Word of warning though, you might have to queue or book. But we turned up at 2ish which was an hour before they close their lunch service and happily waited no more than 5 minutes for a table. The open plan seating area has a mix of benches as well as tables and the kitchen is on the same level so you can see the chefs in action. All very pleasant and easy on the eye. There is also a second work surface stationed by a lady who prepares the cold meats and other deli style platter offerings.

The bread with oil was excellent and served adequately as an hunger stifler until the fantastic Wild Mushroom on toast with manchego cheese and black truffle arrived, which was so good that I had it twice.

Dessert had to be sampled as we saw other guests tucking into very desirable Catalan brulee and it did not disappoint.
They also serve afternoon tea from 3pm - 5pm though I'd say opt for a late lunch instead and enjoy this little gem.
Service was good and pricing ok. If you gave me the choice between this restaurant or one of the downstairs' cafes, then I'd definitely say treat yourself to a top floor lunch that matches the splendidness of one London's finest museums.
