The Wolseley in City of London, Westminster

A very nice address in London. Outstanding

A very pretty restaurant especially for special dinners. Also nice that it isn’t to hard to make a reservation. The service is great and I would come again

Always impeccable service and great food. We were super late for our reservation due to road closures but they were so accommodating (parade on Piccadilly) and allocated us a table later than planned. We love it here and find the atmosphere much more pleasant than the city branch.

Went there last week for lunch. It's a stunning restaurant with great atmosphere. Service was very nice and efficient however I was very disappointed in the food. I started with chicken soup which was completely tasteless! It was basically coloured water. I then had the roast chicken which was quite dry. I tried a bit of somwone else's food (fish) and it was very nice so maybe I just got a bit unlucky but considering the price I was expecting a lot better

All great. Come back again for sure

I came for lunch, service was excellent

Absolutely amazing, the food was incredible, the staff were fantastic

This is my #1 most recommended high tea to experience while traveling to and through London! The space used to be a Rolls-Royce Dealership from our former century and the acoustics only add to that vibe! It's nice and loud and the dishwater alone are so very one of a kind that you want stop photographing. The Service here is of course impeccable and everything just comes together for that well rounded multi-coursed fun loud tea time! I suggest getting the package as it has unlimited Champagne! Enjoy this place - it's special! Cheers!

The Wolseley - London, UK An absolute must visit. The atmosphere, the food, the service was fantastic!

Had a delightful Christmas breakfast with my son-could not speak more highly of the interesting food, professional service, and gorgeous decorations. These Americans had a memorable time. Thank you!

Wonderful breakfast experience with friendly staff. Appreciated their wide range of coffee and tea selection. The classic vibe from the interior is unique.

Luxurious and old-time place for an exceptional afternoon tea. The staff is top notch and so are the prices.

Wonderful to go for breakfast, the menu is fantastic and the service is excellent. The room itself is worth a visit, so beautiful !

If I could give no stars, I would. The service is extremely poor. I used to love this place. Now they can 'madam/sir' you while offering you really bad service. No pepper/salt on the table. You can't even ask as the servers are actively avoiding you. Our omelette came without bread. We were not given an option. Also, for such a grand place, this is the least you could do

I'm reviewing The Wolseley restaurant here. Location: In Mayfair, on Piccadilly, next to the Ritz. That explains the prices. Service: Friendly. Ambiance: The highlight and the reason why you go here. Quality: Our afternoon tea was tasty, but the presentation wasn't outstanding. Prices: High, but we knew that. What is unacceptable is the 15% service charge added to the high prices. Conclusion: Overall very good, but a 15% surcharge is cheeky. If you find the review helpful, please click the “thumbs up” button.

Terrible service!!!! Waiter was super rude, he spoke poor English, we didn't understand anything he was saying and he still thought it was bad when we asked more than once. For the price, it's not worth the hype. The place is beautiful, but the food and service leave something to be desired!

The Wolseley Café is a fantastic spot for classic The Wolseley Café offers an outstanding dining experience that perfectly balances delicious food, luxurious ambiance, and impeccable service. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by an elegant interior that exudes timeless sophistication. The high ceilings, stunning chandeliers, and classic art deco design create a luxurious atmosphere that makes the visit feel special even before the first bite. The menu showcases the best of traditional English cuisine, and every dish we tried was prepared to perfection. From hearty classics to refined options, the flavors were rich, and the ingredients tasted fresh. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into the preparation of the food. The service was another highlight. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. They were quick to accommodate requests and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The Wolseley Café is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply indulge in excellent English food in a luxurious setting, it’s the perfect choice. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London, as it’s truly a memorable spot that combines elegance, tradition, and culinary excellence.

Came here for afternoon tea. Service and atmosphere are great. Food is good, sandwiches are tasty and scones are good.

Excellent experience! Our visit to this restaurant was simply wonderful. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and kindness, which set the tone for our evening. The staff were extremely friendly, discreet and always available for anything we needed. The food was simply wonderful! The flavors were well crafted, with thoughtful ingredients and fantastic presentation. We stood out [e.g. the salad with fresh vegetables, the fillet with handmade sauces, or the dessert of the day], which really excited us. The atmosphere of the venue was warm and inviting, with thoughtful decor and soft music that perfectly complemented the experience. We felt like we were in a really special place. Overall, the restaurant combines high quality food, excellent service and a unique atmosphere. We would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a special culinary experience! Adapt it to the characteristics of the particular restaurant you want to describe!

