Old Queen Street Cafe in City of London, Westminster

A bit on the expensive side, but very cozy and great food!

Nice interior and bathrooms. My poached eggs were unfortunately cold and the coffee was very sour

Ordered starter and main course. Starter: Seared Scallop The scallop smell and taste good but the texture is a little bit chewy, it was slightly overcooked to me. The condiment to go with the scallop which are apples, celeriac, bacon and balsamic vinegar does pair well with the dish. Main course: Games Pot Pie The crust was crispy, is not bad but nothing special. The taste, texture and fragrance is there still worth a try. Service: I get a feeling that they would not like to serve foreigners. The attitude treating the locals and foreigners are different. I can feel that the service team look down on us as they think that foreigners dont speak good English or so. But still there was a waiter who served me apologised to me as his English is not that good too.😐 And the hostess after the door doesnt like smiling maybe she had a bad day.

I like the place, quality of food was good, but presentation of the plates and portions, were not that good. It is over priced.

GREAT SERVICE FROM ROHIT Came here for dinner. We ordered the Smoked Salmon (starter), Rump Steak, Game Pot Pie, and Roast Cod. Food was top-notch but what made our experience memorable was the attentive service from Rohit. He was eager to please and to top it off, we were comped desserts! Thank you again Rohit!

Our breakfast was outstanding before heading to Westminster Abbey. The service was top-notch and the staff extremely friendly and courteous.

Very nice service, atmospheric atmosphere and delicious carrot cake

Great English breakfast in a homely atmosphere

Our waiter only spoke with the man at our table when letting us know there was an issue in the kitchen and our food was taking longer than expected and then acted shocked when a woman paid. I ordered the chicken pot pie and found about an inch and a half long bone. Atmosphere was great though.

Portions a little small but quality good.

Great staff and a brilliant breakfast

Paid 100$ just for a few coffees. Server seemed displeased even though we were just a quiet trio, my parents and I. Didn’t try the food since they advertise ice cream, but they actually don’t have it. Vibes inside are cool. Way too overpriced.

Great spot tucked away near Westminster abbey. Had the salted beef Benedict and it was excellent. Best breakfast we had on our trip. A lot of business or government types there so seemed like a great local hidden gem

The table service was excellent.

Amazing place! I love how it’s styled, the atmosphere is great. The food was very good. I also appreciated excellent customer service. I was in a rush, and although this a type of place where you’d normally take your time and enjoy the experience, the waitress and cook were very accommodating and prepared my brunch very quickly. I was only sorry that I couldn’t spend more time in there. Definitely hope to visit again:)

Nice cozy place with lovely service. A small mistake has been made after ordering but the way they dealt with it can be an example for other restaurants.

Absolutely delicious food, coffee was amazing. Waitress was super attentive. Everybody was super likeable. And the seats were ultra comfy!

Nice food, if a little on the pricey side for what you get

Was walking from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey arounf the lunch period and found this quaint restaurant nearby. When I walked in, all the tables were full but as a solo traveller, they found space at the bar. I ordered the chicken pot pie and a lemon drink and found the quality of the dish to be exquisite. The waitstaff were knowledgeable enough to inform me that due to the nature of the dish, there would be a 20 minute wait, which is fair, and exactly 20 minutes after ordering, out came and incredible pie with amazing side salad. Huge props to the chef, wait staff and front of house for accomodating me as a walk-in patron and high quality of food and drinks on offer!

Great food, service and atmosphere-very nice and calm place to have your breakfast!

The steak was below average (would not recommend , rest of the food was ok

Such a cozy cafe. Excellent food, something for everyone! The chopped salad is to die for!! Service is excellent here. Most definitely a lovely spot for lunch.

The food was good, the coffee was amazing, the waitress were attentive and helped me charged my phone. So nice of them. Btw, this is the first meal I had without looking at my phone due to it was charging at front desk, such a wired feeling but also realized that we really need to move away from the phone and enjoy what is at front of us - a great meal.

The first time we went here we had a traditional breakfast and the young lad waiting on us was very pleasant and accommodating. Due to this we returned during a 2nd London visit. However, the staff were different this time round and upon asking if we could swap my wife’s tomatoes for extra mushrooms (she doesn’t like tomatoes) we were told that they can remove the tomatoes, but the price stays the same and you can’t have extra mushrooms. How difficult would it have been to throw a few more mushrooms on in lieu of the tomatoes she doesn’t like? Staff unwilling to budge so were given no tip and have lost 2 customers. Never returning.

What a charming venue hidden away in Westminster. Really fresh well cooked food and stylish venue - a brasserie feel. Perfect after an event in unherd upstairs (private club). Lots of politicians go as near to the House of Commons. Delightful and reasonable prices.

This cafe is amazing. The best place just right next to the St James park for brunch. In addition to the items in their menue they have banana bread which comes with cherry jam and it is delicious. Really delicious.

