Adeline is the restaurant and bar inside The Memoir Club at 12 Upper Woburn Place in Bloomsbury. Named after Adeline Virginia Woolf, it reflects the hotel’s connection to the Bloomsbury Set through a warm, welcoming room with a touch of glamour and a format that moves easily from breakfast to dinner.
The all day dining menu takes inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s travels through the Eastern Mediterranean. Small plates and more substantial dishes allow diners to build either a light lunch or a complete evening meal, with the cooking using the region’s herbs, vegetables, grains and bold savoury flavours as its foundation.
Breakfast is open to hotel guests and outside visitors, combining a hot buffet and eggs cooked to order with pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cured meats, cheeses and hot drinks. Later in the day, afternoon tea brings together savouries, sweets and freshly baked scones with homemade jams and clotted cream, with vegan and gluten free versions available.
Signature cocktails, wine, coffee and cake extend the restaurant’s appeal beyond a conventional meal. Fixed price and bespoke menus can support groups and private occasions, while the regular service suits leisurely lunches, pre-theatre drinks and relaxed dinners within walking distance of Euston and King’s Cross St Pancras.
