Dalloway Terrace

★ 4.4 (1,743)$$$ · Expensive

Dalloway Terrace's glass-covered, greenery-draped terrace near Bloomsbury and the West End theatres makes it usable year-round, with reviewers specifically praising overhead heaters that keep a winter brunch comfortable. Its central location near the Dominion Theatre makes it a natural choice for a meal built around a show, and one reviewer used exactly that logic booking it for a short walk after a matinee. At 4.4 from over 1,700 reviews and expensive pricing, it leans toward a special daytime or evening occasion, a birthday, a pre-theatre dinner, or simply a leisurely brunch, rather than a quick everyday meal, with breakfast through dinner all on offer.

What people say

"Visited here yesterday for a birthday brunch and had a wonderful time! Firstly, it was nice and warm in the terrace with the overhead heaters. The service was great and we were made to feel special. Very pretty interior and I was free to take photos against their beautiful flower wall. The food was very tasty and even received a free birthday plate! Looking forward to visiting again soon."