AVOID. If you absolutely have to come because you’re perishing of hunger (and the only other place serving is the Ritz next door which is even more of a rip off), or if you’re being forced to patronise by social convention, then I would recommend just getting a coffee (and maybe a pastry if you’re feeling generous). I know no one comes to Wolseley for the food but I expected it to be at least decent. As low as my initial expectations were, the English breakfast (see photo) at £24.50 with one sausage and no toast is an absolute travesty and crime against modern civilisation in the present economy. It’s £3 to add 2 slices of toast. And it took more than 30 mins for the food to arrive, and not all at the same time for the table! Outrageous! @Wolseley I plead you please to set higher standards for yourselves. Don’t be a mug like me. If you come for the ambience, just get a coffee and a pastry and try not to spend more than £10 because you will leave feeling dissatisfied and angry like I did, even when it was someone’s treat!

The food was all good quality. I ordered the 3 course set meal and was happy with my French onion soup, soufflé suisse, and salted caramel eclair, the latter of which I found I liked much better than I expected. My mom also enjoyed her eggs benedict and crème brûlée, and my dad his sea bream. We were seated in the bar room, so it was rather loud and crowded as it half-served as a waiting room. We spent about $100 for 3 people. It was a good experience, but I didn’t think it was a must-visit and it didn’t blow me out of the water. The bathrooms were also only so-so.

Always a pleasure to go for breakfast in a truly wonderful setting. Great choice of breakfast goodies and immaculate service. Love this place and it's sister location too. Treat yourselves

I stopped by for breakfast the other day. As expected, the atmosphere was good, and even though I didn't make a reservation, the staff member greeted me with a smile when I entered. After that, I was taken to a room on the left, but I was disappointed in the way the staff there treated me. I made a mistake in my order and tried to correct it right away, but the clerk who asked me the question just sighed and acted blatantly displeased. After that, I received customer service from that person and another person who asked me to leave the store. I'm sorry that I made a mistake once, but I think it was too much. It was a shame because the food and tea were delicious and the atmosphere was great.

Standards are slipping, waiter looks like he does not want to be there, service is slow and inattentive, portions smaller and food not as good as it used to be. Cakes are now individual cakes instead of the beautiful slices and not as good! How sad!

One of my favorite spots in London for any meal or just coffee. It’s still good but not as good as it used to be.

A glamorous spot for a special breakfast, brunch or lunch. Staff are friendly and relaxed, service superb, The surroundings make for a visit to remember if it's a treat, recommend booking ahead or the wait times can be lengthy at the door. Simply one of the best spots in town for a special occasion.

I have been going to Wolseley for several years as a resident and tourist when I lived abroad. I think it has been going downhill over the last few years. I brought my wife and kids, who had the eggs Benedict. It looked like it sat for a while before being served, as the Hollandaise was thick with a thin film and a bit cold. The Black Forest was a disappointing round cake made primarily from cream and cherries - not much to it. Service wasn't as good as it used to be. Waiters appear irritated when you ask them for something or help with the menu. I would still like it to be my go-to place in Green Park, but they must step up their game or end up as an overpriced tourist spot.

I came without a reservation, but the receptionist greeted me with a smile and kindly guided me around. However, it was only for a moment that I felt wonderful. I was guided to the middle seat on the left side of the entrance, and the tall man who served me there had a really bad attitude. I was irritated from beginning to end, and was confused between small and large, and just by asking the size, I took my frustration out on me. She had a good attitude when talking to other staff members, but it seemed like she was clearly having a bad attitude towards the customers. I felt very sick. Although the meal was delicious, I felt incredibly uncomfortable, so I left more than half of the meal I was looking forward to and left without drinking tea. There was another review from someone who was guided to a seat on the left side of the entrance and received similar customer service, so is there a rule for people sitting on the left side to behave in this way? Or maybe the same staff? I really don't recommend that seat. This was my worst memory of what happened in London. I'm very disappointed

A very atmospheric British-style afternoon tea, the scones are the best among the meals

+ An expensive breakfast, but worth the experience. A renowned cafè-restaurant located in a prime location. Sophisticated dining in a beautiful setting, with good service. A nice treat. - The English breakfast could have included a piece of toast at least for the price paid, rather than being an extra, charged, add on :/

We showed up as walk-ins, with very little hope and expectation; but Katerina at the front desk was so kind to give us a very nice and well located table for two, in spite of being fully booked. The ambience is unique and elegant. The service was excellent Peter at the front door is very friendly and a total gentleman.

