Cafe Portrait

We had a lovely afternoon tea. Staff were very friendly. Great value for money and it is such a lovely venue Goodie bags provided for what we couldn’t eat.

Very enjoyable afternoon tea at the Portrait Gallery. Cannot fault the quality of the food or the friendliness and efficiency of the staff.

The cakes were delicious as also and so were the mini bagels. The member of staff was very attentive which was lovely. I have been a few times and love the setting. Unfortunately the soup was rather bland lentil whereas it is usually really interesting and different. Also, the sandwich of cream cheese and cucumber was rather bland - salmon would have been nice. Lastly the scones were rather dry. I will come back because it has been better every other time.

Great experience ! Lovely side room so beautiful setting and the tea was incredible mostly home made including delicious jam. Booking and service all easy too Then you can walk the food off by exploring the amazing art gallery.

Good place to eat in a busy city. Value for money

Lovely place setting, beautiful presentation. Gorgeous food. Good at accommodating dietary requirements such as gluten free. Was a lovely afternoon tea!

We had a lovely afternoon tea which served in the quiet room. I loved the little bowl of soup and the beautiful presentation of the dishes. Very nice cake selection and we had our first taste of edible flowers. The scones would be my least favourite part as think I would have expected 'different' scones from the usual there and they were rather dry. Also one jar of jam and cream were a bit small portion for the four scones however the black currant jam was delicious.

Was given our afternoon tea as a gift. Lovely variety. Petite soup. Lemony posset. Dainty delicious cakes.
