The Wolseley Piccadilly - (Near Westminster, london)

4 /5 Taylor Fox: Its a very fancy place for sure. Looks awesome and you feel like a million bucks just being inside. The food was definitely good but wasnt mind blowing. None of us were wowed by anything we got(duck, halibut, sea bream). The fresh bread and butter was super good though. Service was ok. It was super loud and hard to understand what our server was saying. For a one and done experience ya sure its worth it. Maybe Id try afternoon tea or something. Still enjoyable.

4 /5 Francesca Y: We had afternoon tea in this elegant and timeless setting. Although it was a bit noisy, it was still easy to have a conversation. The tea set was beautiful, and I particularly enjoyed the scone. The other sandwiches and sweets, in my opinion, were just average. The server was very friendly, and the price was acceptable for a traditional English afternoon tea experience.

5 /5 Mandy: Impeccable and thoughtful service, excellent food, classic venue. Designed with care. I had come on a recommendation from my friend and walked in for a late lunch around 2:30PM. It did not disappoint. On entry they ask if you would like to select a newspaper to read (Financial times, Guardian and one other), which I loved, and served a complimentary bread basket as soon as you are seated. It was busy, but was able to be seated straight away and noise was noticeable but still a comfortable level. I ordered the goujons of haddock starter, calf liver with bacon for the main and still water. Everything was impeccable - the goujons had a beautiful golden crisp, lightly seasoned and went well with the accompanying aioli and lemon - I could eat these endlessly. The liver was smooth, slightly tender and moist with a soft pink centre. My waiter (wish I had gotten his name!) was beyond fantastic- checked in frequently to make sure everything was going well - even came to tell me when he was going on a short break and introduced me to who would be looking after me during this time. I was about to leave and my waiter had just come back so asked me to wait a moment and surprised me with a dessert on the house, which was like chefs kiss to an already fantastic experience. Thank you!

4 /5 David Fenech: This is a very classy catering establishment, complete with a doorman, 2 lovely ushers and very friendly waiting staff. The decor is inimitable, the crockery and silverware set up is typical Victorian and with some imagination you may manage to forget which year you’re in. The food was nice and the attention from every member of staff was impeccable. Thank you to one and all for this experience.

5 /5 ahm albed: The Wolseley is one of those rare restaurants that feels timeless the moment you walk through the door. Set on Piccadilly, its grand Art Deco interior immediately creates a sense of occasion—high ceilings, gleaming black-and-white floors, and a gentle hum of conversation that makes it feel both elegant and welcoming. The menu leans toward classic European café cuisine, executed with confidence rather than flash. Dishes like the eggs Benedict, steak tartare, and Wiener schnitzel are dependable standouts, while the pastries and desserts—particularly the crêpes and seasonal tarts—are indulgent without being overdone. Ingredients are high quality, portions are generous, and there’s a reassuring consistency to the food that keeps regulars coming back. Service is a highlight. The staff are polished, attentive, and unflustered, striking a balance between formality and warmth that suits the setting perfectly. Whether you’re there for a leisurely breakfast, a business lunch, or a pre-theatre dinner, you’re made to feel looked after without being rushed. The Wolseley isn’t about culinary trends or experimental flair; it’s about refinement, comfort, and tradition done exceptionally well. It’s the kind of place you return to again and again—not because it surprises you, but because it never disappoints.
