Amazing vibe of the restaurant correspondents with the food choices. We had a carrot 🥕 cake and cafe. The beer choice is Camden Town Brewery. The staff was smiling and super nice. Would come again.

Overpriced mediocre food with small portions. Had my lunch, they just took it away and was literally doing some reading and a very rude lady manager decided to come and say very loudly that I can’t “study” here the table is for customers. It appears that this is a consistent theme in the other Google reviews. I was shocked that that’s how they treat customers who actually paid. If you plan to come and have a quiet nice time and read a book with your lunch don’t bother. This is a restaurant that only cares about table turnover and profits. I can guarantee you will have a nicer time elsewhere.

The whole Barbican Estate is memorising! Don't believe me, go check it out for yourself. The kitchen had what I needed and it is always busy, but in a nice way. Take a few hours to visit and explore all of the Estate. You won't be disappointed. I’ve been, twice, the second time with my family and we still would go back again as we still want to explore it and the surrounding areas around the Estate. I will do another post with even more fabulous pictures...follow me for more. Thank You!

A really nice space where you have a lot of tables and plugs to go and get some work done and as well if you are waiting for a play or event you have a place where to have a coffee & food. The coffee was just standard, nothing out of the ordinary. It has big windows with a nice view of the Barbican Center and with a lot of plants inside. It’s good for one person or groups as the area is really big.
