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.

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.

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!

+ 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 :/

Came here for afternoon tea. It was fairly decent. The sandwiches were nice, scones were really fresh and tasty and the desserts were ok. I didn’t think it was particularly outstanding but it was tasty. Some of the desserts were a little too sweet. I enjoyed the hot chocolate. Service was great, our waitress was lovely and gave us gold recommendations for tea. She kindly let us takeaway our leftovers too and wrapped up an extra person for our friend who couldn’t make it.
