If you have a bit of cash to burn then go here. The food is above average, hence the price. The best thing about The Wolseley however is the atmosphere. I've been there twice, once for breakfast, sitting among high faluting business men grabbing a bite before work, and then once for dinner.
Breakfast is an experience at The Wolseley. They have a selection of freshly baked pastries (pistachio and almond twist being my favourite £4.25). Or try the Eggs Benedict (£14), or if you're a little more adventurous then why not the Haggis with Fried Duck Eggs? (£9.25). Or perhaps you've just won the lottery and feel like having the caviar Omelette for £67.
Dinner was ok, I wasn't that happy with my tarragon roasted chicken (£18.75), but I couldn't complain (predominently because I wasn't paying). I did however love the fact the owner named a sandwich after his son (Jonah's Toasted Chocolate Sandwich £5.75).
All in all The Wolseley has managed to creat something a little special here. It's an amalgamation of classic French cuisine mixed with English wit.
It's too expensive to go often, but you should visit once for the theatre of it all.
