    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.

    The Delaunay will forever hold a special place in our hearts. When things don't always go to plan, sometimes it works out that it is just meant to be and you need to trust the process. We were due to have our wedding breakfast at another venue in London, however on the day we were unable to host our guests there. Our original venue had contacted The Delaunay about hosting our intimate part of 20 and I'm so grateful that they agreed to do so. We were in the gorgeous private dining room and we couldn't have asked for a better evening to end the best day of our lives. Even walking throughout the restaurant, little tables were set with lamps that just gave off glamour. The room is so intimate, with all guests seated on one table, dimmed lighting and the dark finishes really add to the overall ambience. The team at The Delaunay managed to turn around a personalised menu that catered to all dietary requirements of our guests and mimicked what would've been the menu at our original venue. As well as setting up the flowers and cake from the original venue. Luigi, our server, was an absolute star in making sure all guests were taken care of and we cannot thank him for his kindness and hospitality enough. He is a credit to the restaurant! We loved how our day turned out and can't thank all the team at The Delaunay enough for there incredible attention to detail. We love that we have found a new restaurant that we will hold dearly in our hearts for all the years to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you from the bottom of our hearts. We can't wait to return! Ellamae + Sam x

    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.