Nice quiet cafe to go to before going to Churchill war rooms. Food was not bad with the chicken pot pie. Service is very good and attentive too

Quaint place near Green Park & Big Ben. Serves good coffee & muffins

Best breakfast in London! Walked over from Westminster Abbey before our tour. Delicious English breakfast with sausage, eggs, beans, and toast. Service was excellent. Charming upscale decor. Hidden dining gem.

We ate a late brunch here and it was fantastic. I had the salt beef Benedict and an espresso martini; both were divine! My wife had their take on a full English and also loved it! Would definitely recommend and try again!

Very fine toasted banana bread!

We came here for breakfast after attending church at Westminster Abbey and visiting the Churchill War Museum. It is well situated to both. We had a good breakfast, but I was surprised at the surcharge for jam, and the value is not as good as say the Regency Cafe, but it is a very different atmosphere.

Classic, high end British place for breakfast. It’s quiet and welcoming, highly recommended

Not as good as I expected. Food and service was ok. Decor was interesting although tight. Location is good.

Delightful place. I had the steak and it was delicious! Service was also impeccable.

A good martini and decent service can make up for a lot but sadly, at least for me, the meal was a let down. If you’re going to use the word truffle in a dish description, the dish should probably have some truffle flavour at the very least. Truffle aside, the dish was generally disappointing (eggs Benedict). For many reason I would have recommended this place but sadly the meal was not worth it and I sent it back. Go for a drink, maybe the setting but I won’t be going back for the food sadly.

There was not anything that I disliked about this restaurant. The food and service were both very good. They had a variety of unique menu options without having items that were overly ambitious. It is very much a "small pub" environment with a wide-open seating configuration. The size and seating arrangement made the restaurant very loud, so it was difficult to hold a conversation with the one person I was sitting with. I would recommend it for the food. If it is busy, you should just expect to spend more time eating versus engaging in meaningful dialog unless you want to yell at each other.

Nice wee cafe off the beaten track with an excellent atmosphere.

Really great food, was not expecting it so near touristy areas. I had tuna tartare and husband had chicken pot pie so yummy, the salads and sauces were exceptional. The fries were the best I have ever had.

Good food close to the Churchill War Rooms.

Popped in for tea and cake 🎂 both fantastic

We had a fabulous Breakfast. The food and coffee were excellent, and the staff friendly and efficient. We will certainly eat there again. Thank you.

It's a nice place where the food takes forever. It is unnecessarily expensive although they have delicious banana bread. They are helpful although they make little effort to make themselves understood when they see that they are tourists with a basic level of English. If you speak the language well, it's nice, if not, you'll be in trouble.

A lovely breakfast, beautifully cooked and presented eggs florentine. Filter coffee went cold quite quickly in the dinky carafes. Attentive staff though had to wait at reception a while for a booked table. Little glitches in otherwise a good service.

Excellent services and delicious food. We ordered fish and chips, salt beef hash, chicken schnitzel, apple crumble, and drinks. Every meal we had was wonderful!

Stepping into The Old Street Cafe is like finding a hidden gem in the heart of London. Very nice place with good food. Cozy and not expensive considering high quality food and a lovely environment. However, portions could be bigger. Perfect for a midday escape. Escape from touristy low quality places and try this nice place with good British cuisine.

Food was lovely but tad expensive. The wait staff were so lovely, really friendly but the hostess, sadly, was not. Tables are very close together so music a bit louder would help drown out others conversations, and thats coming from some who is usually saying the music is too loud.

This was a great place for a late breakfast after touring the Winston Churchill War Rooms.

Great fish & chips and coronation sandwich. We could eat within 1h and service was excellent. We reserved.

I arranged a large group booking (20+ people) at the Old Queen Street Cafe and couldn’t have been happier with how the evening went. This was entirely down the staff, from reception to the waiter to management. They made every accommodation to ensure each guest in our party enjoyed their experience. An incredible team! Particular praise to Monica and Joseph. The food was outstanding, as was the atmosphere of the dining room. Whether you’re dining solo, as a couple or small group or a large party, you’ll be treated with great care and attention at the Old Queen Street Cafe.

Great food. Sufficient service. Very nice but cold environment

Restaurant in a strategic location in the Westminster area, a beautiful area without shops, where the Old Queen Street Cafe is an excellent refuge even for tourists. The restaurant is intimate and well-furnished, the dishes are simple and well-executed. Prices are adequate for the area. Reservation required.

Staff were welcoming and seats were good, but service was slow and food for brunch was underwhelming and overpriced.

I enjoyed the food - lovely menu

delicious food, nice service, very recommended

Feels very 5 star and service is great

Small cozy place where you eat well, we had the typical English breakfast and it was delicious

We discovered this café restaurant by chance, and we were not disappointed by the atmosphere, the decor and the welcome.

I liked the breackfast. I was two days and was great

I’m happy with everything that’s going on in this restaurant. From the people to the food served. We had breakfast before leaving for the airport and they were tasty! Do make reservations before going, wait time without reservations can be 45 min to 1 hour long during peak.

