The Museum Brasserie in Edinburgh, City of

Came in for lunch and had soup and a Croque Monsieur Had to add a lot of seasoning to soup and very Dissapointed in Croque Monsieur

I am a type one diabetic and chose a balanced meal re carbohydrates and took an injection pre food. I was told the soup was unavailable 3 minutes before delivery and given a choice I did not like. Cancelled my second course and ordered a Pizza. Meanwhile my wife's second course was delivered without the soup. Meanwhile our drinks never appeared. I am sitting now getting ready to take my emergency sugar out instead of my meal and wife finished second course with no paid fir first course or drinks.

Enjoyed a nice late lunch trip here! Menu had a bunch of options (family friendly). Everything tasted nice. Place was decent. Plenty of seats but I imagine it’s just at peak times being a tourist location. Quite cool wall art! The cafe did the job! Went away happy

Over priced poor quality food. Lacked taste, cold and had very little appeal. Soup tasted like oil and had next to no seasoning.

When you are at The National Museum of Scotland and are looking for a really nice for lunch then the place that I am about to review is the place for you, and that place is The Museum Brasserie which is located adjacent to the entrance hall on the right hand side. I went to the Museum Brasserie for my lunch today and really enjoyed my New Yorker ciabatta which was delicious and which I would recommend, the only drawback was the rocket that was on my plate, but apart from that I enjoyed my lunch washed down with Irn Bru. I would recommend this place

After a full on busy touring the museum I really needed some food and a rest. To be honest I really didn't fancy any of the food, it wasn't my cup of tea but I tried THC cauliflower soup and it was gorgeous, served with a lovely bun and Scottish butter. Very tasty and filling. The brasserie itself is very calm and relaxed soni felt very comfortable sitting chilling drinking my tea. Will happily visit again.

Coffee was phenomenal. Bit of a coffee nerd and this brew was exceptional [cappuccino with an extra espresso] highly recommend. Didn’t try the food.

Really sorry to see the brasserie running like this. Very average serve-yourself range of snacks and very average service. Bring back proper food and table service

Very messy place, no one cleaning up. Food is cold. The worst museum cafeteria I have ever visited. Avoid it.

This is a very nice restaurant in the basement of the museum. We came in on a weekday for a late lunch. As it was a little later, it wasn’t too busy. We ordered at the till and found a table (there were plenty to choose from). Service was fine. We got a couple of burgers and a salad. The portion sizes were good. The food was fine. The prices are reasonable. The cakes looked amazing but, we didn’t have the time or inclination to try them. It is very convenient as the museum is so large and takes all day... it was good to be able to eat on-site.

I was really impressed with the experience at the museum's brasserie. The food was lovely and even if the place was so busy all members of staff were so friendly and professional. We will definitely go back!

I have had a delicious risotto with halloumi fries and I love it! I highly recommend this place after visiting the museum, so handy and so yummy! And not forget to mention the staff, so kind and attentive. I will definitely go back.

Went with 4 friends for lunch, it was really busy but it was well organised with tables being cleared quickly so no one was waiting too long (especially for a wet Saturday afternoon). The burgers were great, halloumi fries were spot on and the risotto was also lovely. Staff were very friendly too.

2nd time ate here and its so good fish and chips lovely, the gourmet chicken breast burger is the best. the chicken is made to perfection. ice cream fab would highly recommend.

스코트랜드 박물관 인근의 방문하기 편 한 식당입니다. 큼직한 치즈스콘이 매력적인 식당이었고 가볍게 식사하기 좋았습니다.

This is a regular cafe to visit on our many trips to Edinburgh as the location is at the foot of the Museum of Scotland building. The cakes selection is very good and we nearly always have their scones with cream and jam is amazing.

We’ve been coming here regularly for years and generally enjoy the experience and the staff are always happy and helpful. However I have to say that the soup has been getting more and more watery. Today’s leek and potato was just very poor in terms of taste and texture. Wouldn’t be worth half the £6 charged. Really must improve. Also agree with other reviewers that the forms is chaotic and times.

Si mangia bene, può contribuire a spezzare la visita, rifocillarsi e ricominciare, rammento che le visite a tutti i musei scozzesi sono gratuite!

