About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals

Nestled in the heart of historic Westminster, between Westminster Abbey and St James’s Park, lies the Old Queen Street Cafe — a British Brasserie offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, cocktails, and dinner.

Led by Chef Elliot Spurdle (formerly of The Wolseley and The Delaunay), our menu highlights Britain’s finest seasonal ingredients, blending the charm of traditional London cafés with elevated comfort and style.

Surrounded by heritage, OQS reflects its historic location. With the political journal UnHerd upstairs and the Palace of Westminster just a stone's throw away, the café is infused with history, from Winston Churchill’s salvaged Old War Office floorboards to a curated display of Martin Parr’s evocative photographs of English life.

Step into Old Queen Street Café and experience exceptional food, vibrant conversation, and a setting as memorable as its historical surroundings.

    Met an ex-colleague for breakfast at this delightful place. Warm and friendly greeting on arrival, excellent service and had a very pleasant time. Opted for the salmon eggs benedict and a couple of long black coffees. Salmon was of good quality, eggs cooked perfectly and the coffee was premium quality. This is a very charming place and we will be coming back to try out the Sunday lunch menu.

    Delicious food in a charming atmosphere. Glazed salmon, chicken schnitzel, rump steak and chopped salad were all delicious. The food was fresh and healthy and very innovative preparation of vegetables like fennel and celeriac.

    We had high hopes based on reviews from others, but our experience was poor. Our server apparently didn’t put our order in properly. When the manager realized we still didn’t have drinks, he said there was a technical glitch, but that food and drinks were coming. After we eventually got drinks, he came back to say the food order hadn’t been submitted either, and it’d be another 15 minutes for food. It was longer than that. He comped part of the meal cost, but it took forever to get the bill so we could finally leave.
