    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.

    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 :)

    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!
