Description:
Two of London's top restaurateurs, Jeremy King and Chris Corbin, formerly of The Ivy, offer one of the finest and most serviceable restaurants in London. With its vaulted ceilings and pillars, polished marble, wrought-iron chandeliers, and Art Deco interior, The Wolseley recalls a Viennese cafe, but for much of the past century it was a bank and later an automobile showroom. Now it's the idyllic spot for afternoon tea (second only to the Palm Court of the Ritz Hotel). We often duck out of our hotel for breakfast here (served from 7am), ordering such old favorites as fried duck eggs with Ayrshire bacon or smoked fish cakes with poached eggs. There is an all-day menu offering light fare. For dinner, the menu grows more elaborate, including such dishes as Weiner Holstein with fried egg and anchovies, grilled lobster with butter, and even roast Landaise chicken with Lyonnaise potatoes. A specialty is the spit-roasted suckling pig with apple sauce.