5*️⃣ Highly recommended My parents and I enjoyed a fantastic Christmas Day lunch here where everything from the stunning dining room to the brilliant service and delicious food was truly world class. If you want to impress someone special or simply experience the opulence of this former marble-lined Luxury Car Showroom then you have to come here (but please book in advance as it is very popular). Flawless 10/10

Dear Sirs, Thank you for your response to my complaint. Firstly please accept my apologies for the poor English in my previous message, due to the fact that I used Google Translate. Unfortunately I have to say that I find your explanation unacceptable. This is due to the matter of the incorrect charge for wine on the first bill presented to me. Although you maintain that this was a human mistake, I feel that the use of the word “mistake” cannot be accurate. As I understand how your systems work, the table staff take the order and commit this to their mobile computer device. This, presumably, is logged on your central computer/server and the contents distributed to the areas involved e.g. Kitchen, wine delivery, table accounts etc. You will note that the wine ordered was the wine delivered to the table, thus following the course outlined above. Therefore for the wine charge on the bill to be substituted for a much more expensive one, albeit with a somewhat similar name, implies some human intervention in the process. When the first bill was queried, the waitress took it, without any comment, and very quickly returned with the amended one, again with no apology or any word. Once this was paid, she appeared reluctant to leave the bill with us. Additionally I would say that your reference to the amount being removed from the bill was not quite accurate. It was done but substituted by the correct amount of £80. I was, of course, quite happy to pay this. But your statement might be construed otherwise. In your reply you said that the incorrect amount was removed by your management. As this was to correct what should have been an obvious error, I fail to understand the involvement of Management and even less so your mention of this. Previously, I mentioned that I was not offered the chance to taste the wine before it was poured into all the glasses. For any wine of quality this is totally unacceptable. In this context I would add that I had to return a side dish of beans because the waiter concerned had his thumb significantly in the food when it was served. Finally I have to say that, as was known by your staff, our visit to your establishment was to celebrate the Silver Wedding of my mother and stepfather, who have been with you sometimes before. The above-mentioned situations unfortunately spoiled that evening for us. Yours faithfully, Peter Zakharov. Old Message "SIMPLY A SHAME!!! HERE YOU ARE SHIPPED AT AND IT IS PROBABLY ACCEPTABLE BY MANAGEMENT!!! It is a very nice ambience, the food is also great, everything tasted delicious. I also ordered a good wine to go with my good dinner. It is a shame that such a nice restaurant does not cultivate a wine culture. They did not let me taste my wine, but immediately felt ALL THE GLASSES!!! Also for the guests who drank other drinks! I went to this restaurant for the first time and thought that it could not get any worse. I was wrong! They then charged me for the MOST EXPENSIVE WINE on the menu, instead of the wine I ordered!!! The manager of this restaurant just said: sorry... In Munich in a restaurant of this rank, something like this is simply impossible!!! That is why I simply have to warn you: HERE YOU ARE SHIPPED AT AND IT IS PROBABLY ACCEPTABLE BY MANAGEMENT!!!"

A classic, elegant experience at The Wolseley. Afternoon cream tea and fancy ice creams for the kids. The food, service and ambiance were a perfect respite from the Boxing Day crowds downtown. Now off to see the lights. 🎄

The Wolseley, an elegant café-restaurant in London's Piccadilly, offers a quintessentially British dining experience that pays homage to its history as a former motor garage. The interior exudes a grand atmosphere, reminiscent of classic European brasseries, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Their Traditional English Breakfast is a highlight, featuring perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, premium sausages, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, and toast, all served with a side of black pudding. The portion is generous, embodying the essence of this beloved morning fare. Equally noteworthy is the Bubble and Squeak, a comforting dish made from leftover vegetables, particularly potatoes and cabbage, which is pan-fried to create a crispy exterior while retaining a soft, flavorful inside. The Wolseley elevates this classic dish, adding a touch of refinement. Overall, The Wolseley combines historical charm with exceptional British cuisine, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of traditional fare in an iconic setting.

