Pharmacy 2 in Lambeth

nice tea and cakes served in Damian Hirst designed cafe below the gallery, good value for money and tasty too

Always surprised to find this unique cafe is so quiet. It really is a hidden gem. I visited with nurse friends and they loved the medical decor. You really do have to see it to believe it. Really great selection of hot and cold drinks. Note they only take cards (no cash) which is absolutely in keeping with the modern feel and decor.

さすが！ハーストのカフェ！椅子も壁も薬モチーフで内装も徹底していました。子供がすごく喜んで写真撮りまくり！インスタ映え間 違いなしです笑 カフェメニューは普通に美味しく、値段もリーズナブルでした。 スタッフの女の子も感じよかったです。 ただ、行くまでの道のり最寄駅のランベースノースからは他の観光施設が何も無い感じでした。雨の日に行ったのもあり、周辺の散策ができなかったのが残念です。

I loved the decor which is based around works by Damien Hirst. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the prices were not too high.

I visited this cafe in London in a combination with the art gallery . By its own is a piece of contemporary art. Behind this project is of course Damien Hirst . All reminds you a pharmacy :) syringes, pills , tablets etc . The prices are very reasonable . I suggest it just for the experience !!!

Contrary to the other reviews there appears to be no actual food served here!? The menu had a bunch of sandwiches on it. When I asked if there was anything else they advised that there were only sandwiches and that they were pre packaged (honest at least!). I was starving and so ordered one. It was horrid. Could have got something similar from a service station on the A1. Also we ordered a white wine and it was off. The one plus, the single fella working here was very nice and charming.

Cool vegan vegetarian restaurant, they make very creative cocktails to start with a bit pricey but a good alternative to mainstream meat driven market

Berry Tart could have been the nickname of a young female subject of one of the mind-knowingly awful pictures by Martin Eder currently exhibited at this Damian Hurst ego project. However a much more satisfactory and less salacious time was had in Pharmacy 2, the restaurant and bar on the Newport Street Gallery’s mezzanine floor. A typical Hurstian gallery with boxes of drugs in cases on the rear wall, it otherwise contained plump yellow chairs and sofas with conveniently sired charging stations on banquettes. I ordered a camomile tea and a berry tart from an elegant blond lady (clothed unlike her painted counterparts in the exhibition spaces). A couple of network dudes wasted time on laptops in a corner. I hugely enjoyed my tea (yellow camomile globules in a teapot with a little piece of metal protruding provocatively from its spout) and the berry tart.

I loved this restaurant. I was alone and felt very comfortable. I initially was just enjoying a drink but ended up having lunch and it was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive and it was wonderful to see the pride they have in the gallery as a whole. I look forward to returning.

I came here for a Saturday Lunch, with a friend that I wanted to impress as she was visiting London. This place nailed it. Its situated in Damien Hirsts RIBA award winning gallery near to Vauxhall or Lambeth North Tube stations. The deocor inside is insanely cool, with a mix of some of Damien's most famous peices, I started with some snacks that were recommended by who I think was the manager, she suggested the pork crackling, they were perfectly crunchy, without feeling like you are going to break your teeth and not at all chewy. I accompanied this with a cocktail called a beautiful teaser which on this sunny day was super refreshing. The main courses were all extremely tasty and you cam tell they use premuim suppliers, which also the waiter was very enthusiastic about. A particular highlight was the chips though. For desert which are described as mini puddings we shared 1 each of a chocolate cake and some frozen scandinavian iced berries , which the waiter poured over some warm white chocolate sauce - so good!! the waiter told me this was a desert that Mark Hix used to do when he was the head chef at the Ivy. They had a bottomless bloody mary or prosecco option which seemed good value at £20, which I would definitely like to return to try. All in all, a great, clean, well executed smooth operation, that if you are looking to impress or show off a slightly hidden alternative venue, then this will work a treat.

Il personale è veramente carino e gentile,e ciò compensa la freddezza del luogo, interessante e divertente ma mai lo suggerirei per una cena. Prezzi sopra la media ma buon livello qualitativo.

Il ristorante offre piatti di ordinaria qualità. L'ambientazione mi è parsa inutilmente eccessiva, va bene la ricerca della location particolare, ma il bancone del bar con siringhe, flebo, mascherine e guanti di lattice, oltre ad una intera vetrina piena di strumenti chirurgici mal si conciliano con una pranzo rilassante!!

