The Court Restaurant offers top quality cuisine from around the world with friendly, attentive service in a unique venue that overlooks the British Museum’s historic Reading Room

 

The British Museum has several places to eat but the best by far has to be the Court Restaurant nestling beneath Norman Foster's colossal glass roof in the Great Court. Located on the upper terrace, it looks directly into the famous Reading Room making this one seriously impressive restaurant location. Decorated in a palate of greys, creams and stone it blends well with the clean, modern surroundings of one of the world's greatest museums. The majority of diners at the Court Restaurant are museum visitors mixed with a loyal following of local office workers. The Court Restaurant offers morning coffee, lunches, traditional afternoon teas and, on Thursdays and Fridays, evening meals. Main dishes at the Court Restaurant are a reliable mix of easy-to-please international classics and include Wiener Schnitzel with potato, cucumber & cabbage salad & fillet of beef with parsnip puree, root vegetable pave & herb sauce. A range of wines and spirits and experienced, informal service make the Court Restaurant a quintessentially London landmark restaurant.

Court restaurant is well worth the visit on a day out to The British Museum. Lovely atmosphere and superb food. We found the staff to be helpul & attentive and the restaurant offered very good value for money, particularly bearing in mind it is located in one of London's main tourist attractions.
