I
did
not
stay
at
Cafe
Forty
One,
but
had
a
wonderful
afternoon
dining
outside.
My
sister,
a
friend
and
I
opted
for
the
vegan
afternoon
tea
with
a
non
alcoholic
fizzy
beverage.
Our
friend
is
vegetarian,
but
my
sister
and
I
are
carnivores,
however,
we
are
open
to
new
or
different
experiences
and
have
a
few
vegan
friends
so
have
eaten
some
vegan
food
before.
As
soon
as
we
arrived
at
the
hotel
we
were
made
to
feel
welcome
and
were
given
the
choice
about
where
we
wanted
to
dine,
inside
the
restaurant
or
outside.
Once
seated
we
were
provided
with
menus,
to
select
our
teas
or
coffees
and
from
that
moment
onwards
the
staff
were
polite,
friendly,
attentive
and
approachable.
The
afternoon
tea
was
presented
beautifully
and
delicately
with
bright
colours,
almost
too
pretty
to
eat.
We
agreed
unanimously
that
everything
we
had
eaten
was
delicious.
The
sandwiches
were
dainty,
moist
and
flavorful
(my
favourites
were
the
cashew
nut
butter
and
pickle
and
the
watercress
and
tofu?).
The
pastries
were
light
and
incredibly
tasty,
especially
the
coconut
flavoured
one.
The
coconut
spread
was
divine
and
went
perfectly
with
the
scones.
I
have
eaten
some
vegan
food
before,
but
never
afternoon
tea.
I
thought
the
concept
was
very
creative
and
executed
beautifully.
One
of
our
hosts,
unfortunately
I
do
not
recall
her
name,
highly
recommend
the
burger
next
time
we
visit.
I
am
eagerly
anticipating
our
next
meal
at
Cafe
Forty
One.
