incomparably centrally located hotel, mere steps away from the tube and all the beautiful bustle of Piccadilly, but itself a refined, classic, and luxurious repose. Every single person I encountered from the doormen & bellhop to the hotel reception, housekeeping, and restaurant wait staff were wonderful - warm, accommodating, professional, and just the cream of the crop. Every person made me feel like my needs were of the utmost importance, and that feeling is so priceless when it comes to hospitality of this caliber. Upon check-in, I was in a hurry to make it to an afternoon tea reservation that I was late for due to surrounding road closures that delayed my arrival. The hotel staff checked me in with great efficiency and even offered to call the place on my behalf and let them know I'd be running about 10 mins late. The concierge called my room to let me know my new arrival time had been confirmed which gave me that extra peace of mind I needed and time to get ready to leave. The receptionist also let me know that she would be happy to give me a tour of the building once I'd returned from my plans and had more time. She indeed warmly followed through once I returned from my day, accompanying me to the various floors and amenities and offering historical background and recommendations for my stay. So beyond lovely and helpful. I dined at Barbounia on the 1st floor for dinner and had a really delicious and pleasant meal. This is also where complimentary breakfast took place, where I enjoyed a full english breakfast (+12gbp supplement), coffee, and yogurt. The hotel is so centrally located that I was able to take a relaxing morning walk to Buckingham Palace before checking out and heading to the airport. Check-out went very smoothly as well - they helped me to get a taxi to Heathrow, provided water and a place to sit comfortable for a few minutes as we waited for the car, and helped me load in my luggage. From start to finish, I was so impressed and delighted and will be returning as soon as I can! read more

Came here for afternoon tea, which is located in the afternoon tea room at the hotel. Service is excellent. Sandwiches are absolutely delicious, especially the smoked salmon one. Not a huge fan of the scones, but they give u many other choices of tea desserts. They have a nice selection of tea choices and we picked earl grey orange which has a nice orange aroma flavor to the traditional earl grey tea. Highly recommend! read more

My roommate and I were visiting London for only two days and decided we should definitely do afternoon tea somewhere and I am so happy that we settled on this place. For $80 per person we received unlimited tea, sandwiches, and desserts. If you were to go to afternoon tea in Manhattan you wouldn't be getting refills on any of that! The tea selections were amazing it was so hard to choose! Between my roommate and I we went through six different flavors and each seemed even better than the one before. The waitress was more than happy to help recommend tea flavors to us as well. If you fall in love with one you can even buy some to bring home! The sandwiches were also heavenly. I am not someone who eats salmon and they were quick to accommodate it with a surprising and delightful truffled egg salad sandwich! I usually don't like egg salad either but it was so tasty I needed more! By the time we got to the desserts we were stuffed but I was so amazed by the detail that went into the desserts. There were even little gold leafs on a few of them! Overall we had an amazing time and would go back in a heartbeat. The piano player was also so talented I could have listened to him play all day. read more

Came here to celebrate my managers 50th birthday while we were on a business trip from the States. Atmosphere is fancy AF, as you can imagine and overall we had a nice time. I gave three stars because we were the only people in there around 5 p.m. and it was a bit creepy, sorry. Our tea was fine and the nibbles were ok, standard but nothing stood out. I did like their creme fresh and it was neat that we had the option to include a Diptyque candle to our check if we were interested. read more

Hotel Café Royal - Tea Room - Hotels Near Me - London, XGL

This is a review for dinner. I noticed almost all other reviews were for the formal Tea service. Not sure why but go for dinner. It's very cool and an elegant setting, not stuffy. Overall 4.5 very strong. A unique approach. At first I thought it was a place that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. A complete sushi bar and offering with real Japanese sushi chefs. The menu also offered many seafood options, non sushi, in what is a real bar and grill. Yup. Sounds strange and isn't. This is London and we sat down about 8:30. Nothing really happens before 8 so if you're a typical American looking for the early bird you'll have the whole place to yourself at 7pm. Funny because in the US 7- 7:30 are coveted res times. Started with lobster sushi rolls. I copied the menu so you'll have an idea of how they're prepared. These are fantastic. Fresh as can be. Comes with 6 pieces. Very rich. A good split dish. Next, the Kale salad which my wife described as Super Food-- and loved it. As most of you know it's next to impossible to get a vegetable in Europe unless it's a side you order. I had the little gem salad. Very simple dish, superb ingredients light and tasty dressing. For mains I had the short rib, my wife had fish. Both were outstanding -- the only miscue of the night was temperature of the fish was Luke Warm. Not worth sending back. I couldn't eat it all it was so rich. As mentioned the cocktails are excellent, a large array of most any spirts you can imagine-- anyone for a little Louis XIII? Great wine list with knowledgeable servers, wine Som. Couldn't even look at the dessert list as we were very satisfied - the did Bring some comp chocolates with the check. We'd go back in NY minute. read more