Dopo la visita mattutina al museo vale la pena fare una sosta alla brasserie, anche solo per un caffè. Si ordina alla cassa, le bevande le danno subito, i piatti arrivano abbastanza velocemente.

My wife and I are part of a group tour in the UK. We visited the Scottish National Museum around lunchtime, so we stopped in the Museum Brasserie for lunch. It was a very nice spot for lunch - quiet, away from all the busy-ness of Edinburgh.

¡Viajar con alergia alimentaria puede ser un desafío!

Wie so oft in den Restaurants von Museen, fehlt auch hier die Erkenntnis, dass der Gast im Vordergrund stehen sollte. (Viel zu) langes Warten bis man einen Tisch zugewiesen erhält, obwohl das Restaurant halb leer ist. Die Bestellung muss man dann aber doch wieder selber an der Kasse aufgeben. Die Qualität der Speisen (bei uns Hamburger und Pasta) entspricht dem ersten Eindruck des Restaurants: nicht sonderlich schlecht, aber es fehlt der kulinarische Funken.

Wij werden geholpen door Joël en Aurelie prima bediening in het Nederlands doe zo voort.

We popped in here after a visit to the museum. Good atmosphere, good food, good service. Well worth a visit.

Visitamos el restaurante ayer. Permítanme comenzar diciendo que la comida es decente y que hay una buena selección de bebidas. Sin embargo, su sistema de asientos es caótico. Madison estaba delante de la casa.

Came in with the kids to get some ice cream as it was a hot day. The host Louise was was amazing she asked whether we where in for lunch or just drinks she took us to our table and told me that there was a strawberry sundae which was a daily special this was perfect for the kids although I was skeptical on whether it was gonna be a good size for the price but when I received them I was more than happy great value for money. I would definitely go back and get another

Este catering de Benugo nunca ha sido tan bueno como algunos de sus restaurantes en Londres, pero al menos el mostrador de pedidos y el puesto de pasteles de autoservicio son una mejora.

I don't understand how this place is trying to operate. It's flat out strange

Great place for us to take a lunch break while visiting the museum. They have a pretty decent fish and chips plate and also a bowl of fish chowder (Cullen skink). Our food tasted freshly made. We didn’t want to leave the museum to find something to eat so this was a good alternative for us. Prices might be a little higher than outside but we liked the convenience. Service was great.

I was at the museum with my daughter and decided to lunch in the brasserie. I didn't check any reviews before which was a big mistake.

We needed a break and, fortunately came across the Cafe overlooking the Main Hall. Food options were varied, but we stuck to our standard lunch of soup and bread, followed this time by a nice cake

I called into the Museum today and thought I would stop for a coffee.

Le musée étant gigantesque, cette brasserie est vraiment très pratique. La nourriture est bonne et les prix convenable.

Good food but small portion of fish & chips for £14. Mushy peas would barely have fitted on a tablespoon. Waiter was very pleasant.

Me parece decepcionante que muchos establecimientos turísticos piensen que está bien robar a su audiencia cautiva. La brasserie cae en esa categoría. El personal está bien; la comida esta bien Los precios son exorbitantes.

El servicio es amable pero desorganizado y muy lento. La zanahoria de focaccia fue sabrosa e hizo un cambio de la opción vegetariana de la calabaza. No había aderezo para la ensalada verde. Los chips eran casi pasables. El café y los dulces no son tan buenos como en la cafetería del museo. Un poco caro. Pero es muy conveniente si se reúnen con amigos de fuera de la ciudad en el Museo.

A pesar del amable personal, este lugar carecía de estilo. La comida era normal y el menú limitado. Los precios eran algo altos, aunque el café era bueno. Sin embargo, debido a la cantidad de tiempo que pasé en el museo, este fue un buen lugar para detenerme.

Hemos visitado la Brasserie un par de veces y esta vez no hubo servicio de mesa, eso en sí está bien.