Visited this restaurant on Easter Sunday with friends from abroad. I did some researches and found that on time out this is the 6th best Sunday roast in London... well it is definitely not. they are two set menus with 2/3 choices for each course (you would expect that the service would be quick as the food? well wrong!) 2 course meal was £24.95 and 3 course was £27.95 Arrived at the table the host asked us we wanted water, so yes we asked for tap water which arrived in a nice bottle. We chose onion soup for starter, they didn't come with any bread whatsoever, we ask for it and 15 minutes later (and once we finished the soup) it arrived. We order also Sunday roast for each us (2 chicken and 2 beef (medium-rare), those took about 1.30h after the table was cleaned from the starter. A table next to us that arrived after us received the same meal well before us! Once we received the meal, both of the medium-rare beef were more rare-pink than how we requested but we ate anyway because angry and it would have taken way to long to have sorted out. The Sunday roast comes decomposed (you need to put your own veggie on your plate, what you receive is roast potatoes, cabbage, cheesy cauliflower and gravy (really running gravy)), no parsnips nor broccoli. To apologise for the slow arrival of the main courses the manager offered a free bottle of red wine. I could hear that the table next to us had similar issue, and they arrived well before us but received the main courses well after us. My friends had the 3 course meal that included dessert, which for me they look really poor in portion size. The service in general was quite bad and low in standards, it took about 15 minutes to have the bill and another 10 to pay and it wasn't busy at all. The original tap waters that we received were NOT tap waters but chargeable waters for the whopping price of £4 per bottle, i have asked to remove them. at the end including service we paid £36 each, it is quite a lot for 2/3 courses meal and a bottle of wine and receiving that kind of service.. I won't be going back.

The idea of the place was much better than the execution. There was no conection between the theme of the restaurant and the menu. Lunch started well with an amazing salmon mousse but the rest of the food was disappointing - 5 out of the 5 main courses that we ordered lacked seasoning on the protein. Side orders were good though.

A real busy eatery,that means,it seems,a slow service;even when ordering the a la carte meals. Unfortunately our meal & plates were cold,yet we didn't have the heart to complain to the comforting and friendly staff. There is a lot of room for improvement !

We had a perfectly acceptable and pleasant enough Sunday lunch which was reasonably priced, served amiably and competently with wine that was not greedily marked up. My doubts about conceptual art were further reinforced by the vapidity and banality of the exhibition there - but we had just been to see the Impressionists in London at Tate Britain and surely even DH or Koons would not compare themselves favourably to Monet and Pissarro. On re-reading that I suspect I am wrong...

Went here for Sunday lunch with my girlfriend and her mum, for girlfriend's birthday; the ask was Sunday lunch in an unusual setting and the boxes were ticked. First off, it is a lovely building and the decor is something a bit unusual which added additional interest. We all went for the set Sunday lunch (all with beef) and the food was great (beef cooked as desired, and tasty), and staff attentive but not overbearing. Starters and desserts were also very good. Price is also quite good value, 27 a head for the 3 courses, plus some more for wine.

I think we all agreed that this was our favourite hot chocolate of all time! Bit of a trip down memory lane for anyone that went to the original Pharmacy back in the day. Kids had the sorbets, which were very tasty.

An excellent restaurant especially for a spot of lunch, situated alongside the Newport Street Gallery, this restaurant space was created by Damien Hirst and serves great food

The decor here is so unusual (the purple & turquoise butterfly art too big to hide in my handbag sadly) and really sets the scene. The food is a great range of modern dishes with quality ingredients. And a separate vegetarian menu too. The 3...

So we booked as usual for a Sunday Roast and when we got there we were greeted by the staff who all wished me Happy Birthday! (I didn't know my wife Gayna had warned them). Helen walked us to our (usual) table, Marc and Nerea...

We were at the gallery and decided to have a bite. Both of us didn't feel particularly hungry so we ordered a salad and a seasonal dish of wild mushrooms on toast. The dishes and the portions were shockingly small with three tiny pieces of...

Just had a fantastic meal in Pharmacy 2. Food was beautiful, wine excellent and the chocolate mousse is to die for. Highly recommend

I booked this place for my friend birthday, this is the first time for us. I'm very very impress how tasty the meal was and on the top of that the staff was very friendly, the environment was very cool. My friend got a very...

Pharmacy 2 is part of an art gallery in Lambeth - the entire place was designed by Damien Hirst, a beloved English artist. No exhibit was there this day, and we were the only patrons at 4:30-5:30, but the food! was amazing, and the Beautiful...

Tasty and good quality food, nice environment, good service. We had a very plesant dinner and a couple of good cocktails. We recommend it!

The food was fantastic, great menu choice. Service was externally friendly. Would highly recommend trying the Steak Tartare.

