Old Queen Street Café is a British brasserie at 6 Old Queen Street, between Westminster Abbey and St James’s Park. The setting combines the ease of a traditional London cafe with historic details, original artwork and a warm atmosphere suited to conversation throughout the day.
The all day menu applies a contemporary touch to recognisable British cooking. Snacks and charcuterie can begin a meal, followed by dishes such as rabbit terrine, chicken schnitzel, steak and curried lamb pot pie, with seasonal vegetables and careful sauces providing balance.
Fish and plant based choices are treated with equal substance, from roast cod with mussels and cider cream to butternut squash with lentils and greens. Breakfast and weekend brunch broaden the offer, making the cafe useful from morning coffee through lunch and dinner.
Cocktails, beer and a thoughtful wine selection support both casual visits and private occasions. Restored upstairs rooms accommodate meetings and celebrations, while the main dining room remains a comfortable choice for Westminster locals, visitors and business meals.
Address: 6 Old Queen Street, Westminster, London SW1H 9HP, England