What a memorable experience having afternoon tea at Hotel Cafe Royal. Amazing ambiance and artwork in the room complimented by live piano. The sandwiches were impeccable, the pastries were tasty and inventive and the service was top notch. So many famous people have dined here and they even have a seat map showing which famous people have dined on each table. We learned that Rihanna had dined on our table. read more

Gorgeous spot for afternoon tea, even Oscar Wilde thought so! The gilded room and live music are nice but the actual tea and treats are great, and the service is absolutely spectacular. We tried a few other places that either had very strict dress codes or required reservations, but HCR had availability for a last-minute res on Open Table and welcomed us in despite being in more casual attire. Their exclusive tea blends are diverse, and our group tried the Oscar (toasty!), Triple Mint (refreshing!), and Golden Caryatid (malty, with pearls!), all of which were tasty in their own way. My favorite bite of the food was the chef's amuse bouche, a goat cheese and pickled apple muffin with a bulb of apple juice. The sandwiches were nicely savory, particularly the coronation chicken. Next was a course of scones and clotted cream, which were warm and had a great texture. All of the desserts were almost too beautiful to eat, but so supremely delicious- particularly the apple and Tahitian vanilla caramel tart. As tasty as all the treats were, I still keep coming back to the service being what made it truly excellent- our servers were attentive and we were treated with the utmost professionalism and the live music was an excellent touch. Though the OWB room was beautiful, I wish the lighting were better for photos, which unfortunately didn't really turn out. read more

What an amazing experience for afternoon tea! This was my first trip to London and I really wanted to have a true afternoon to experience. I booked Hotel café royal online and it was exactly as I had imagined it would be. The lounge is beautiful, the pastries, the tea, the champagne, the atmosphere- everything felt amazing! I felt like I was dining like royalty! There were only two of us and we stayed for several hours. The service was fantastic and we have multiple pots of tea and champagne refreshed consistently. There were several rounds of different pastries, a mix of savory and sweet. Everything was delicious it was hard to pick a favorite. It is certainly a pricey afternoon tea, but definitely a spot worth returning to! read more

Afternoon Tea at Cafe Royal was on our list for this London visit We elected to partake in the the champers version because, let's be real, when they're offering a weekday afternoon w/ Veuve Clicquot "on them", 'nuff said! Hoping to get placed in the Oscar Wilde room, were were extremely lucky to not only be seated in Oscar Wilde but we were in pride of place - Princess Diana's favorite table because yeah, she was a frequent visitor. We had a gorgeous overview of the whole dining room We had their vegetarian tea & there was a special menu just for us - nice to have the dedicated experience so we didn't have to hunt around the menu for the veggie options We also elected to add a glass of Blanc de blancs for an extra special event & the sandwiches We had ordered a pot of their Queen Victoria blend and a pot of the Rose petal blend. Our 1st waiter suggested having the rose w/ the dessert source & that made sense to us but then we never got the 2nd pot of tea. We asked about it once desserts were brought out but the 2nd waiter never followed up & then the desserts were finished & we were no longer interested in another pot of tea - too bad because I'd really have liked to have tried it. Oh well, next time! read more

Was lucky to have been able to stay at Hotel Cafe Royal on a recent trip to London. Everything was beautiful and high quality from their stylish rooms to their ornate and sumptuous tearoom. The hotel is relatively large but very private and quiet despite our visit during high season. We enjoyed the location being highly acsessible in the heart of Piccadilly Circus and the security of the bellman manned front entry way that seemed to be secured 24/7. We also delighted in the high-tea service in the Oscar Wilde Tea Room which is renowned as one of the cities best. This was a fantastic experience, complete with fine china, sparkling crystal, fresh flowers and a classical pianist. There was a large variety of tea with a extensive and customizable food menu. Vegetarian and gluten-free options available as well. I enjoyed the tarragon egg salad, and the classic cucumber with dill-cream cheese. The biscuits with jam and cream were heavenly. The tea and service are appropriate for the price and leave you feeling very satisfied with the experience as a whole. The hotel really does create a first-class experience with amenities that are fully complete and can accommodate every whim an fancy that arises. The bar is great to invite friends and for after hours meetings and the restaurant was also very good, one could even say exceptional, if compared to other hotels in the area. read more

Great location and place to stay. Beautiful structure and great location in London which allows you to walk around.

