Location –  55 Aldwych, London, WC2B 4BB

The Delaunay follows the winning formula of the Wolseley and creates a version of the Grand European café with leather seating, dark wood, brass rails and  antique mirrors. However the food is anything but old fashioned whether it is in the café or the dining room. For those in a hurry, next door is the Counter (a café with takeaway facility).

The Delauney offers a extensive range of Breakfast options including English and Viennese, brunch starts with typical breakfast Viennoiserie and egg dishes, and moving onto lunch-time classics. There is an extensive All Day à La Carte menu that includes a wide choice of dishes from platters of crustacea, to salads, and café classics such as choucroute à l’Alsacienne, moules frites and steaks, as well as a special selection of Wieners and Schnitzels. For those with a sweet tooth, there is  large array of cakes, slices, desserts and ice cream coupes.

The Delaunay’s Viennese Afternoon Tea offers assorted savouries, poppy seed Gugelhupfs with apricot jam and whipped cream, a selection of classic Viennese cakes and choice of teas (or coffees) every day, as well as ice cream coupes, milkshakes and floats. All the pastries are made on the premises, with an ever-changing selection of cakes and slices, which might include a Lemon and Pistachio Millefeuille, a Sachertorte or a Coffee and Stroh Rum Cake.

The Delaunay Viennese Afternoon Tea is £23.75 per person. Those wanting a lighter alternative can choose the Austrian Cream Tea at £10.75 per person or if you are celebrating The Delaunay Champagne Tea at £33.50 per person.

The Counter at The Delaunay has its own separate entrance on Aldwych and serves take-out or eat-in food throughout the day. It still retains the grand cafés of Europe theme with  Viennoiserie, hot bacon sandwiches & homemade granola or bircher muesli for breakfast. Chicken soup with noodles, frankfurters, salads, salt beef pretzels, sandwiches available throughout the day. There are also cakes, savouries, scones and blend coffees, hot chocolates and teas.

The popularity of The Delaunay is that they do cover all the bases offering wonderful surroundings and high quality food and service. For all the nods to the past,  the establishment caters for the modern customer with plenty of options of meals and snacks throughout the day.
