Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Purley

We had a lovely lunch at Joia! The servers took very well care of us, and were always kind and joyful which made the experience all the better. We chose the Octopus salad as an entrée; the Bacalhau à Brás for our mains, and finally both the Chocolate orange mousse and Spiced pineapple for dessert. Everything was delightful and tasty. As a Portuguese person living in London, it was great to see some of our very traditional dishes levelled up, though they all remained very soulful and delicious as per Portuguese cuisine. Though it was gloomy outside, the view was incredible. The rooftop was unfortunately closed, and we were told it'll be open from April for the summer months, so another reason to come back. Muito obrigado for the experience, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful deco, clean, good lighting, pleasant staff , nice food - trofie, chicken alla cacciatora, burrata, pistachio tiramisu

The service was so friendly and attentive. It was quiet so a fantastic place to have a catch up with a friend over sandwiches and cake.

The staff were outstanding and went over and above during the meal. The food was great and being able to have a vegan desert was an added bonus.

A beautiful place to dine. They were kind, patient and accommodating. The service was wonderful and the food divine. We had Afternoon Tea and they supplied a box to take home as we could not finish it all. The Christmas decorations are elegant, the fire was lit and made it feel cosy. We are definitely going back.
