Encapsulating the architectural elegance and history of Vienna and wider Central-Europe, The Delaunay evokes the spirit of grand café dining, infusing it with a sense of timeless appeal.

Located by Covent Garden and in the heart of theatre-land, the menus celebrate European flavours, often spotlighting lesser-known continental dishes.

Open early for breakfast, through to lunch and dinner, The Delaunay is open seven days a week. Alongside the restaurant, there is also a bar and counter setting. The Counter offers refined but easy dishes for brief stops or takeaway, whilst the bar is a cossetting and imaginative place for pre-or-post dinner cocktails.

If you’re looking to make a booking, please visit the website or call 020 7499 8558.

The Delaunay shines with its "excellent food, service & ambience," perfect for theater-goers with its location and prix fixe menu. Guests cherish its "fantastic service and food," especially the wiener schnitzel. While some experiences vary, the "old school bistro" atmosphere and delightful Central European cuisine make it a favorite return spot for many.

    Very enjoyable and high quality pre theatre 3 course set meal. Bit of a shame we had to specifically ask for the menu we'd booked, and the £2pp cover charge should really be in the price. But food was extremely nice and service exemplary.

    Note to the management that the ladies in reception need to smile and remember this is hospitality. This the first impression of the restaurant- they let their whole team down.
