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.

Everything about the service was perfect. The only let down was the food - I ordered the Mauve aubergine, smoked coconut yoghurt, fragrant sticky rice. The sticky rice was cooked to perfection but the mauve aubergine with the smoked coconut yogurt wasn’t that great. I’ve had better meals at the restaurant. Aside from that the staffs are amazing and friendly. I will still return and try another meal.

Our 1st visit. The 3 of us greeted warmly, made to feel very welcome. Ambience very relaxing, a light, airy interior. Service was consistently friendly and discreetly attentive. We had a mix of Mediterranean and Japanese dishes. Outstanding were the beef tataki tender, mouth-watering, escargot, balls of astonishing deliciousness, the crab bucatini, flavoursome and generous. Loved the dj playing as we rounded off our dining. We aim to test out all the menu eventually !

Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from

Older dining area downstairs from a book shop. Not super fancy, which was exactly what we were looking for in our afternoon tea. The tea was good, the sandwiches were ok, and the scones were excellent. Overall, I felt like it was a good value. I would recommend Tea and Tattle.