Había reservado una mesa para el almuerzo ya que pensé que podría estar ocupado. Cuando llegué, estaba claro que no se había reservado ninguna mesa y tuve la impresión de que el personal no esperaba reservas de mesa. Sin embargo, rápidamente me encontraron una mesa para dos y luego vino la siguiente sorpresa. Ya no hay un servicio de mesa completo, usted hace cola para dar el número y el orden de su mesa una vez que ha mirado el menú. El menú en sí es bastante limitado y pagué 9: 50 por una tostada, era focaccia y había 3 tipos de queso pero sentí que era demasiado caro para lo que era. De ninguna manera me sentí como una Brasserie y sentí que el término era engañoso, me recordó más a un Brewer Fayre pero con menos opciones y precios más altos. Lo mejor de todo es el personal, amable, entusiasta y servicial.

We prefer the brasserie for its excellent table service and menu. The Balcony cafe is dry busy and often full so it’s lovely to find a quiet corner for lunch or a coffee in the Brasserie.

We wanted a light Sunday lunch for a small group and there was something to suit all appetites and ages from 18 to 88, from the filling mac and cheese bites to the lighter tomato soup. The scones to accompany the soup were particularly good as was the Christmas mince pie. The service was fast and the staff, when ordering and paying at the counter, were very pleasant. It wasn’t too busy but we had booked a table just in case.

You have two choices to stay here or at the 3rd floor at another cafe, this cafe has a good easy access after discovering the museum!

Food was hugely overpriced for what it was, pea soup was essentially green water with peas floating in it. Service was also absolutely terrible...

Popped in following our son’s graduation, as said before the service was slow, food very expensive and not great quality. Husband had a very watery pea soup which was lukewarm and cost £6.00. The menu had gluten free and vegan options (well done) but the lunch options were expensive at around the £12 mark, wouldn’t recommend unless popping in for tea and cake.

Ordered a soup and a toastie. Took nearly half an hour to arrive, with people ordering after me being served. Helpful waitress chased the order for me telling me my order was next. Which is restaurant-ese for the kitchen has messed up and they'll get right onto it.

We visited this one Monday in October so it was fairly quite. The food, ambiance and service was second to none. Can thoroughly recommend it.

Went in with 5 friends staff was helpful and positive and the food was delicious. Had the epic cheese toastie, tons of cheese and a big portion. 5/5 would definetly go again.

Came to visit the museum on my own and decided to stop by and have some cake and a coffee. The place is now self service but the staff are still really friendly and always willing to help. I had an Americano which was promptly made before I even paid and I selected the Almond and red berry cake, My sweet tooth was very happy!

I arrived with my family today (sunday). there were 6 of us. We didn't reserve a table but we were welcomed and shown to a nice clean table fit for us all.

This place needs a professional restaurant manager brought in asap.

Service slow, food not hot, overpriced - avoid. Family of 6 had to wait 30 mins for food and when it arrived the stew was such a small portion, beef tough and lukewarm.

My wife and I visited the Brasserie for lunch last week on our visit to the Museum.

It is a while since I ate at the Museum Brasserie - and I have previously written a positive review of this venue. However, we went for lunch today in a family group and the experience was somewhat disappointing.

Was looking for some thing to eat and as wew were visiting here, called in. Had to wait a couple of minutes till a table was ready. Pretty pricey menu, and no little small meals, so we just had coffee and scones each, and shared a bit of chocolate and orange cake. Took a little while for it to arrive, possibly as it was busy.. nothing wrong with the food though

Comida escocesa tradicional. Sabores realmente inusuales, jengibre, lima, salmón ahumado y trucha, patatas asadas y plato de Ploughman. Bebidas heladas con sabor a fruta, té y cerveza, servidos en el vestíbulo del museo. Maravilloso servicio de mesa en lo que parece una cripta. Precios razonables con un bien horneado del día, sopa del día y ensalada del día.

Kurz Kaffee zu trinken ist hier nicht möglich. Man wird von der Bedienung vergessen, kommt niemand um die Bestellung zu nehmen und dann kommt Espresso lauwarm 15 Minuten später. Und das alles im halbleerem Raum. Schade.

We had a busy day planned at the fringe and between events we popped into the Museum Brasserie for a cream tea. Sadly the service was vey slow although the cream tea was very good.