Lunch on Thursday at Pharmacy2 was highly anticipated but turned out to be a real disappointment. I had the baked cod on peas and bacon bits. The food was over salted and had no taste whatsoever, for £22 and side vegetable of £4.50 they really...

Had a waiter who just couldn't take our order. I think this is because his English was so poor. Either he was being deliberately rude, or he didn't realise that he was sounding insulting and abrupt. Such a shame as the venue is great and...

The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for Saturday, when the gallery was open late. Between us we enjoyed 2 good meals and 2 very disappointing ones. From the snacks, the sweet corn fritters were very tasty but the pork crackling was so leathery we had to...

I always make it a point to visit Damien Hirst's Newport Street gallery. This is the first time I ate at P2. The decor and service is great. I had the Tunisian Brik a L'oeuf (fried egg & phyllo dough) with harissa, accompanied by chorizo...

Took my parents in law. Was crazy expensive, small portions and no atmosphere. Massive £200 regret. Someone had an okay curry, but it was still just under £20 and I just felt embarrassed for bringing the party here.

Overpriced and world's smallest portions!! The carrot cake was literally 2 bites Give your money somewhere else...

Booked through Open Table for an early lunch but had not realised they opened earlier for brunch, so that was a treat as time as tight. If going to see something at The Tate this is a good place to go . 'Beautiful' .... like...

Such a smart place with good food and such pleasing wallpaper, pharmacy, signage and antiseptic (in a good way) restaurant cFe

We had gone to the Newport St Gallery to see the Gavin Turk and decided to have some lunch. The food was excellent,and the service bu the young waiting staff was also top notch.We even enjoyed the clinical feel to the room,somehow it just worked.

Had a nice evening meal at the pharmacy. The venue is very different, but really nice . Service , food and drinks were all good.I would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

This was the first time I'd been in the evening, having enjoyed several good lunches here before. It wasn't very busy, the room was as ever bright and welcoming. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Very good cocktails, made to order off piste by...

This place is unusual and unique, which normally ticks two important boxes for me. With places like this, I fully understand that part of what you pay for is the atmosphere/decor and it that sense Pharmacy2 delivers: it is a stunning interior designed by Damian...

We ate in the restaurant and it was simply beautiful and the decor is great. A proper funky place. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The prices were average. I've read the negative reviews and they couldn't be further from the truth.. this is a...

It is a pleasure to eat in such bright and visually exciting surroundings. By the way, the food is also good! My soft shell crab burger with shoestring potatoes was delicious and reasonably priced. Well done Hirst and Hix.

Poor service, average food, over priced and over rated. Far nicer places to eat in London. Decor is great but that's the only positive thing about this restaraunt. Very disappointed and would definitely not recommend.

Trying to resurrect the buzz of Notting Hill in the late 90's. Sadly it simply doesn't work. The building is sterile and the food unexciting. Can't see this one surviving.

Just came here in the late morning and had coffee sitting on bar stools. The decor is worth the visit, coffees were fine and not overpriced. The windows almost look like they have stained glass and contribute to the colourful ambiance.

First the name: PHARMACY 2. The 2 is a reminder that there was once another Pharmacy restaurant. That one used to be in Notting Hill Gate, but it closed some years ago. In its place, there is now a branch of Marks and Spencers! Pharmacy...

My friend and I arrived 1/2 hour early for our table but were seated promptly and served some drinks. The staff were very friendly but the service was sketchy. As it was a catch up lunch, it would have been nice to have been allowed...

If you go to the Newport Street Gallery then take time to visit the Pharmacy, the décor is outstanding, so much so you can see why the profit margins on the food is so high. I had the waffle and bacon with Maple syrup, A...

We had a great lunch (saturday lunchtime). Food was lovely with interesting choices. The service was outstanding (i was a bit apprehensive as had read some poor reviews of service). We arrived early but they quickly amended our booking and we had some drinks at...

Great place to have lunch..fun and interesting environment Food was ok and good service Waiters and waitresses good

Came here for Sunday lunch with friends. Enjoyed it. Food was better than expected - especially the mains. Great building and gallery space too.

Love the place. The pharmacy theme all round. Food was excellent. I will visit again. We all agreed the service and food is excellent. Live the decor too.

My friend and I visited for dinner and drinks after work. We instantly loved the decor and set up. It is much smaller than we imagined which was perfect as there wasn't a lot of background noise. Service was excellent from stepping in the restaurant....

Having been to see the Gavin Turk exhibition at the Newport Street Gallery, it was a pleasant surprise to find a very good restaurant on its first floor, Pharmacy 2 whose menus overseen by Graham Hix. An excellent brunch menu - I had De Beavoir...

