Elior in Greenwich

Museum cafe for the National Maritime Museum (free to enter). Some indoors and outdoor seating. Offers general cafe food at London prices. Food was good.

Nice, quiet and relaxing with stunning views toward the park. The large ship in a bottle is something that catches the eye.

Es asombroso. Un gran barco en una botella fuera de la entrada trasera del Museo Marítimo Nacional en Greenwich

Nos detuvimos en el café de arriba y pensamos que era bastante caro, especialmente porque los capuchinos parecían ser casi todos espuma. Sin embargo, nos gustó la amplia y espaciosa zona de cafetería. Gratis para ingresar al Museo, así que no te preocupes por los precios más altos de los cafés. Me encantó el barco en una botella, causando gran interés en un hermoso y soleado día de noviembre.

Tras pasar un par de horas muy interesantes visitando la exposición de Franklin en el Museo de Greenwich después de Navidad, estábamos buscando una bebida y un refrigerio. Cerca de la salida a la parte trasera del museo hay un pequeño café. El café estaba muy ocupado, ya que era durante el almuerzo y eran las vacaciones escolares. Decidimos tomar una bebida y un pastel, y una vez que lo compramos, pudimos encontrar una mesa para sentarnos. La zona de asientos es relativamente pequeña y con muchas familias con niños pequeños fue una carrera de obstáculos para navegar por los muchos carritos de niños / carritos. La mesa no estaba tan limpia, con platos sucios sobre la mesa y comida en el piso. Promedio general, pero puede ser mejor durante la semana y fuera de las vacaciones escolares.

We were heading up towards the Greenwich Observatory when we noticed the big ship in a bottle. Certainly brought a big smile to my face and had the museum café been open then we would have stopped for a while. Even if you don’t feel like stopping for a beverage, you should still go if only to see the bottle!

Stanchi dopo avere trascorso qualche ora all'interno del museo del mare ed attratti da pasta e riso in bella mostra, assieme ad amici e figli ci siamo fermati a questo self service per pranzo. Qualità del cibo sotto la media e prezzi sopra la media se pensiamo che un semplice piatto di riso, sia esso in bianco che con un "ragù" abbastanza approssimativo ha un costo di 9 euro... Gradevole il panino con salumi ma, sinceramente, anche quello con la bibita è stato conteggiato a 9 euro. Consiglio di camminare qualche centinaio di metri ed andare all'interno del mercato li vicino dove molte più succulenti ghiottonerie attendono i viaggianti.

Though not that cheap, this is well presented and produces tasty food and snacks. Staff willing and friendly.

Il locale è situato proprio all’ingresso del marittime Museum e così è un luogo comodo per una sosta pranzo , tenuto conto anche che in vicinanza non ci sono altre soluzioni . L’area esterna, di fronte alla grande bottiglia di vetro con dentro un veliero è ben attrezzata, con sedute comodo al sole e vista la splendida giornata è stato piacevole sedersi al sole ad ammirare l’antistante Greenwich Park e la collina che porta al Royal Observatory, come si vede nelle foto allegate. Il menu non è particolarmente vario ma per un brunch può andare bene, e poi il caffè è illy!!

There seems to be a bit of confusion with the 2 previous reviews as Elior is correctly listed as being at the National Maritime Museum and shown on the receipt, whereas the other reviews seem to be based on another establishment in Southwark. The café has plenty of space and the staff are efficient and polite. It has a modest range of food items, but I was after a coffee and cake: white coffee and a slice of coffee and walnut sponge (£2.60 and £3.50 respectively). The coffee was very good and of good volume. The cake was a bit disappointing as it was rather dry and did not have many walnuts. Now their web page (forbidden by rules to include the link) says that the food is freshly made so I conclude that the cake seems to have been made earlier in the day and left out to dry on the display plate. Perhaps the fruit cake might have been a better choice. Note there is a similar café with different cakes on the first floor - I think that one it is slightly cheaper.

We had afternoon tea at Elior in the Refectory at Southwark Cathedral. The tiny sandwiches arrived 20 minutes after our tea, the filling was so small we could not tell what was in them. The scone was stale and fell to bits when we tried to cut it in half, and we had two marshmallows instead of cakes (maybe they had run out), service was indifferent and the whole thing was a non-event. Luckily the sun was out and we did enjoy that in the outside area.

There are hardly any options for vegetarians. There also did not seem to be too many options for non-vegetarians as wells.

As I was at an all day tour at the Queens House Gallery this was the only place to get lunch, as I didn.t want a full meal, as served in the Brasserie Restaurant. I had the hot lunch at £8.95. It was a stone cold vegetable stew, nobody had even bothered to put it in the microwave for a minute. It was served with dried out peas and carrots and stale garlic bread. The worst lunch I have ever had. The staff couldn't care less, nobody cleared the plates away from the tables, so we had to do it ourselves. Next time I will go into Greenwich for a meal. This place was disgusting and I wouldn't go back.
