"I would book a restaurant/ticket package that combines a ticket to exhibit with a three-course lunch. ende 2013 was the restaurant with a significant renovation that lasted three months. I had not visited the old restaurant, but apparently the redesign was to make the restaurant inviting for visitors. it now has an open kitchen and a laundry switch in the center of the restaurant and is operated by benugo. although there is an à la carte menu, our package included a Colombian inspired lunch from a set menu. we chose drinks as we chose our Colombian inspired dishes. for each cure there were three possibilities. as an appetizer, I decided for the bark carpaccio, shaved fennel, capp and petersilie salat. while my friend chose the suppe. there should be avocado soup after the menu, but apparently there was no such that there was a decided less Colombian tomatensuppet. I tried something and it was delicious. for our head, my friend chose the brathake, tender broccoli, becher and petersilie butter. they were not, however, out of the seaweed, so that instead it was cajau, i.e. a slight substitution. he thought it was nice for a simple court. I chose the stolen sirloin steak, chimichurri and yucca chips. only, they had no sirloin, so it was rump. we really haven't met a good day for substitutions. I'm not sure what Yucca chips are, but they were Bog standard chips. it was nice, but a pretty standard steak and chips. dessert was where I couldn't make my understanding what to have, I was easy to tear between the roast ananas carpaccio and coconut ice cream and the churros. my friend was more decisive and decided to make the plant and apple crumbs with cream anglaise. After I had a carpaccio, I decided for the churros with chili chocolate sauce. have they ever eat, that is really hot when served, but they can not wait to dig, so that they burn at the end they are their mouth or fingering because they simply cannot wait? the churros were eating for me. they cook hot, but I just couldn't wait until I'm burrowing into the chili chocolate sauce. I was not too sure what I should expect from the chili chocolate sauce, but it tasted mostly only chocolate that was different that there was a residual heat and deep to it from the chili. delicious, although I needed some help with the churros (it was five,)! so we have divided it into twists to dip into the small pot of the chocolate. I loved the idea of combining an exhibition with eating inspired by the themes of exhibition. that is a definitive idea that should be taken up elsewhere."

I had my very first “fish and chips” there and it’s divine.

Best latte I ever had outside of my home, with vegan options too.

Nothing too fancy and not so cheap. But the food was pretty good in my opinion.

The teriyaki salmon is outstanding, with a tender texture perfectly paired with a flavorful teriyaki sauce and a touch of coriander on top. The staff are genuinely amazing, and the ambiance is very calming. That said, I thought the pomegranate juice tasted somewhat like Lipton iced tea, though that could just be my personal impression. The staff were so gracious that they even offered me some ice cream to help distinguish the flavors.

A lunch set menu would be a welcome addition, but what I enjoyed was excellent: scallops to begin, a generous steak for the main, and a decadent chocolate dessert with a subtle chili kick—a combination I always find delightful. The desserts are beautifully presented with a lively style reminiscent of James Martin, perhaps a little extravagant, but definitely memorable. All in all, it’s a fantastic opportunity to savor delicious food in a unique and lively atmosphere. Highly recommended! View menu

When I came here I had the afternoon tea. It was very tasty sure, but what you're really paying for is the atmosphere. You sit under a sprawling dome surrounded by the artefacts of ancient civilisations and the bustling people of a modern one, a dozen different languages intermingling at once. Perhaps I am doing the food service an injustice, the service was extremely personalised and the waiter spends time explaining what all the options are to you and even prepares much of it out in the open. The very good variety of teas come in beautiful porcelain and the ham hock on Ciabatta bread is to die for. It's still hugely expensive though.

The hostess was rather unfriendly, but fortunately, the waitresses were pleasant. Upon our arrival, we were informed that the only option available was afternoon tea, while other guests who came in after us were allowed to order from the menu. It seemed as though the hostess might have preferred us not to stay since we had a baby with us, though we can't say for sure. We agreed to the afternoon tea, but it was quite disappointing. The only redeeming item was the scones. The sandwiches were very dry, reminiscent of bread that's been left out for a day or two, and they weren't particularly tasty. The cakes lacked any distinct flavor aside from being overly sweet. Additionally, our four teas we...
