Of its type this place is one of the best I know. It's elegant, the service and food are really good, and, whilst expensive, is not, in my view, overpriced. Go there prepared to enjoy yourself.
AntonyMay 10, 2019Decide why you want to go. Go for the beautiful building, ambience and relaxed pace. No dress code too. But don't go if you're after good service or stand out food, as there it fails.
Bijan KafiSeptember 5, 2017Very classic ambience, excellent food, perfect presentation of everything you order. However, the waiters come across as rather "relaxed" for the establishment. Also, very expensive.
Janos KoenigJanuary 27, 2017A very nice environment, always full hence quite noisy, good service and the food is pretty good, not necessarily exceptional. A large and varied wine list however, expensively priced!
IrinaFebruary 3, 2015Great for Brunch! Eggs Benedict were supreme; omelette Arnold Bennet - very interesting & original recipe but eggs were a bit runny for my taste.
Literally the best eggs benedict in London town! Be sure to replace the ham with smoked salmon!
Hisham KApril 16, 2014Egg Benedict with Salmon is out of this world 😋 This place never fails to impress 👍
Abdalla Nasir ALNuaimiJune 13, 2022Veal schnitzel, shredded chicken salad and the oysters 🦪.. all of them were so good
Alex EliasDecember 30, 2017Very nice afternoon tea. One order is definitely more than enough for two people. The biscuits were the best
Tom HoweOctober 9, 2013Stunning 1920's style restaurant that kinda left me feeling that I was in a Chicago train station.. (think Untouchable film). Impeccable service and great european style food!
Roberto CosteSeptember 8, 2014The scones with fresh butter and jelly are delicious! A obligated visit if your going to London. Always reserve on advance

Sarah AAugust 22, 2013Egg Benedict is a must! And pancakes with berries 👍 highly recommended for one of a kind experience
The Wall Street JournalAugust 1, 2012You could look inside this place and think it’s been around for a century, but in fact it only opened as a restaurant in 2003. Breakfasts here are a firm favorite among London’s movers and shakers. Read more

Frank RimalovskiMay 29, 2017Perhaps my favorite breakfast spot in the world. Elegant and (everything is) delicious!
The Times and Sunday TimesOctober 1, 2014The Wolseley is my default refuge when stranded, hungry, late at night in Mayfair. And Christmas shopping is unbearable without stopping in for both lunch and tea. Read more

Scot ImrieJuly 21, 2021Outstanding service in beautiful surrounds. Breakfast was great - kippers delicious and fantastic french toast. Highly recommend!
Hanna KayJanuary 10, 2016The Eggs Benedict were good but nowhere close to being perfect. Better book ahead to secure a seat in the main room.
Di KadyrovaMay 5, 2014Love this place for breakfast / brunch and any other meal. Note that creme brûlée is huge (compared to classic French portions)!
Mario BarrajaApril 7, 2016Outstanding if not pricey experience but worth it. The sole, the crab and all the side dishes were good and the wine list too
PeaRJanuary 4, 2013Decent eggs florentine, delicious pancakes with berries! Even without adding maple syrup. Can be crowded, better to book first

Jorge ArnanzApril 23, 2013One of the best afternoon teas in London, with a great location and service. Not expensive at all, compared to other restaurants in the area...
Guy CorbetFebruary 4, 2017Wonderful old building. Service just right. Delicious traditional food. Look no further than snails and calves liver, separately
Eggs Benedict with bacon is easily superior to the ham version but I still wish they had more Hollandaise sauce or larger eggs with the dish.
Mohammed 🍴September 6, 2022Defined one of the best breakfast spot and afternoon tea in central London
Fahad AlmutairiApril 26, 2018Vingreated Avocado & Moroccan Tagine on Thursday you can never go wrong about them
