Tea At 73 - Cardiff

Refused to cater for vegan when making a booking. No explanation, guy on phone was very rude!

18/02/2018 On Friday we had a lovely time at Tea at 73 for an Afternoon tea for 2 which was both vegan and gluten free! We had a lemon drizzle cake, chocolate cake and a cashew cheese cake; cucumber sandwiches, yellow pepper sandwich and tomato garlic bruchette. Pricy £36 from two and had to be pre booked. Very impressed with the gluten free. They made everything themselves not prebought at all. They could be more innovative with the sandwiches though using other fillings and would have liked to see scones. We had the option that unlimited tea so we tried blueberry Hibiscus; Lemongrass ginger and chamomile; all loose fresh brewed tea. We had in total 4 pots with 8 cups of tea each! We drink as much hot lemon water but not so much tea. We had afternoon at 8 pm as we both were working. The place is so lovely with light music and we were lucky to have the place to ourselves with a bartender Mandy who I found out is vegetarian who wants to go vegan. She was so lovely she asked us if we wanted to see what one of the rooms looked like in the hotel. It's beautiful! She never knew about the vegan options in Cardiff and about Happycow. If you want a Romantic quite setting this is a place for a special day. It was our 1st time having afternoon tea and it was on my list to do since I found out about this place last year. Absolutely recommend!

I wouldn't normally do that, but I think it's so unfair to leave bad reviews for a place you've never been. Based on a TV program that shows what you want to see. Very childish!

This restaurant is in a lovely location, very close to the city center but far enough away from the noise. The rooms are nicely decorated and there is a great bar area. The food was delicious and of high quality. We were fortunate enough to have nice weather, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating area. We tried their own brand of gin, Infusion 73, and ended up purchasing a bottle to take home. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we will definitely be returning.

I had my daughter's baby shower today. Nice. Some had afternoon tea some tapas with groundless gin or prossco. We all had a great time. Nice place and great service especially of Shauna, who participated in our needs.
