    February 2016, Our Afternoon visit

    After our lunch at Benares in February 2016 – please see review – we visited the Metropolitan by COMO Hotel in London.

    We made a quick stop to warm up at the Lobby Lounge, because it was a bit cold and raining during our February afternoon while out and about.

    We had already some experience with COMO, having stayed at the Halkin Hotel, just a few steps away.

    We were impressed by the stylish and whimsical, but comfortable interior design.

    Would it have been a bright day, the lobby would have been light flooded due to the floor to ceiling windows.

    The staff members were very discreet, not really visible and arrived just in time when you needed them, like magic, so this was an outstanding experience. Of course they were charming and efficient too.

    We ordered tea, hot chocolate, a Vital Veg Juice and the Cashew ice cream sundae with walnuts, blueberries and verbena jelly.

    The juice and sundae were from the COMO Shambala Cuisine Menu.

    The juice included locally grown tomatoes, carrots, celery, peppers, cucumber, fennel, pumpkin, parsley, basil and lemon juice. It was delicious.

    The hot chocolate was rich and the tea again by JING.

    The sundae was really interesting and the jelly the most unique part. It was refreshing. The textures and flavors worked well together. We didn’t miss “normal” milk based ice cream at this time.

    The bill was just under 40 GBP (ca. 52 Euro or 58.80 USD).

    We would return again and we would want to stay at the Metropolitan by COMO Hotel in our future.

    Would we recommend this venue to a friend? YES!

    Must have missed your Benares review – one of my favourites London restaurants… (now seen it)

    Rather surprised you had room for anything after a meal at Benares… rainy weather or otherwise….:)

    @MartynSinclair, glad you found our Benares review, it’s a beautiful and memorable restaurant and yes, we would eat there again in our future.

    We’d been out and about for a longer time during our afternoon and felt a bit under the weather, it was raining and felt somewhat gloomy in Feb. and we visited then the Lobby Lounge at the Metropolitan by COMO to “perk” us up and we are glad we did this. Highly recommended, so much so that we would want to stay with them in our future.

    Cheers & Safe Travels.
