    A classy breakfast! We love the English breakfast served here. Everything is cooked to perfection and tastes perfect. The service is always good, they could definitely be a little more warm to guests but I think perhaps their usual clientele don’t care for chit chat. Nevertheless it is a no fuss, elegant place for food that we will always go to when visiting London, and we always recommend to friends.

    The Delaunay provided an extraordinary dining experience with the best chicken schnitzel I've ever tasted. The charming, elegant atmosphere, though understated, was beautifully designed and welcoming. The service was impeccable, with a professional team exuding old-school hospitality and warm smiles. The cheesecake alone was worth the visit, capping off a memorable meal. A faultless dinner. The Delaunay is truly a gem, offering exceptional cuisine, ambiance, and service.

    We were in the Delaunay Cafe which is right next to the restaurant/brasserie. The cafe is very cute, continental European style. It was quiet on a Sunday afternoon and perfect for a chat. We had flat whites and fantastic apple strudels.
