  “Highly recommended if you would like to experience upscale English high tea. Sandwiches were light yet tasty. The scones were moist and rich. The pastries were sophisticated and amazing. Not the cheapest. But it was a memorable experience. We had similarly-priced afternoon tea at the Shard Shangri-La, for which I would give two stars. This place is a clear winner.”

  “If I could give this more stars I would! I had the most amazing afternoon tea at the cafe royal. To start with, the venue is incredible. The decor is so fine with the most amount of gold I’ve ever seen. The tables are nicely spaced out so you have time for yourself. The service was brilliant too. Sometimes walking into these kinds of establishments you can be treated a certain way - but not here. We were treated with such patience and kindness. The afternoon tea we had matched the greatness of everything else. Every part of it was truly delicious. We had a particular obsession for the egg sandwich. I highly recommend a visit!”

  “I had a wonderful lunch at Café Royal in London, with a grand and elegant interior that makes the whole experience feel very special. The piano music was wonderful and created a beautiful atmosphere that really added to the charm of the room. The service was polished, warm, and attentive, and the food was generally very good and nicely presented, although my steak was a little gummy for my taste. Even with that small detail, I still really enjoyed my time there and loved the mix of history, luxury, and live music. I highly recommend Café Royal for a stylish lunch in central London and would be happy to return”

  “Cafe Royal Grill was an exceptional and unique experience! The restaurant is quite remarkable, being ornate with gold-coloured walls and mirrors and a pianist playing beside you. The waiters are proper and the dining experience is enjoyable. It feels very upscale at a quite reasonable price! The food here is really nice, the steak was up to spec!”

  “A very grand restaurant much like The Ritz dining room - very elegant and cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and food was reasonably priced and varied. Dessert menu was somewhat lacklustre- ie a few shaving of fruit slices with a sorbet! Otherwise super 👍. Hotel itself is grand - stayed in a Grand Deluxe room- loved the TV in the mirror whilst brushing your teeth 😬. Spacious and warm. Reception team great. Used the spa pool briefly and relaxed in their quiet resting rooms- smelt beautiful and great calming atmosphere. Top class Hotel right in the middle of Piccadilly.”

  “Had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Royal Grill at the beginning of the month. We were greeted by a young lady, who immediately took our coats and escorted us to our table. While walking towards our table, we got to experience the David Bowie afternoon tea piano music, which was a very nice touch. I would even go as far as to say that it would be great to have live music the whole dinner service, as it finished around the time when the afternoon tea service finished. It was certainly a very enjoyable performance and added to the feel of exclusivity as the hotel and restaurant are known to have hosted a lot of celebrities. The street side entrance (closed for winter) has a lot of pictures of their A list patrons. The team were very attentive and we were immediately checked for our drinks preferences and served a nice and refreshing glass of champagne. Our waiter was Emanuel and he was very attentive, recommended the dishes and was very knowledgeable. When asking him for suggestions for the wine, he called his colleague Mario, who was evidently very passionate about the wine list and suggested the best drinks to go with our meals. Emanuel also suggested the deserts and while I usually am quite unlucky in choosing, he hit the spot with his recommendation. The meringue was absolutely amazing. Talking about deserts, Mario suggested an absolutely amazing desert wine. I am not a fan of sweet wines, but this wine gave me goosebumps. What a great choice, but also, an amazing story by Mario and his knowledge around the drinks list does not leave a lot of questions unanswered. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and it was a very positive experience. We would certainly visit again.”

  “We had such a wonderful experience at Café Royal Grill celebrating my birthday. The atmosphere is elegant and beautifully decorated. It’s truly the perfect special occasion spot. Anais looked after us and provided truly exceptional service. The whole team was attentive, warm, and thoughtful throughout. Anais played a big part in making the evening feel so memorable. The food was excellent across the board. We especially loved the soufflé, steak, and sticky toffee pudding, although everything we tried was beautifully prepared. The setting is very romantic and intimate. It’s quiet enough to have a meaningful conversation with light piano in the background. The ambience is really lovely. They also made a lovely effort to acknowledge my birthday, which added a really nice personal touch to the evening. Thank you for making this a night to remember ❤️ we’ll definitely be back.”

  “We had a truly wonderful afternoon tea at Café Royal. The vegetarian selection was exceptional beautifully presented, thoughtfully curated, and full of flavour. Each savoury and pastry felt carefully crafted , which made the experience even more special. After being to many luxury afternoon teas in London I can say Cafe Royal is on our top 3 favourites. The service was impeccable: attentive, warm, and professional throughout. The team ensured everything was perfectly timed and regularly checked in without ever feeling intrusive. The ambience of Café Royal adds so much to the occasion — elegant, refined, and luxurious while still feeling comfortable and relaxed. It’s the perfect setting for a special celebration. Can't wait to come again for lunch or dinner.”

  “We had the afternoon tea at Café Royal Grill, and it was exceptional through and through. From the elegant setting to the impeccable service, everything exceeded our expectations. I would like to especially recognize Mohammed Mohammed, the doorman and greeter, who truly made our visit memorable. He was the first to invite us to take a look at the place, welcomed us warmly, and even helped us make our reservation. His politeness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality set the tone for a wonderful experience. A huge thank-you to the entire Café Royal Grill team — and particularly to Mohammed — for such a delightful afternoon. We’ll definitely be back!”
