    So pretty
    Cecilia H.

    I wanted to have afternoon tea while in London and found out about this place. I was excited that they had vegan and vegetarian afternoon tea. We were immediately greeted and sat since I made reservations online. Customer Service was amazing and we were checked on often. The food was so good and there was nothing we didn't like. When I am in London again, I will definitely be returning.

    Visiting my son who booked the chocolate high tea service. FANTASTIC! The atmosphere was swank-of course. But the food was really impressive. I'd planned on trying a variety of English teas and this was the perfect time. I tried each one and our waiter, Janos, was quite helpful. He even let us have extra sandwiches. His service was impeccable without being stuffy. Which was unexpected because there were folks there dressed to impress but I'd been up 24 hours traveling and looked like hell. But he treated us just as well! Be sure to try the hot chocolate! The sandwiches look so plain with that soft, white bread. But they tasted so good that we ordered some duplicates. All included in the price. The scones were nice but I prefer clotted cream to chantilly whatever they served. Don't get me wrong, we finished that too. The chocolates at the top were fabulous. So decadent! Tiny, little tiramisu! I wished I had room left because they would have brought more! Don't miss this if you want to try a proper English tea service and love chocolate!

    I slouched on the rotating armchair with the 3 tier afternoon tea served up in front of me, as my eyes worked from top to bottom admiring the pattisier's work, the engaging colours and arrangement of the food and begin to wonder how I should approach it. [pic] the most eye catching, colourful, sinful desserts are strategically placed on top. And so, I started with the savoury sandwiches which constitues of: 1. treacle cured salmon, lemon mayo and watercress 2. roast ham, piccalili, mustard cress 3. cucumber cream cheese, dill on tomato bread 4. somerset brie with plum chutney. The bread had dried out forming a slight crust, not visible to the naked eye but was undeniable when we ate. The quality of the bread was only merely average and the filling was so thin that it seemed tightwad. The scones were very buttery (and nice butter too) but were a little dry. The selection of cakes and fancies did better than the savouries. We had strawberry macaroon, millionaire shortbread, fruit tartlet, super moist chocolate cake, pimms jelly and chocolate eclair. The winner was the super moist chocolate cake followed by a highly commended fruit tartlet. The May Fair Kitchen was very comfortable and I could imagine myself quite happy being left alone in my own world, sipping the bottomless tea and coffee. Luckily they gave me a doggy bag to take, because I am not quite used to eating so many sweets at once. I hope that my lucky trail is a never ending path because afternoon tea is something I could have more often. Especially when it is an indulgent one. Cheers!

    After eating so many heavy meals on our trip to London, my husband and I decided to get tapas on…read moreour last night. We found Condesa online and were able to snag a last minute reservation. The restaurant was a little small but it was cozy and the atmosphere was perfect for a girls or date night. My favorite was the tuna tartar tostada and hummus and pumpkin tostada. The cheese plate was also great for the price. Everything was light and refreshing.

    While in London, met up with family for dinner at Condesa before catching a show. We were able to…read morewalk in and be seated right away without a reservation. This was probably my favorite restaurant while visiting. My absolute favorite tapa was the tuna tartar tostadas. We also got the lamb, albondigas, and sliders. We didn't leave a crumb! My sister and her husband also ordered the hummus tostadas, roasted cauliflower, and grilled carrots. She's not the biggest tapas fan so I was so glad she enjoyed the food as well. We got a pitcher of red sangria to add to the experience and ended dinner with the Pan de Elote, which was quite the crowd pleaser. The restaurant is definitely in the "it" part of the city, lots of foot traffic and so many things going on around the place. The setup is real cool too. We sat at the bar, which is right in front of the kitchen so you get to watch as the cooks prepare the dishes. The service was real fast too. It is a bit on the pricey side, but if you don't mind splurging a bit, it's definitely worth trying!

The famous Juan Pedro Domecq melted in your mouth, was full of flavor and a must try. While the Tiger Prawns were very flavorful, they are a bit messy to eat as you have to peak them with your fingers and they are drenched in butter/oil and seasoning. Other items like the Patatas bravas are all pretty standard. Just remember even the Ribeye is a "tapas" sized serving.

    Absolutely amazing restaurant. Coming from LA I'm used to enjoying mocktails so I was very happy…read morethat this restaurant served quite literally the best tasting and fresh mocktails I had in London. The sangria was refreshing and crisp even when I was the last person dining before they closed and luckily the fruit inside the sangria was still fresh! Before coming in I was disappointed with another restaurant and although I was unaware they would be closing soon the lovely hostess seated me and I was still able to get some amazing food. Great gluten free options for it being a Spanish tapas restaurant where most of the time they cook with a lot of gluten. The Spanish Octopus truly encapsulated the flavors of Spain. The mix of different spices engrained in the chipotle aioli sauce and the purée of the potato with the fresh crisp octopus was beyond. Manchego cheese and anchovies appetizer was also great although I wish the cheese came with more jam as whatever it was made of (it had hints of apple) was also phenomenal. Friendly staff and also great fun interior design (as I always appreciate a restaurant that has a nice ambiance). Would definitely love to come back and highly recommend for anyone to visit in London.
