    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!

    Yum! Delightful, intimate,…read more Enjoyed the pasta de fruit. Lovely flavors. Small seafood bits. The clams were Very small. Close to my hotel. Would come again. .

    My husband and I stumbled (quite literally) into Bocconcino after hitting a wall of jet lag and…read morehunger. The hostess took pity on us and allowed us spots at the bar without reservations. The bartender was absolutely charming and amazing, and he made a truly outstanding Ramos Gin Fizz (a cocktail from New Orleans that few people know how to make, and even fewer want to make). Not sure how that cocktail came up, but he seriously deserves a round of applause for making not one, but two. He truly revived my soul! I split the gazpacho and short rib pasta with my husband. The short rib pasta was magically both light and hearty; it was exactly what we needed after 18 hours of travel. We frequently travel, and I am highly skeptical of Italian food when outside of Italy. Bocconcino was an authentic experience that rivals many of our meals in Rome. Maybe it was jet lag, but I did almost lock myself into the water closet and luckily after a few minutes manage to unlock the stall door without calling for assurance. I suggest visiting with a friend for gossip and security! As far as ambiance, there was great people watching with the Saturday evening patrons; it was an experience in learning about London 'going out' fashion, and watching the very attractive staff interact with customers was a prime education in upper class customer service/flirting. My parting comment is that the bartender stole my heart and I hope to have another of his delicious beverages on a future trip!
