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!
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.
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!
Abdalla Nasir ALNuaimiJune 13, 2022Veal schnitzel, shredded chicken salad and the oysters 🦪.. all of them were so good
Hisham KApril 16, 2014Egg Benedict with Salmon is out of this world 😋 This place never fails to impress 👍

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
