Very nice restaurant. We came for my birthday and had the Prix Fix 3 course menu 35. Very nice. And we had a bottle of wine (35). Waiter was very nice and so is the atmosphere :-)
If you’re looking for the perfect place to dine then The Delaunay should be top of your list. I’ve dined many a time here and at The Counter and it’s the impeccable service, attention to detail and food that brings us back. A busy grand dining room in the heart of theatre land (book your table). Start with one of the great cocktails in the bar before moving to your table. 5 star service (really a 10), beautifully dressed tables and exquisite dishes & generous portions that follow. (Save room for dessert). The baked Alaska was incredible. Do check the specials menu. Delaunay you are a beacon of what fine hospitality is in London and credit to all involved that make dining here very memorable, hosts, servers, chefs, baristas, mixologists. Cannot recommend it enough.
The ambience of this place was just stunning! We had some lunch and coffee at the Delaunay Counter, the food was very good and the service was just lovely. They made our first day in London and my birthday special. Even the tea, which came in a big pot, including a seperate little can of milk, was fun. Thank you :)
I remember when this place first opened back in 2011 I think, we all loved the sense of theater and as I returned after a long break nothing has changed. It’s still wonderfully sparkly, with brisk service and delicious food cooked perfectly. It’s a joy to have a table cloth and fresh bread too, a bargain for the 2 cover charge. It’s not cheap and service charge is 15% too but pure theatre and perfect for people watching!
Had a fantastic celebratory meal here with friends. The setting is majestic, grand, almost old worldly yet intimate. Like your table is a cozy island in a fast moving river. A busy night, but the service was quick and attentive with some great personal suggestions. Food was hearty and traditional, without being too heavy. The Wiener Schnitzel Holstein, Pickled Cumber, Paprika Green Beans and Soufflé are highly recommended. I wish the oysters had come off the half-shell and my dirty martini with an olive garnish.
Never disappoints. Elegant venue, nice staff and great menù. Discreet location that is versatile and useful for any type of company - work, friends, family. Recommended
A Lunch to Remember at The Delaunay Bar My wife and I recently had the pleasure of enjoying an incredible lunch at The Delaunay Bar in London, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the warm greeting by the doorman set the tone for a truly memorable experience. I indulged in their schnitzel, which was an absolute triumph—golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, with every bite better than the last. My wife was equally thrilled with her choices. She started with the prawn cocktail, which she declared the best she’s ever had—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. This was followed by eggs benedict that were simply divine, with perfectly poached eggs and a hollandaise sauce so silky it was like a work of art. What really made our visit special was the sensational service. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our every need was met with grace and professionalism. Their genuine warmth and impeccable attention to detail elevated the meal into an unforgettable dining experience. The Delaunay Bar is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of fine dining and outstanding hospitality. We can’t wait to return and relive the magic on our next visit to London!
Loveley place! Classy and nice. Everything we ate was amazing. The staff were very kind. The dessert was exceptional.