Amazing breakfast. Simply delicious pastries. Service is superb and the ambiance terrific.

Beautiful hotel. We didn't stay here, but from what I could see it would be a great place to stay. We came here for high tea and I checked into the hotel but later realized that we were in the Oscar Wilde Bar room. That is where they serve high tea. When you walk into the hotel, you enter into a large area with a fireplace on each side. There's a beautiful center table decorated with different flowers. You will then see a spiral staircase going up several floors. Even if you don't stay the night in this hotel, you should walk in to see the inside. read more

We came to enjoy their afternoon tea in the ornate Oscar Wilde lounge. Cafe Royal was awarded "Best Traditional Afternoon Tea" in 2017, and it certainly lived up to its award. From the beautifully decorated gilded room with mirrors and painted ceilings; it felt like a room from another era. Additionally, there was a pianist who played nonstop for almost 2 hours. What better way to start the afternoon tea experience. Our server suggested to select 2 types of tea. One to enjoy with the tea sandwiches and a more fruity one to enjoy with the scones and pastries. The tea sandwiches were the traditional ones such as cucumber, egg salad, smoked salmon, chicken salad and ham. Scones were traditional as well with plain and raisin options. All tea sandwiches and scones were delicious and we ordered a second helping of both. The pastries were the only thing on the menu not as traditional and for us, they were not as delicious which was fine because we were so full by this time. I should also mention that children receive a 50% discount off the menu as well as an option to order hot chocolate instead of tea. My son is allergic to cheese, so they made him special tea sandwiches. Service was very accommodating. We enjoyed our authentic British tea experience in this gorgeous room, would highly recommend to all. read more

This is a review of the high tea. First off, the tearoom is gorgeous and ornate. You feel transported to a fancy room in a palace. A pianist played nearly nonstop with classic music, covers from UK artists and random fun (think: Game of Thrones theme). But I have to admit that I was disappointed with our food at the tea and would not recommend it! We opted for the champagne tea, which started us off with a glass of bubbly for an extra £10. That was really good. They have a large selection of teas and suggest that you switch flavors for the savory and sweet courses. We used a lot of sugar and had to ask a few times for a refill. The menu was surprisingly adjustable. As a vegetarian, I was brought a few alternate choices and they had gluten free bread and desserts for our friend. Much appreciated. Aside from the tarragon egg salad, none of the sandwiches were anything to rave about. One of my vegetarian options were plain grilled bell peppers on bread. I appreciate the effort but it had no flavor. No one was particularly excited about the rest either. Luckily, we had a lovely server! He offered to bring us more egg salad and cucumber sandwiches. I'm glad he did because the desserts were prettier than they were tasty. We each tried a small bite of each tart or pastry but barely ate them. (As we walked in, I noticed a party had left behind much of their dessert. I had assumed they were full but now I think they had the same opinion.) It's one thing to have a dainty tea but it's another to spend $80 on a "snack" that didn't live up to expectation. We were hungry 1-2 hours later. With all the trays of little sandwiches and treats, we should have at least left sated. I think I'd rather lunch at the cafe next door to pick out one, good dessert and a glass of champagne - or two! read more

I've been to afternoon tea at Oscar Wilde's here three times and it has quickly become my go-to spot when visiting London, whether with friends or, on one occasion, on my own! The service is exquisite every single time. The offerings of both teas and food are sumptuous to be sure. I still stop myself and just think about the clotted cream. My god, what a miracle of dairy that is! Looks like I will be back in London in November 19 and you can rest assured I will be back at Oscar Wilde's at the Cafe Royal at some point! read more

I brought my Mum here for a lovely afternoon tea. Although they have a cafe next to the hotel entrance, the actual Afternoon Tea is served in the Oscar Wilde Bar, so you should use the main hotel entrance. The staff are very pleasant and although we arrived a few minutes before they opened, after we put our coats in the cloakroom, we were ushered into the restaurant straight away. There is a mountain of tea to choose from. Our tastes are pretty ordinary so it was not long before we had 2 pots of tea on the table and a stand of assorted savory treats were before us shortly thereafter. The cakes and scones came out next and since everything is so filling they were very gracious in boxing up what we could not eat and letting us bring it home. Needless to say everything was delicious. read more

