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.

We had an amazing time! Food is incredible definitely some of the best I’ve ever tasted! Service was top notch too, everything just running so smoothly and calmly. It’s so refreshing to be somewhere that does everything they do to such a high standard. We had tasting menu, which was exceptional! Hard to chose favorites but the broccoli was such a surprise and seriously one of the best things iv ever tasted! Obviously chicken wings and pork belly also amazing, succulent. The attention to detail and all the sauces and condiments too, really thoughtful and all such a perfect balance of strong Flavours. We will be back I am sure! Thank you so much!

Having been twice in as many weeks shows the quality of Bloomsbury Street Kitchen. Mediterranean/Japanese fusion is exciting and the food lives up to this hype. From sashimi to gnocchi, tempura to rigatoni, everything is very flavourful and delicious. Smiley staff makes everything better
