THE WOLSELEY

The Wolseley is the type of place that feels fancy without trying too hard – think European café but with a bit of a posh twist. The Art Deco style hits you as soon as you walk in, and the staff? Well, they might just treat you like royalty. The smoked salmon with scrambled eggs comes highly recommended, though don’t expect any Michelin stars.

While the ambience is a winner, the food doesn’t always shine as brightly. Some dishes are a bit ‘meh,’ and service can swing from fabulous to ‘where’s my waiter?’ faster than you can say ‘please refill my water’. If you’re looking for a place to impress someone without blowing your budget, the Wolseley might be your spot, just go in with moderate expectations for the food.