La Brasserie estaba bastante concurrido, pero nos dieron una mesa en pocos minutos y nuestra comida en 10 minutos. Mi esposa tenía las croquetas de salmón que eran sabrosos pero más patatas de salmón. Tuve la sopa del día, caliente y buena. También tuve la ensalada de caballa ahumada, que también era muy buena. En general una buena comida.

El Museo Nacional puede ser un poco abrumador, así que este espacio en la planta baja proporcionan un agradable descanso en nuestro recorrido. El servicio era amable y el menú era justo lo que estábamos buscando, un almuerzo ligero (en contraposición al restaurante muy exclusivo en el nivel 5 de julio. )

Después de una visita por la mañana al Museo Nacional, decidimos almorzar en 1. 15:00 y escogió el Museo Brasserie.

I visited the museum brasserie with my family last Thursday. The service was fast, food amazing (I recommend the Cullen skink with the scone) our server was really lovely and helpful.Good value for money too. I will be back

Mi novio y yo visitamos este lugar el pasado fin de semana. Fue un día ajetreado y, aunque al lado de la puerta hay un "esperar sentados", muchas personas vienen por si misma. Sin embargo, el personal era muy agradable y traté de ayudar a clientes.

Achtung: Das Menü für 15 Pfund beinhaltet nur zwei der drei Gänge.

One has to wait to be seated, fair do's if they don’t keep you hanging around long but they do and the place was almost empty so they can’t claim they were all too busy.

El servicio era pésimo. Tuve que pedir agua dos veces, esperamos media hora para sándwiches, que llegó con el mal llenado y las patatas fritas de camote estaban frías. No estaba demasiado lleno, pero el personal de aspecto desorganizado. Tuve el sándwich vegetariano club que era bueno. Nos dijeron que tenían acabó el hamburguesas vegetarianas (que era sólo de 12 h) así que no había muchas opciones para vegetarianos. La comida y la bebida es caro para lo que te dan.

Sucedió a encontrarnos fuera del museo, así que metimos en el frío. Vimos el Menú Almuerzo y decidimos comer. Una gran decisión! Mi esposa y yo ambos fuimos para la gomera Cullen, que es imposible de encontrar en el sur excepto en lata! Este era absolutamente la opción correcta - estuvo genial. Una porción muy grande y llegó con una enorme Mull Queso bollo, así que estábamos demasiado lleno para comer nada más. Volví al día siguiente para ver las exposiciones en el museo, pero es el almuerzo que nunca olvidará.

On our regular visits to the National Museum of Scotland we usually stop off at the Museum Brasserie for coffee/ tea and a cake as the range of the latter is always great and the baking is wonderful Today I had a cream tea and the warm scone, cream and strawberry jam could not have been better.

The Museum is wonderful , but the catering is out sourced. The staff seem to know it is bad and really don't care. The coffee is terrible and expensive - £2,95 is dear by Edinburgh standards, and it's bitter and unpleasant. The cake is all factory fare, and the prices will make your eye water. There are loads of better places to eat in the locality - for a coffee, you could do no better than Brewlab, just behind the museum, about a minute away.... and much nicer surroundings too....

Ce resto de musée est bien pratique ( car le musée est grand) et la nourriture est plutôt bonne. le service est assez lent. Venir tôt car c’est vite complet.

We searched high and low looking on a Sunday afternoon looking for a warm place with cream tea (that wasn't sold out of scones). Surprisingly the Museum Brasserie had a very tasty cream tea, at a reasonable price. It was a fun atmosphere eating in...

Staff were quite friendly. It was quiet and nice and clean. Coffee was nice, the biscuit (which came sealed in a packet), not nice and very expensive. Two coffees and two biscuits cost £10.10. The biscuit must have cost about £2.50 for 2!! Rip off.

A light lunch before exploring the museum. Quite a noisy place due to low ceilings and little sound barrier from the main undercroft with groups of people milling around. We both ordered Cullen Skink with a fresh hot cheese and herb scone, a bit more expensive than in other restaurants. Both were absolutely delicious! The Cullen Skink was loaded with fish. The service was friendly but the staff were very obviously under huge pressure. We would dine here again if necessary but would go somewhere quieter if time allowed.

We stopped off at the Brasserie today for lunch. Seated quickly but our waitress messed up the order, didn’t give...

