The Delaunay
London
You can't talk about The Delaunay without mentioning its twin sister, The Wolseley, in the same breath. The two places are owned by the same people and, therefore, harbour a few similarities: the menu, the service and the decor, for example. None of these are any worse in The Delaunay; in fact, they're both spectacular in each establishment with The Delaunay owning a distinct 1930s London appeal. Service is genial and professional, and they'll even supply you with a newspaper if you turn up before the rest of your chums.
Like the Wolseley, the Delaunay is modelled on the grand cafes and dining rooms of Europe. However, instead of the French-slant of its sister, the influence here is predominantly Austro-Hungarian and is reflected in the menu; you can enjoy all of the Delaunay's elegance and grace while nibbling on one of their delicious grilled chicken with spinach and red pepper paninos, a salt beef and mustard pretzel, some rarebit, a cheeseboard or a gorgeous Black Forest chocolate gateaux. Also, if you haven't already, try the kedgeree; it's absolutely terrific. Both filling and just the right amount of spice together with the smoked fish makes the kedgeree a hearty, simple and satisfying meal.
Bring your friends or loved ones along to the Delaunay and, if you feel inclined, check out the Wolseley as well for a comparison of two of London's most beloved institutions.
