Delaunay - London

So I had a lovely breakfast here until it came to the end (read on)! I came for breakfast for my birthday and we ordered eggs Benedict and French toast. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the Hollandaise sauce was tasty (albeit a tad on the sharp side). The French toast was soft and well cooked although 1 and 1/2 slices of bread is a bit on the stingy side for £12. The food was great and the atmosphere and decor is both old school and elegant. The staff were lovely and friendly and service was great. When the bill came the waitress brought me two whisky truffles with a happy birthday message, which was a lovely gesture. Then they charged me £3 for the privilege!!!! My girlfriend must have said it was my birthday on the reservation but why offer someone a small, but kind, gesture then charge them for it when they didn’t ask for it. Shocking and so cheap I’d have second thoughts about going back. Can’t see them doing that at The Wolseley

The atmosphere was warm and elegant. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Decent wine selection. The duck is certainly recommended and the schnitzel was also quite tasty.

Cosy, upmarket restaurant (though, no cloakroom? w safety precautions in place, ie. contact tracing collected and extra spaces between tables. Spot great for pre theatre dining, meeting friends, or romantic date night. Great offerings including set menus and veg options. Looking forward to visiting again for the afternoon tea. *TIP: Want dessert but can't decide? Get the Coupe Lucian such a treat!

Lovely meal and service but be careful when you order wine. I ordered a bottle ig Merlot which I thought was £23.50 but that turned out to be the price of a carafe (in small print at the top of the page) and the cost was £35

The Delaunay is a great place for breakfast while visiting London. I've eaten breakfast here on 3 4 visits. Great vibe with dark, rich colors in the restaurant. Enjoy your food and people watch. Grab a newspaper and read up. You can convince yourself that your in 3 different centures 1800s, 1900s, or 2000s if you put your mind to it. Good food. And have you tried this 3 layered hot chocolate?!