Visitamos aquí ayer - un desastre de principio a fin. El servicio es pésimo y el personal no parece importarle. Tuvimos que cazar a alguien un pedido. Nos las bebidas mal. Pedimos desde un menú fijo. La comida estaba por debajo de la media. De...

El Brassiere está situado en la planta baja, junto a la entrada. Tiene un ambiente agradable y es atendido por un personal amable que nos dio un amable saludo y nos llevó a una mesa. El menú del almuerzo es un poco limitado, pero el hecho de que todo parece estar recién hecho o cocinados a la orden. El pescado y las patatas fritas era excelente y con mi petición de dejar el queso y la confirmación del personal que la mayonesa no tenía productos lácteos debido a la intolerancia en mi esposa de sándwich club lácteos era fabulosa para ella también. Una comida muy agradable en un sitio que recomendaría a otras personas que visiten el museo.

Paré en para el almuerzo mientras visita el museo como esperaba la comida mejor que la cafetería balcón. El servicio era muy lento, mi cullen gomera fue apenas tibia, y yo tenía que buscar a alguien a pagar la factura.

Nadie alrededor para mostrarnos una mesa. Nadie nos sirve.

Had meal here last year while visiting family in Edinburgh. Today three of us went to the Brasserie for drinks and waited to be seated. We were ignored by two waitresses and a man behind the bar on his mobile phone. He saw us but did not acknowledge us. So we went elsewbere and will not visit the Brasserie again.

Entre 5 et 10mn pour être placé,10 pour commander15mn plus tard.. toujours rien, nous demandons ce qu'il en est et rien n'était encore prêt et il fallait encore attendre...Tout ça alors que la brasserie était presque vide, et la commande n'était que de trois chocolat chaud, un thé et un jus de pomme. Combien de temps aurions-nous dû attendre si nous avions voulu manger là-bas ???Nous avons donc décidé de partir.D'autres bars sont bien plus sympas à l'extérieur du musée.

L'endroit est sympa et le personnel très serviable. Plutôt bon mais le burger était très très cuit.Service rapide et bon rapport qualité prix

Visited again in October after a previous visit during the Festival. The food is quite good and is reasonable value for money, however do not be fooled by the menu which they display on their website. IT IS OLD Adults menu does not have available all that you see on the Website and the published kids one is just not available at all and is really poor. Neither are the cost necessarily correct. I complained directly by email to the Bistro and also to the Museum but never heard back from them. At festival time I arrived in time to order lunches for the family who had little time between festival venues only to find the menu was different and I was left not being able to meet the family requests.I can well imagine though that someone would have responded quickly to me had I said I was calling to arrange to donate money - but a complaint - well why bother to dignify that with a response, not too good Museum of Scotland !!

We walked into the National Gallery but the eating-places there were very noisy. So we proceeded to the National Museum, a short walk away. The brasserie is in a lower level of the museum, with vaulted arches of stone, which absorbs sound, and thankfully no background music. This is a gently-lit, calm place. We sat on comfortable couches, and had scones and tea. The scones (fruit, or plain) were big, with sufficient servings of jam and real clotted cream, at reasonable prices. There are also soups and sandwiches. Service was a little slow, as the place was busy on a Saturday afternoon. But we would return, perhaps on a quieter weekday.

Stopped by on a hot day for an ice cream and a cold drink. Kind of a forgettable place but convenient.