Their food and services are excellent. Period!

The service at the reception wasn’t nice and the service was too slow. The food used to be much better. I have been to this restaurant many times before but this week the experience was negative. Unfortunately

[Revisit] I decided to visit London again 4 months later, and this restaurant was the first thing that came to my mind. I visited on December 24th, and I was grateful that they were open for business even during the holiday season (which is a tragedy for the employees), but I was told that there was a 30-minute wait around 4 p.m. I waited for about 25 minutes to get in 😌 This time I ordered cream tea and green tea. The scones were slightly warm and the tea was still fragrant and we had a wonderful time 😌 It was wonderful to see the tree-shaped decorations around the clock as Christmas decorations 🌲✨ This is the number one cafe I visited during my trip to England. With a very open space with high ceilings, a classic British interior, and lovely silver tableware, it's a wonderful experience that you won't find in Japan, and it's one of the restaurants you'll definitely want to visit again.

Even though we had a reservation, we still had to wait for a bit. Service wise, it can be improved. I recommend going for their arnold bennett dish or other meals versus their classic afternoon tea. Definitely tasted better.

I went for breakfast with high expectations due to the excellent ratings, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The host’s behavior was disappointing—they seemed frustrated, even getting upset with the management about being left alone to manage the area near the entrance on the left side of the room. I recommend avoiding the middle table of the room. The host also struggled with basic tasks, like placing plates properly on the table, and lacked a welcoming attitude overall.

We went for the afternoon tea. The place was crazy busy and loud. The setting is nice but that’s where the pluses end. Tea was ok, food was below average ( soggy sandwiches and questionable pieces of cake) and service was non existent. Biggest let down of our London trip. Would suggest you go somewhere better

Charges 15% service charge! ....AND a £2 "cover charge" (which does NOT go to the staff). AVOID THIS PLACE

We came here for tea and it was one of the worst experiences of our trip to London! Don’t waste your money and time here! Spend a bit more and have a really enjoyable time at the Ritz or even at Harrods. The food was nothing special. We got some soggy cucumber sandwiches. The rest was not really clear what it was but we think some shredded cheese and meat. The cakes or sweets tasted as if they weren’t fresh and the scones were nothing special as well. The atmosphere is nice but way too loud to enjoy anything and our waiter wasn’t seen anymore after he took our order! Nobody cared if we we are ok or if we have everything we wanted. Had to flag down someone for more tea. Won’t be coming back!

Great atmosphere as always with relatively simple food well executed Really enjoyed the goujons being thicker than you'd normally expect We have been going since it opened and have always enjoyed

Well i don’t know where to begin really. We had a reservation for two. They made us stand at the reception. Without offering a bar seat or a waiting seat. It was a busy day. But that’s not an excuse to treat the customer in certain way. Me and my partner had high hopes for the place and I don’t think we will ever consider that place again. The restaurant has a good ambiance. I liked the interior and exterior of it. Food was below average. I honestly don’t how this restaurant is a Michelin star. Service below average. So overall a bad experience. I wouldn’t recommend this place to any of my friends or family.

This place is legendary. It feels like something out of Harry Potter. Go there. Get a newspaper. Get breakfast. Try everything including the blood pudding/sausage.

You go to this place for the context. It’s swanky and the wait staff are nice. Food is mediocre at best and consequently, obscenely overpriced.

Lovely afternoon tea more than we could eat and asked if we wanted more. Staff very attentive and friendly. Lovely treat while house and dog sitting in London.

A Classic, still good but a bit overwhelmed by trying to cram too many people in. It loses the relaxing atmosphere it used to have, and the service is pressed because of this. A pity.

We received the check before we asked for it. I guess they are allergic to smiling babies. Good food, very bad attitude.

A 30 minute wait for beyond average sandwiches that I could have made myself at home, average cakes and sweet treats (although the scones were very nice), half-asleep waiters who were not engaging at all and seemed like they wanted to be anywhere else but there, and a lacklustre, low-energy atmosphere. We were so looking forward to a pre-Christmas treat and expected a fabulous experience, but it was a big disappointment. Won't ever come back, cheers

Had Christmas tea with my friends. It was very busy, booked in advance but could only get a table for 3.15 pm. It was quite noisy. Staff were lovely and very attentive.

