I always recommend Urban Retreat Cafe for a quiet peaceful brunch in between shopping. The menu is very good, and prices are typical of the area - about £10-12 for a brunch with 2 eggs. I had Eggs Royale which was absolutely divine and would definitely return to re-order again. Delicious juices and hot drinks too, the perfect spot to catch-up with a friend over brunch. Staff are polite and welcoming but not overly friendly.

Was My second visit and had afternoon Tea both times. The first one was better. The sandwiches tasted just nothing. The scone okay. The sweets were not very good.

A good ambience, overlooking the large staircase. I was impressed with the food, it was beautifully cooked with lovely flavours. Veggies were still nice and green. Fab, luxurious frozen yoghurt.

My daughter and I had a lovely table under the spectacular Eqyptian ceiling. Great spot to get away and relax when overwhelming by all going on at Harrods. The food was healthy and beautifully served by pleasant staff. Although for value you can eat like this for less money you are in Harrods after all and don't have to leave the store for quality food. We have eaten there many times and have always enjoyed being there.

Went for a cream tea on Mother's day. Not good access for a wheelchair on the quieter balcony so had to sit in the main area where there's a constant flow of people going between departments. Tea and scones were served quickly and the scones were warm and light with plenty of cream and jam - but no butter. Table was too small for two teapots, cups, plates etc but we managed. With sticky fingers after though, we asked for a wet wipe or finger bowl - but were told neither was available. At £13.50per head and given Harrod's motto used to be "anything from a pin to an elephant" - it was a sign of the times that we obviously expected too much but then again you only have to look at who they allow through the doors and the behaviour of so many customers, to understand why Harrod's lower standards are only reflecting the clients they serve today - so go somewhere else if you want good service and better value.

Our seats were unusally placed in the stairwell almost which wasn't great. The service was good but the menu was limited