For an expensive and luxury cafe one expects permission to relax and enjoy ones drink. I would argue that this is the absolute minimum requirement of such a venue. The service was continuously surly and the wait staff felt it reasonable to walk past every minute or so scowling at the table. I especially enjoyed the scorn received on asking for tap water to clean my palette. Really didn't make for a pleasant experience. The food and drink was beautifully presented, however I would have felt more relaxed and welcomed in the Starbucks just down the road. A disappointment. read more

Desserts for dinner! What more could you want! We went in a group to experience the lovely dessert menu options they offer. The menu offers several three, four and five course selections, with optional wine pairing, to choose from. And boy, is it hard to choose! Everything sounds so delicious. I chose the 3-course Memories Of A Child menu, which at the time included Gaspacho, Yozu Yogurt and a strawberry and cream lollipop. The atmosphere is quite airy and relaxed, so we chatted while eagerly awaiting our food. The Gaspacho came with "molecular gastronomy" style olive oil beads and olive crumble, delicately arranged on the Burrata, which unfortunately was swept and drowned in the cold soup they served on top. The watermelon and tomato paired very well together, the soup was slightly greasy and a bit oversalted, especially paired with an already salty ham and cheese pairing. The Yozu Yogurt was amazing, delicately flavoured Lego style bricks that were light and fluffy. Served with crunchy meringues, velvety sherbert, smooth lemon curd and a tangy lemon crumble. While the plate looked slightly messy, the tastes and textures were absolutely fantastic. This was definitely my favourite dish. The strawberry lollipop wasn't quite what we expected. The wooden lollipop stick came out immediately and didn't hold the almost runny dessert at all, making it impossible to pick it up and nibble away. As soon as the cold strawberry flavoured crust was broken, the creamy dessert inside ran all over the place. Awkwardly picking it up with the spoon worked to manoeuvre a mixture of creamy vanilla and poached strawberries into one's oral cavity. The following taste sensation definitely made it worth the effort of trying to eat this mess without spilling it everywhere. The dishes were definitely aimed at pleasing the eye, but the tastes and textures were not completely neglected. I did feel the price was a touch too high for what was offered and we ended up having seven meals on our bill when there were only six of us. This was corrected eventually, but only after we were accused of not paying our bill fully. Overall it was definitely an experience worth splurging on, I'll be back to sample more of their delicate creations! read more

I came here for a pre-theatre meal with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday. It's a nice space with interesting costumes and art around the place. Service was fast. I had the yellowfin tuna nicoise which was an elevated version of this salad (see picture). Beautifully seared tuna with a small quails egg, olives, green beans, salad leaves and a little fondant potato. Lovely ingredients though needed a little more seasoning. Overall would recommend BUT quite expensive for what it is. Only one vegetarian option offered too. We used a gourmet society card for 25% off total bill so ultimately good value. Not worth the money full price thouh. read more

Top notch world class hotel. I've very much enjoyed my stay here especially the part where everyone knew my name and greeted me with a smile. I got a suite here and loved it. When I checked in the front desk lady actually walked me into my room to make sure it was to my liking. The room had no pictures hung but the architecture itself was a work of art. My two favorite things about the room was the huge shower and heated floors. The windows were doubled up to prevent any street noise from coming in. Everything is pricey here but they have the service to back it up. My breakfast was delicious and concierge goes out of their way to get you anything you need. You really felt that the staff has your best interest in mind. My only disappointment was the afternoon tea I had here. I didn't really enjoy the taste of the food. read more

The Cafe Royal is an odd bar and I can't quite make up my mind as to whether I am a fan or not. Some parts are extremely pleasant and others quite the opposite. It features a number of different bar rooms; The Grill Room is decked out in a very old-fashioned way and is the sort of place you would feel happy taking your grandparents for a birthday tea! The Daniel's Bar located downstairs is slightly more lively for the younger folk and they often have special events including live music and entertainment. It is a great place to escape from the bustle of Regent Street even if you can't benefit from a company paid free bar. The music is low enough that you can hear your conversations and you can just about manage to grab one of the comfy sofas. Prices are not as bad as you'd expect - a spirit and mixer worked out at around £3. I completely expected Cafe Royal to be a tourist haunt as it is so predominant on Regent Street and just has that look about it from the outside. I should not judge a book by its cover however but still feel that it is a somewhat odd and 'fragmented' type place. read more
