点评:Recently visited Picadilly Bistro with some friends for High Tea. I was looking forward to it as it I really enjoy a good high tea, and have tried quite a few others on the island.
The price seemed very reasonable, $40/person. We arrived and were offered mimosas, which were included and I though was a nice touch. They had a non-alcohol option for kids which was also nice. The servers were attentive and quick to refill tea pots and water glasses.
The presentation was what you would expect for a high tea, and the plates were filled with a mountain of food. I did find some of the food sub-par from the standard, especially as I have heard nothing but raves about this place and the 'home made' pastries and desserts. I do understand the time, effort, and cost that go into preparing a fully home made high tea. A lot of the pastries that 'appear' home made are not, and are mass produced and come out of a box to be baked, but I guess that's what you get for $40/person. A couple of the scones served to us were over baked and very tough although they tasted ok.
I definitely would not say this is on par with The Empress or others, I'm surprised other people would say that. But, that being said, you won't find a high tea for $40 literally anywhere else.
We did not eat off the lunch menu, but the food that was being taken out to other tables did look quite good.
I would visit again, being better prepared for what to expect.
翻译:最近和一些朋友一起去了皮卡迪利小酒馆喝下午茶。我很期待它,因为我真的很喜欢下午茶,并且在岛上尝试过很多其他茶。
价格似乎很合理,40美元/人。我们到达并获得了含羞草,这是包括在内的,但我觉得很贴心。他们为孩子们提供了一种不含酒精的选择,这也很好。服务器很细心,可以快速重新装满茶壶和水杯。
介绍是您对下午茶的期望,盘子里装满了一大堆食物。我确实发现了一些低于标准的食物,特别是因为我只听到对这个地方和“自制”糕点和甜点的狂欢。我确实了解准备完全自制的下午茶所花费的时间、精力和成本。许多“看起来”是自制的糕点实际上不是,而是大量生产并从盒子里拿出来烘烤,但我想这就是每人 40 美元就能得到的东西。提供给我们的几个烤饼虽然味道还不错,但烤过头了而且很硬。
我绝对不会说这与皇后或其他人相提并论,我很惊讶其他人会这么说。但是,话虽如此,您在其他任何地方都找不到 40 美元的下午茶。
我们没有吃午餐菜单上的食物,但被带到其他餐桌上的食物看起来确实不错。
我会再次访问,为期待的事情做好更好的准备。
