The Great Court Restaurant at the British Museum offers casual contemporary dining at the heart of one of the country's most respected institutions.

The restaurant's menu changes regularly to make the best of seasonal produce.
And with exhibition accompanying menus this makes for a great treat. In this case we have the South African exhibition with an accompanying South African themed set menu

    A disaster, having confirmed the booking I assumed that was all I needed to do, and did not have the Groupon Voucher with me. We therefore had to pay again. You need a warning on your Open Table form to say that payment has not been made and that any vouchers etc must be presented on the day

    Had this afternoon tea with prosecco bought as a Christmas gift. Thoroughly enjoyed it and even managed to take in some of the exhibitions while we were there.

    Due to the very poor reviews about recent dining experiences we decided to cancel our booking and went to an alternative restaurant

    They had no record of my booking but we did not have to wait for a table for long. Unimaginative menu, poor presentation and expensive. Used to be good in the past.

    I attended at 14.30 on Wednesday 21/02/18 with a business associate. Pro's: I had the grilled chicken Ceasar salad which was a good size and delicious. Lovely dressing. I asked for a glass of water and a caraf was delivered. My associate had a cake and a coffee which she enjoyed. Cons: My associate had a baby with her and there was no high chair offered, so she had to hold the baby herself for the entire lunch (90 min) session. It took 20 mins(!) for a waiter to visit our table for the 1st time and take a drinks order. We finished our meal and needed further drinks and sat for 45 mins (no exaggeration!) trying to get someones attention. I then stood up and went to the bar to pay as it was clear that there was no point in spending any more time there. When I asked the waiter for a VAT receipt - he had no idea what I was asking for. I had to call one his colleagues over, who then had to explain it. Sort your service out. The good salad is not enough to warrant a 2nd visit with this shockingly bad service!