We were running late, stuck in traffic in a taxi and so phoned to let them know. They told us not to stress and appreciated the call. The menu was nice and varied and other people’s food looked really good. The first staff member we had didn’t seem to understand us or the menu so perhaps they were new. There was a mistake with our drinks but that was rectified quickly. We had Wiener Schnitzel Holstein and fries (very good) and roast chicken with potato rosti (very good) and a side of creamed spinach (best we’ve had for a very long time) Tables a little too close and sides a bit too expensive but would definitely go again.

It is rightly an iconic institution. There are some tables by the door, essentially seating you in the waiting area, try to avoid those. Otherwise fabulous!

Roberta is very nice I’m happy I started my morning with her 🤍✨ Delicious pancakes 🍇

They offer a charming experience with its classic ambiance and attractive service. The food is good, and the setting is nice, making it a nice spot for a meal in central London. However, while enjoyable, it’s not extraordinary or overly memorable. A solid choice for those seeking a refined yet predictable dining experience. The experience for breakfast was good, but not exceptional, and there may be better options to be honest. I may repeat the experience for lunch or dinner, but not breakfast..

It’s disheartening how swiftly this establishment has lost its charm since its takeover. The old charm has almost vanished, replaced by a model that prioritises quantity over quality. Orders are frequently incorrect or require multiple corrections. The service is sloppy, and the food has lost its edge. Toast was stale, kippers too oily. Coffee lukewarm. I understand the intention behind expanding the ‘concept’ to locations like hotels and airports, where, in the absence of genuine choice, they are likely to be profitable for their owners. However, it’s deeply saddening to witness this decline and see a once venerated restaurant go the way of The Ivy. I’ve given it several chances since its new owners took over but this will be the last time I visit after many happy years.

Wow!! Great TeaTime moment! Immersion in the purest English tradition... Wonderful

Classy Place to eat and send Postcards home

This is a restaurant that I was told about by an acquaintance who lives in the UK. I wanted to have afternoon tea when I came to England. Due to time constraints, I had breakfast. The interior of the store has a chic art deco style. The chandelier is lovely. Reservations are required for breakfast and afternoon tea. Plenty of black tea in a silver pot, Probably because the water is hard, unlike in Japan, tannins remain even if you eat slowly. You can enjoy tea without overdoing it. I had a croissant and an egg dish. It's very delicious. From next month, Japanese tourists will also be required to obtain an ETA in the UK, but in the UK It was a beautiful and safe city that I would like to visit again. Next time for afternoon tea! ! !

The atmosphere is great and the scones and tea are delicious.

Terrible customer service, very stand-offish staff. I tried booking for my birthday and ruined. 1. They don’t allow for cakes (which is fine these pretentious London restaurants often don’t) but they won’t even let you have a candle on dessert 2. The maitre d’ lady was really slow and stand-offish, she initially said she couldn’t find my booking and wanted me to bring up the email… (I really would have expected more) 3. They tried to seat us at a terrible entrance table at a corner next to the coat hangers knowing full well it’s a birthday celebration stated on the reservation. 4. We asked for a change of table. There was this super snobbish and camp Filippino waiter who literally said ‘what’s wrong with this one?’ And when my guest got annoyed he replied with ‘I can’t talk to you, you speak to the manager’. He was rude from the start, not sure who he thinks he is. I have noticed other reviews who have referred to him as an Asian man so clearly the issue lies with him. Terrible experience, we left, and found a restaurant with polite and attentive staff, proper tables and none of this pretentiousness. Sad, I had been looking forward to this.

Just had a really splendid all out birthday afternoon tea at the Wolseley (my Top Tip - eat as little as you can for 24 h beforehand to do full justice to this menu!). Some beautifully executed food, including a fantastic twist - their London Rarebit adds top quality bacon & soft yolked egg to the toasted cheesy sourdoughy magnificence of a Welsh Rarebit. Absolutely delicious. Plus one of the nicest hot chocolates I have ever had (and have done some extensive testing over my life!). Best of all was the beautiful service from our lovely waiter Ian. One of my dining out benchmarks is whether people pay attention when I ask for the really icy water I adore. Ian brought me my very own well laden silver ice bucket and tongs - superlative! A highly capable, nice and kind man, nothing too much trouble and almost everything already quietly provided before we even knew we wanted them. Also a very beautiful environment to dine in. Thanks for a wonderful birthday treat - we are already planning our return in the New Year!

