Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Aldgate

Had a wonderful night with friends, celebrating a six star medalist post-marathon on a perfect Spring evening for alfresco dining. Service from Petr and the rest of the team was exceptional and the Spring feast was a delicious assortment of their culinary highlights

We only had drinks, we didn't eat but this is a really lovely space, great views, lovely ambience, friendly and accommodating staff and will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing high tea, phenomenal service and great ambience. Definitely recommend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

From the moment I made the reservation, the service and communication were nothing short of exceptional. The booking confirmation process was seamless, and I even had the opportunity to arrange for a birthday cake to be stored ahead of time—truly thoughtful touches that set the tone for the evening. I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment over the weekend, and as the night drew to a close, the first thought on my mind was returning. Despite the presence of other casual diners, the atmosphere was serene and welcoming, offering the perfect environment to relax and savor the experience. The food was a masterpiece. The balance of flavors and the subtle, enchanting aromas that unfolded with each bite were simply magical. Chef Bateman's vision of a "melting pot of cultures and cooking styles" truly came to life in each dish, leaving a lasting impression. Equally impressive was the staff, who were the perfect complement to an already outstanding experience. From the warm welcome of the hostess to the impeccable service throughout the evening, every detail was attended to with care. I’d like to give a special mention to our waitress, Chip. Her attentive service—replenishing our drinks promptly, ensuring our orders were just right, and taking the time to ask for feedback at the end—demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement, even when the service has already exceeded expectations. In conclusion, I highly recommend Straits Kitchen. But don't just take my word for it—experience it for yourself.

It was a good experience overall, except on a Saturday they have this disco going on. The restaurant was empty except for one table and the music was so loud you could barely talk to the person opposite without shouting. Ruined the lunch and we had to move. But the food was fine. service was fine as we were virtually only ones there
