Awesome(78)

Price: Expensive

• British • Bloomsbury

Ah, there really is nothing more wonderfully British than a nice cup of tea and an opportunity to put your feet up, something the folk at London’s Tea and Tattle know only too well. Situated under the atmospherically delightful Arthur Probsthain Oriental and African Bookseller (est. 1903 no less), Tea and Tattle is a very English escape from the stiff upper lips of the busy streets above. Painted in a bright white, the room is light and airy despite its subterranean location, one wall featuring hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, others eclectic art works, some of course related to the business of bookselling. Calling itself a ‘traditional tea room with a modern cultural twist’, Tea and Tattle specialises in that indulgent favourite, the afternoon tea. It’s a must for tourists and locals in need of a relaxing hour away from the office alike but for those needing something more practical to eat, there’s also a good range of high quality sandwiches, cakes and scones.

Excellent service with attentive staff. The food, mainly small plates, was excellent and the cocktails were unique and well made. Seating-wise, the majority of seating is high stools. There are 5-6 booths for groups of 3-6.

Lovely Thanksgiving Dinner at a quiet, delightful London restaurant with a friendly, welcoming and hospitable staff. The ONLY thing that could have been better would have been if we had been seated at a round table. Seated at a long table, it was not really confusing to inclusive conversation.

Loved this place - very fair prices, good portions, and very friendly service! Only marked down slightly as the interior is a bit bland, not much ambience. Could do with dimming the lights a bit and adding a few more touches on the decorating. But that’s my view - totally subjective. I’ll be back! Also…the best home made tiramisu I’ve EVER eaten. And my five friends also agreed!