Quite an over hyped place with very average food. The cocktail was ok but again have had much better in other places. The fish was chewy and had very little flavour and even the eclair was stale and crumbly not soft or fresh. One can hardly go wrong with salted caramel but that was not fresh either. Wouldn’t bother going again

The restaurant boasts an elegant ambience that seamlessly combines heritage and sophistication, with its classic decor reflecting the charm of bygone eras. The staff is exceptionally friendly, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the experience.

We went there for afternoon tea. The food was good enough, this is a general comment on afternoon tea. I never understood the appeal for cucumber sandwiches or any of those sanswiches. I much prefer the cakes and scones. We can't fault the atmosphere and service. There were 5 stars. By all means go there for an experience but food is over hyped.

We celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday in the private dining facility of The Wolseley this year and it was a perfect experience from start to finish! Davina and team were a dream to work with to ensure that the experience was perfect. The food was exquisite and the private dining room overlooking the main restaurant is spectacular! If you’re booking a fancy dinner for a special occasion, it has to be The Wolseley!

The food is delicious, the service is great, and the location is great. The best of all is that the receptionist is cheerful and has a wonderful personality, as if he is acting in a movie mathiu man .The beautiful brunette girl batresia is also cheerful and welcoming 

It's very atmosphere, good service,It is easy to enjoy food without stress.

The food was good but not exceptional. The service people were excellent but the service was awfully slow. The atmosphere was very good too. The waiter was very friendly and made nice suggestions.

Bellissimo ristorante in stile art deco', prezzi "londinesi" medio-alti, cucina a base di carne e pesce, sempre affollato, necessario prenotare.

The Wolseley offers an exceptional afternoon tea experience, blending timeless elegance with exquisite flavors. The assortment of finger sandwiches is fresh and perfectly crafted, while the fruit scones, served warm with clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam, are simply divine. The selection of cakes delights with a variety of textures and flavors, and the extensive tea menu caters to every taste, from classic English Breakfast to unique options like Chocolate Tea and Jasmine Bud. With its stunning ambiance and attentive service, The Wolseley makes afternoon tea a truly memorable occasion—highly recommended!

The staff were very knowledgeable about food allergies and made me feel very reassured. Restaurant was baby friendly with good changing facilities.

Posh place, nice food, friendly staff

I just wanted to shout out the charming professionalism of the older guy running the door at about 5pm yesterday. The place was packed with late lunchers/ afternoon tea goers and tourists and he very kindly found a table for myself and two guests from Australia who just had time for a cup of coffee somewhere 'fancy' and I thought, where better than the class of the Wolseley? He found us a lovely table for an hour which is all we needed, almost immediately and allowed us to complete our catch up sending us all home with a smile. Well played sir! I've worked in hospo for years and a lot of owners don't realise the importance of the head host for profitability and customer service, hence me doing a lot of door shifts over the years. They obviously do at The Wolseley, no doubt drilled in by Corbin and King over the years they owned it. Merry Xmas to you guys and keep up the good work. For all I know, it was the GM on the front desk, but either way he was a gangster.

Best service best food 100/100 Thankyou so much Antonio🤍

Waited 1 hour for the 3 fishcakes…. Not sure if they trying to catch it from the river Thames outside. It is ridiculous. And charging 15% for the service but the whole time we are making eye contact with the staff trying to make sure somebody sees us. No next time

The place is very nice, but the service leaves a lot to be desired, the waiter is unfriendly. The food was quite good, nothing exceptional, except for the 40-pound entrecote that was brought peeled on the plate and accompanied with frozen fries (McDonalds quality). Incredible!! The delicious eclaires! We would not repeat 😐

We had a reservation for dinner at 9:45. We arrived at 9:55 and they said they were not accepting any other people. This is unacceptable. We were fully dressed for the occasion and ready to have a nice meal. The person working around reservations was rude. Seriously, if you accept reservations for 9:45 then let us come in. Waste of time really.

