Proudly housed under the spectacular curved glass roof of the British Museum, London, sits the Court Restaurant, whose dishes capture the finest aspects of both international and British cuisine.

In an academic ambience, diners can enjoy striking lofty views of the Original Reading Room. The impressive interior, designed by Norman Foster, features classical columns and a stunning glass ceiling.

Enjoy Viennese-style specials or European classics on the sumptuous Court Restaurant menu, including pan fried Scottish halibut, butternut squash tortelloni and fillet of beef with hermitage sauce. Afternoon tea and scones at The Court are accompanied by fresh clotted cream and a selection of jams, or a decadent exhibition cocktail. There is also a range of exquisite pastries by Demel, the Austrian chocolatier.

Court Restaurant London is well served by numerous Tube stations, including Russell Square and Tottenham Court Road, both of which are just a 5-minute walk away.
