After much searching I have come to the conclusion that The Wolseley on Piccadilly is my favourite establishment in the big smoke for breakfast.The food, service and décor all make for a truly wonderful experience. Extremely high ceilings and black and gold lacquered furnishings, give this place an oriental feel not too dissimilar to how I imagine life in imperial Shanghai to have been in the golden 1920s.
I personally recommend a fresh OJ, the pancakes and crispy bacon or the herb omelette…. However not quite worked my way through all the options yet and still desperate to get on the old kippers and mustard.
Make sure you book though and if you can aim for mid week – much higher chance of interesting celeb and politician spotting…. Always a bonus over some beautifully plated up pig.
Naturally my recommendation is totally professionally driven – the amount of media types in there at all hours is quite astonishing. I particularly enjoyed seeing Channel 4’s chief exec, Andy Duncan, deep in conversation with a colleague only two tables away from a pasty looking Tory boy George Osborne a couple of months ago post his oligarch scandal.