First star for being original and interesting place to eat. The measuring jar lights, and pill bar stools are different to most places without being tacky. We went for brunch and they ran out of Almond milk, the eggs benedict was cold, with a slightly...

Worst service ever. Waiting for more than one our to be served and after that poor food and do not even one word of excuse. All the staff seemed to be lost looking around and at the end we were just told " today we...

Curiosity is a great gift when hunting out new cool spots. I was intrigued by the Newport Street Gallery on my work commute from Waterloo to Mortlake station. It didn’t take long for me to plan my first visit to the gallery to check out...

By far my new all-time favorite restaurant in London! Yes, getting there takes a bit of effort and we weren’t sure what to expect, seeing as it’s located inside a museum, but WOW! the food was absolutely perfect. The two of us ordered a bunch...

I love this restaurant. The location, as part of the Newport Street gallery, makes it a destination in its own right, the food is excellent and the decor is quite a talking point. We have previously visited as a family for Sunday lunch, and again...

Went there for dinner on Saturday night and was very impressed. The decor is as iconic and unique as expected but the food and service really exceeded expectations. From the great chili-infused campari, to the tagliolini with black truffle and dover sole, every dish was...

Meet there for brunch with friends with high expectations as friends had advised that it was amazing place for brunch The decor is out of this world very bold, bright and contemporary The staff were bright, friendly and helpful, shout out for Ewan who was...

We went to the gallery first, which was interesting and the building amazing but for us the jewel in the crown was definately the restaurant. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. We had so much fun discussing the menu with them and it was interesting...

We went for Sunday lunch. Service, interior, food were really good. Location is a bit out of the way with not much around. Definitely worth a visit to see the art

According to the W insiders, this is one of the hippest places in the city and so we followed the hype: the decor is pretty unique and you feel being in a pharmacy, probably a little odd one: one where you get the pills your...

First reviews of this place made me really want to try it and I got round to it only a few days ago. The design was right up my street. But the food was unfortunately very average and nothing to write home about. It's also...

Ok Place little hard to find but whe you feel your going to the wrong place or walking into the wrong place keep going you on the right track :-) its not visable by any signs and its inside a building but there is a...

This is unique. You should visit the gallery and have at least a snack here. The decor is pure Hirst. Works well as decor. The food is good but not inexpensive. The service is good....our waiter charming and had a good sense of humour.

We visited Pharmacy 2 after a blog named the top 10 places for science enthusiasts to go. My Partner studies Forensic and Pharmaceutical Science so it was a non brainer! The décor was so impressive, especially the pill cabinet and bar area named Prescriptions. We...

Unless you live in the area it's not easiest place to find but worth seeking out! The space is fabulous and we were warmly greeted at the reception area. There is a good choice of sparkling and still wines by the glass at reasonable prices....

I would have scored even lower but the nice Damien Hirst decor just about saved it. Not only was the lager flat, but the octopus salad was inedible. The curry was incredibly bland, despite the waiter asking if we wanted it more spicy. All in...

I can only review the general feel which was a bit precious. I ordered the salmon and scrambled eggs at over £11. Very small portion. Two tiny slivers of toast. Had to ask for more. Nice eggs but half the amount of salmon there should...

As part of my trip to the gallery stopped off here for a pit stop. The set up is amazing lovely art work, great service at reasonable prices. The creme brûlée is recommended.

Went to Pharmacy 2 after visiting the Koons exhibition. The restaurant has Hirst artwork on show which is interesting, especially if you’re a fan. On arrival we asked if we could have a table by the cabinets, which (as we were early) they were happy...

The restaurant has a very interesting design and is simple in its setup but looks like an adventure for the design and hopefully the culinary side as well. Unfortunately from the first moment the were not able to deliver basic standards. Entrance was friendly and...

Recreation of Damian Hirst's Tate Modern pharmacy installation as gallery restaurant. All those pills and medical gadgets intrigue, but don't put you off your food, which is good since the grub is decent. I went with friends for Sunday brunch. The food is reasonably priced...

I went with my sisters for brunch during a weekend in London. At first I thought the prices weren't too bad but honestly, the portions were downright mean so that once we got the bill, I really did feel ripped off. All the way from...

Service was fine, quality of food is good but portion should be larger, not able fr hungry people! The place is beautiful decorated, can be a bit pricy which i find it quite normal considering the type of restaurant and location. Try to book first...

Went here with co-workers. Starters were great for sharing. service was timely and staff were laid back. Hix beer was very nice. Creme brulé was lovely, maybe the best I've had.

