National Cafe

Had a gorgeous meal here last week. I really enjoyed the burger with bacon, and the service was great.

It's such a great room, it's like a secret right in the middle of London. I'll definitely be going back.

Myself and 3 friends had a wonderful time at the National Cafe. Service was really quick, staff was friendly and the manager Ian was very attentive and told us where to go in London (we are from Liverpool)

I was actually expecting typical cafe food but it was definitely restaurant quality. We went back the next day for breakfast (it was right by our hotel) and it was amazing.

Will definitley go back next time I am in London.

TRULY THE WORST MEAL I HAVE EATEN IN LONDON...

We had booked a table as we had been at a private function in the National Portrait Gallery next door. There were about 25 of us, we arrived at 9.10pm, the restaurant was empty but our only menu option was a £35 three course menu with just three choices for each course. We didn't get our starters until 10.15, the service was absolutely appalling, the ordering staff didn't speak good English and when our main courses arrived at around 11pm, 5 portions of the skate were off and had to be sent back and there were complaints about the meat course which was so tough, it was inedible, and some were also sent back...by this late stage, we had all pretty much lost the will to live... So bad was the food that the Manager decided that we should not be charged for any of the food at all... only our drinks...

It was such a disappointing end to what had been an excellent evening next door...where the canapes were delicious and the staff extremely attentive...
