The dining room at The Waldorf Hilton is as grand as you should expect, with towering Corinthian columns, high ceilings, sparkling chandeliers and gilded detailing. It's a look apparently inspired by the grand cafés of Europe, with a bit of Louis XVI thrown in for good measure.
The food output ranges from full English and continental breakfasts, American-style pancakes and eggs benedict to lunches and dinners taking influence from across Europe. Expect dishes including open ravioli with goat's cheese, a chestnut mushroom risotto, smoked duck breast with a beetroot, orange and balsamic reduction, and hake with wilted red chard, grilled yellow courgette and a mackerel bread sauce.
Afternoon tea proves popular, with finger sandwiches, pastries and freshly baked scones with Devonshire clotted cream and preserves. And if that's not quite classic enough? There's a monthly tea dance too, with traditional ballroom music.