Perfect from the lovely reception to the service and the food. An institution!

The scones and clotted cream I had for the first time were delicious. The other desserts were just so-so, so next time I go again, I'll order a simple menu lol. Or, I want to order something else. I ate this and then ate other scones and clotted, so I feel like it doesn't taste good.

Food was good, experience made fabulous with the service and setting.

Wolsey City is hands down one of the best breakfast spots I’ve ever visited! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff are incredibly attentive, friendly, and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is simply stunning – modern yet cozy, with a design that makes every corner Instagram-worthy. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into creating a space where people can relax and enjoy their meal. And let’s talk about the breakfast – absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re a fan of classics or looking for something unique, their menu has something for everyone. Thank you, Karolina and Michael, for making the experience so special. I can’t wait to come back!

With its insanely ornate interior (Art Deco style & some Art Nouveau remnants), the Wolseley is the closest thing to a Parisian or Viennese Grand Café in London. The building was originally opened in 1921 as an elegant showroom for Wolseley Motors, but was sold five years later to Barclays Bank, who operated it as a flagship branch until 1999. After a thorough restoration, the new owners opened this gastronomic pearl in the fall of 2003, which was a crowd-puller right next to the Ritz right from the start. The atmosphere is fantastic and I have always found the crew to be charming and quick. The good cuisine with its classics such as beef stroganoff, goulash, chicken schnitzel 'Holstein' or the typical desserts is also impressive. But the unique flair of the rooms with their magnificent lacquer and marble work stands above everything. Without a doubt worth a visit! 🏆

Prices are high, but the atmosphere is good.

Food was beautiful, Bubble n Squeak was exceptionally good

It's a very nice looking place and the staff were pretty good, but in short I felt the food was very underwhelming for the price. I know it's in an expensive area, but to be honest I felt like it was a bit of a rip off. I'm no stranger to a £200-300 bill for dinner in central, but this was totally not worth it - skip and go to one of the many great restaurants in London. We shared 1 beef tartar to start (was the only genuinely tasty thing), 2 mains, mashed potato and fries side, ~£15 glass of wine each and a beer each at the bar while we waited, it was £173. Minus tip that's about £100 for the food in the photos, it's just too high for what it is and to say I enjoyed it. My duck leg was something around the £30 mark, the skin was nice and crispy but that's all I can really say positive about it. Nothing bad, just nothing great, no sides and little flavour. Chicken schnitzel was nice and moist, but again nothing to write home about - for £20+ I expected something more.

A really nice venue let down by rather average food.

Fantastic steak/frites and I only eat red meat once or twice a year. We were a small group and everyone enjoyed themselves. It can get a bit noisy, but it's all part of the atmosphere. Our waiter was very accommodating and patient with our disorganized ordering.

A very elegant place in London, the service is elegant and so is the place.

Enjoyable as other visits. Good food, super setting and location. Attentive service was let down by the order in which drink and food was served.

Magnificent place. Perfect for tea time

Iconic London restaurant, not to be missed

We enjoyed the afternoon tea set there, and of course, we will visit again in the near future.

Always enjoy coming here, lovely breakfast very professional and friendly staff and great atmosphere. Can get busy so worth booking, but I was able to get a table as a walk in.

We have lunch today. It is a great place. Always busy (difficult to book) Old World charm. Great atmosphere, great food, great service

A classic London restaurant. We were served by an Italian employee who gave us an excellent recommendation on the choice of wines. Very good atmosphere and very good cuisine

Gorgeous ! A real step back in time, to the 19th century, with the bellboy dressed all in black and his English hat, who opens the door for us. The male major who welcomes you at the entrance to take your name and/or your reservation and who indicates your presence to the waiters who come to greet you at the entrance to place you in one of the very chic rooms. I came for breakfast and so I tasted the porridge with apricot compote, the red fruit pancakes with English tea accompanied by fresh orange juice. Just Perfect! The eggs Benedict looked great but the dishes are so plentiful that unfortunately I didn't have any more room... The staff is generally friendly (a bit bossy but probably due to pressure). Tip: make a reservation. I recommend.

The food and ambience was good but our server was least bit interested in attending to us.

French restaurant including breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and coffee. The food is okay, the beetroot and baluri salad is good, the price is high
