ELAN Cafe. 42 Hans Crescent, London SW1X 0LZ

"To be honest i did have higher expectations of here going by what I had been seeing online but and once got there a bit took back. Beautiful design of pink all around though..Downstairs chairs are a bit worn. Other people who walked in long after us were getting their cold drinks orders before us. Otherwise a pretty restaurant to take pictures in which is why I mainly went there. A drink I ordered came nothing like the design picture on their menu. Cake was lovely though"

"When I got there, it looked all fancy and the decor was really pretty. We ordered just these things and it didn’t have a good taste. Turkish delight hot chocolate was extremely sweet. Pistachio had no exciting taste, wasn’t worth £8 for small portions. Total came up to £30 isn’t worth the price"

"I love the food at el&n. It’s healthy and must be tried. The underground level is beautiful for bloggers who wants to take pictures. I love their mug collections too that they sell in store, they r really good. I just this that the location by Harrods needs to be renovated. It is very popular location and got used so bad. You can see the dirt on the walls. The bathroom door is right close to some of the tables Inside which makes u feel Weird sitting next to the toilet. The chairs and tables are old and over used. I gave 4 star for the food and the fact that I knew ho this place was couple years ago not for its current situation now."

"We have visited Elan on Hans Cres with a baby i pushchair.I was a bit nervous seeing those bad reviews here but our visit was very pleased.We have been greeted by manager and she set us downstairs as we have requested sit there. She was very nice smiling and we felt welcome from beginning.The waiter came in a few minutes after and took our order. He also describes the drinks which we have ordered with passion:) We got the coffees and desserts in about 5 min later. They checked as back if we need anything else few times always nice and politely way. Amazing place to take pictures. Easy access to underground. Only one minus there was a bit chilly downstairs Buy definitely recommend we had a really nice time."

"Had really high expectations after wanting to go for so long. I went with a friend for brunch/lunch to the Cafe near Park Lane. The drinks menu is nice, a lot of variety and very well presented drinks. Not a lot of choice food wise but plenty of cakes. Generally pricey. Particularly bad, where we were seating, there were loads of flies around - Turn out to be really uncomfortable/annoying. We asked to be sat downstairs, but the waiter said there were no tables available. Nobody did anything until the very end of our meal, when one of the supervisors asked us if we wanted to move to another table. We just paid and left as we already ate. Also, the staff, although very nice, were really insisting. We had 5 of them coming to ask what we wanted to order in a space of less than 10 minutes. With a menu so complex, you would expect clients to take some time going through (especially if it's the first visit)"
