The Court Restaurant

About

The British Museum has several places to eat; our favourite is 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. 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 are museum visitors mixed with local office workers. The Court Restaurant offers morning coffee, lunches, traditional afternoon teas and, on Thursdays and Fridays, evening meals. Main dishes are a reliable mix of easy-to-please international classics. A range of wines and spirits and experienced, informal service. A quintessentially London landmark restaurant.

The airy Court Restaurant is a smart, unusual venue for seated dinners of 150 guests. Sadly, exclusive hire is only available for museum-related events, but private groups of up to 60 can dine here. Even more special are the lobes; two private areas - one off the east side of restaurant, the other off the west - serving sit-down lunches every day, and dinner (only on Thursdays and Fridays) for up to 15 people or buffets for 25. Full range of menus. Families welcome; children's menu and highchairs for the kids. Disabled access to the loos. Air-conditioned. All non-smoking. Open from 11am seven days a week.