Do not go to this place!! water came after 15 mins.. 45 minutes passed and food is not on the table yet.. How bad can a restaurant be? Leaving without paying is not an option anymore because someone should compensate for my time!

Food was delivered quickly, customer requests were implemented and the chefs obtained feedback on the food. Tastes great. Free WiFi and socket on site. Gladly again!

Terrible hot chocolate. Very expensive food for what it is. I don't recommend.

Wonderful place for our lunch with family.

Lovely spot to sit, relax and enjoy off the busy streets of London. Food was fantastic.

Delicious lunch. Friendly service. Found on the way from Buckingham Palace to Big Ben

Very good for coffee and brownies. Excellent service by the waitress and reception, in a cosy ambiance & near the Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. KR, Juan from CLUCCESS

Full english was delightful a bit pricey !

Perfect English food experience Great for tourists. Get a reservation if you want to eat here.

Chicken schnitzel was amazing and a lovely girl on the front desk

Location and setting are great. However, interactions with the staff weren’t great. For example when we asked if there was a kids menu we were just told “no” and there was no help or suggestions offered on what we should do for our kids. It felt like we were being told the kids aren’t particularly welcome. We were also reminded to leave our table on time several times, once would have been fine. And in the end we were asked to leave 5 minutes early because the next booking had arrived, even though we were still finishing off our drinks.

This is a rather posh pub with good food and a nice atmosphere, but it was disappointing that they didn’t have any draft beer at all - only bottles.

We loved our early supper at OQSC! Lovely ambiance, friendly staff and great food.

Don't go there, only for the ultra-rich

Excellent breakfast for our first morning in London. Food was delicious, staff was great, and the restaurant was lovely. Hidden gem tucked away in a small street right near the Abbey.

Absolute perfection. Simple but delicious menu where every dish appealed. Friendly and efficient service. Refined yet unassuming decor and ambience. Not necessarily cheap but prices are fair value, particularly given the location.

Many fruit flies flying around.

Really nice private room for a work lunch. Great service, welcoming dining room with fireplace. Food wise, the highlight was the lamb "croquette" as a starter.

Just popped in for a coffee and drinks for the kids. My daughter's smoothie came out hot! We sent it back and rather than make another as the waitress said they would, the hot smoothie was just poured onto a heap of ice in the same size glass resulting in far less product and a still semi warm smoothie coming back out.

I like it, but the acoustics are bad. It's always very noisy.

Great service, cute decor and tasty food.

It was simply amazing! Hidden gem ❤️ cottage pie highly recommended

A hidden gem in Westminster❣️the food is delicious and of great value. The atmosphere is authentic British & cozy. Would definitely come back!

A very warm welcome and delicious dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. THANKS !!

Delicious schnitzel! Quite slow service, we had to keep asking for them to take our order and get the bill. Great location and nice interior. Quite expensive: Schnitzel + 1 drink + 1 x chips shared between 2 = £30 each

A real gem in the heart of Westminster I have been for breakfast and lunch, food is always great and the service is great too. Looking forward to returning soon. @cabbie_london

Delicious Sunday brunch 😋. The full English breakfast was nicely presented and tasted Delicious.

We had a pleasant lunch with friends, good food and very attentive and kind staff, our compliments go to Letizia for her professionalism, availability and friendliness!

An excellent place to know about, serving very decent food in a lovely atmosphere. Charming staff.

Great restaurant, super good, well received, a little expensive when compared with France but for London, great value for money If you are in the area don't hesitate

Friendly servers, close to Big Ben, lots of people, so reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made last minute, so I thought it would be okay to not do it, but when I got there, I ended up eating food from another team that hadn't made a reservation. The salmon was very delicious, the fish and chips were delicious, and the duck steak was a little tough, but the sauce was delicious. *Price information: 85~90 for one coke and two flat whites?

Really cute and cozy, decent breakfast but I fear you’re paying more for the location than the food.

Nice place and service for morning tea. Could reduce volume of music somewhat but nice selection.

Friendly service and delicious food. Only one but with the bathroom, there was only one and you had to wait like 15 minutes to get in…

English breakfast and Eggs benedict is a must try here. Incredible food and atmosphere:)

Got the breakfast, it's good. Great atmosphere and very friendly service too - albeit it's a bit on the pricey side. They have an allergen menu and are very knowledgeable and helpful about the contents of the food, even with gluten free options

We loved our food! Location is awesome as it’s right by the Westminister Abbey area. We stopped in on our way to Buckingham Palace, and we loved our time! Leti, our waitress, was so sweet and accommodating. Great, new place!

Popped in here for drinks after walking Westminster sites. Super cozy and service is impeccable.

They were very kind with the Walk In, everything was very good and at good prices

I just love this brasserie. Friendly efficient service, relaxing lively atmosphere good food and wine. Highly recommend it.