In was expecting a degree of pretentiousness about Pharmacy2 but was overwhelmingly surprised by the great ambient feel. the staff are friendly and charming and extremely helpful. The food was a delight. I am not a fish lover but enticed by the idea of a...

take a seat on a pill chair - everything will be fixed. tasty food, good wine, art to remember, what else a you need in vauxhall?

The place is original, something new and amazing, but I think that I won't have dinner there again because of the quality of the food that could be better. A drink will be enough next time. We spent not too much, but the price is...

Just entering the white space and moving up the beautifully sculptured staircase is memorable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The art was amazing and a real talking point while we waited a very short time for the food, which was equally memorable. A...

Having had Pharmacy2 recommended to us , a group of friends and I decided to leave our other halves at home and get together for Sunday brunch. What a lovely clean, bright place which adjoins the Damien Hirst gallery, so an added bonus is to...

This restaurant is a work of art in itself. It is hidden in Vauxhall. The restaurant is above the Newport Street Gallery. When I entered the restaurant, I was fascinated by the design. Every where you look, you see so many details. This place is...

Why not visit the current Jeff Koons exhibition in the Newport Street Gallery which is on now until 16/10/2016 - either before or after lunch and enjoy your day. Pharmacy 2 is Damien Hirst's restaurant in collaboration with Mark Hix and as you might expect...

As it was 2.30 pm when we arrived at the gallery, we decided to eat first. The restaurant has the most astounding decor - but whilst the food was delicious my small brunch salad meal with mushrooms, bacon and a ducks egg at nine pounds...

We came for a bite after the Jeff Koon's exhibition. We started with cuttlefish croquettes. It's just a bit bigger than a paracetamol. Not the typical Spanish tapas size croquettes. It's pricey given the size of the croquettes. Ordered the Monkfish Curry and Crab linguine...

Loved the decor, everything was very on-theme (from the walls of pill bottles to the pill-shaped bar stools) - definitely the first time that I had been to a pharmacy-themed restaurant. Great and friendly service, and a generally buzzy vibe when I went there for...

Went on a Sunday with a couple of friends for brunch / lunch. We booked a table in advance for x2 people at 12.30pm but changed it to x3 people at the last minute and did so without issue. It was pretty busy when we...

Went with three friends and we each ordered different things for two courses each. Every single plate looked beautiful. Presentation could not have been better. But the food also tasted delicious. This is a chef who knows how to cook. The service was also friendly...

After going round the gallery, we stopped off at the Pharmacy on the first floor mainly to look as the whole place is a work of art with lots of works of art within it. The snack menu drew us in deeper. My wife chose...

We came here when it had first opened so it was a bit disorganised and staff weren't overly professional however the value was pretty good, nice food and lovely décor! Would go again.

My wife and I popped in here for a late lunch after checking out the Jeff Koon's exhibition. The interior decor is cute, playful and quite impactful. It really leaves an impression. We ordered from the brunch menu (they also had a separate Vegetarian menu...

After reading the reviews on here, I think it would be a good place for brunch/lunch, but not dinner. I went with my work team on a Thursday night. The décor is really cool and I have recommended my pharmacist friends to go there for...

I decided to take my four year old son here for brunch as it's something a bit different, also thought the concept, idea and colours would appeal to him.... He liked it but was perhaps too young to understand it. As a nurse I appreciated...

Pharmacy 2 is located above a nice art gallery. The decoration is very original and unusual, full of different pieces of art. The food is okay, the menu is very basic. Portions are very small while prices are quite expensive.

Went to see the new gallery today with students who came from all over the world. The gallery is wonderful and having been to the first Pharmacy was interested to know how it would be reincarnated . I was not disappointed. We just had tea...

As a Pharmacist my family thought this restaurant was most suitable for a late lunch on my special day. Damien Hirst has a thing for pharmacy and the decorating with all modern pharmacy items made us us feel quite at home. The menu was limited,confusing...

Stopped in for brunch after visiting the Jeff Koons exhibition. We booked for 12 - when we got there it wasn't very busy but it soon picked up so I recommend booking. We had two very strong and great tasting cocktails, and two really good...

I have to say it in more than a view words! I felt like Damian Hirst and Jeff Coons who had his beautiful exhibition at the time we went to the Restaurant had both given us a very special present for our lives. So after...

This is a place worth visiting just to view the decore. Being in the industry, it was amusing to see this faux pharmacy set up. The wallpaper are pill posters, the end cabinets are full of empty drug packets, the perspex bar is full of...