I've reviewed this place a few times. I really enjoy coming here and it's a great place for me to catch up on some of my work. I also come here between tours (I'm a tour guide) and this place has never disappointed me. I'm here two or three times a week and there's always a very high standard of service from the staff.I'd say a few things that are important;Staff - always friendly, always polite and always working their socks off. There's a natural turnover of staff and sometimes they end up starting during some of the very busiest times (and please remember that a wet day in Edinburgh, in the middle of the Festival at one of Scotland's largest tourist attractions - which is free to enter - is always going to be a very very busy time). I've got to know some of the staff and they are a credit to the company. You will NOT see staff standing and chatting whilst the place is busy. I've not seen it and I've been there for a long time. They multitask like demons and they're doing this with a multinational staff, in a place where there will usually be a multinational customer mix, of different ages and English reading abilities. Ask them and they will be helpful. I always tip and it's always deserved.Facilities - Clean toilets, good seating and nice lighting. Temperature is usually good although you are in a Victorian building and once the heating wasn't working very well. Once. Standards - everything is kept clean and this is no mean feat given the numbers of tables and potential customers. Cutlery is always very shiny, tables are always clean in the morning and are cleaned as soon as staff can get to them.Food - pricing is good (yes it's maybe more expensive than a wee cafe BUT you should check out the local rivals, the prices aren't 'high' here. The standard of food is good and there's a chef who produces good food consistently. I'm a real fan of their fish and chips. And yes, it's reasonably priced.I'm not a member of staff and have no relationship to the company or staff members there. Having said that, I'm a regular. I'm not a regular because I have to be - there are many many options within a few minutes walk. I'm a regular there because the place is clean, standards are good, the staff are very welcoming and the prices are very reasonable. I wouldn't be a repeat customer if I didn't like the place.

There were four of us and all were reasonably pleased with the service and food. The seating was very comfortable, and the tables were clean. There is a wide variety of sandwiches & soups to choose from. Prices weren't too bad, about what you'd expect for a cafe located in an area with a captive audience.

Had our brunch here, for our last day in the city. We started touring the museum first before dining. We ordered breakfast and lunch food altogether. I love the hot chocolate that I've ordered because it's just the right amount of sweet. The smoked salmon and the carrot cake were superb too.

brasserie au sous-sol du musée, qui propose de bons plats (le fish and chips, les burgers) et d'autres un peu plus légers (pas grand-chose à manger dans les salades...)après les prix sont corrects, le musée est très grand donc ça permet de faire une pause...les scones sont délicieux !

Horrible rainy day so not a good start, plus the structure of the place means staff are struggling to find customers in the stonework.Simple choice of sandwich and Cullen skink. My wife is blind so the arrival of an open sandwich was challenging plus my soup was nearly cold. Next there was no cutlery even on our 4th waiter.I left the exact money on the table and we headed for a toilet break.Imagine horror to be stopped at the exit accused of not paying.There was a cockup when one waiter pocketed the cash without telling the other.Louise was very apologetic but I don't think we'll be returning!

Completely went above and beyond our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were all so friendly and very professional. Would definitely eat here again.

No esperes una carta amplia, más bien lo contrario. Pero lo que van a poner en la mesa, sea una sopa del día, o algún plato típico escocés casi seguro que merece la pena. Además te aseguras que los ingredientes son de granjas locales y parte del beneficio ira al mantenimiento del museo.Además suelen ser sitios tranquilos. Precios entre 5 y 6 libras la sopa.

Visiting The National Museum of Scotland is a day long exercise as there is so much to see and absorb. It is very handy to have this excellent brasserie on the museum's lowest level. We found the service to be reasonably quick and very friendly from the mainly Eastern European waitstaff. They offer a very good lunch deal of a bowl of cullen skink (a Scottish fish chowder featuring haddock) and half a sandwich. Very enjoyable

Having purchased a parking ticket we decided to have lunch at the museum to maximise our time there! How wrong. It was incredibly slow service and the food was only ok. The icecream sundae was just a scoop of icecream with no sauce or sprinkles and it was very expensive!

veramente carino, serviti bene, velocemente (anche se era quasi pieno) zuppa del giorno, tipica, ma buona. Ci hanno mandato un cameriere italiano per spiegarci meglio i piatti. Consigliabile specialmente quando piove.

I'm normally a fan of Benugo, who run The Museum Brasserie, but this restaurant really let the brand and the museum down. We tried to make a reservation for lunch by phoning (but the phone was never answered) and by e-mail (but the e-mail wasn't replied to).We went to the restaurant at the time of the reservation in the e-mail I'd sent (14.00 - after the lunchtime rush) and were told that there were no tables available and come back later, which we did.When we came to order the food we were told that several of the items on the (already limited) menu were not available, including the burger than I was going to have. My wife ordered the vegetable soup, and there were no visible vegetables in the soup at all - it was pretty much coloured water. My wife strongly suspected that they were running out and watered it down to make it go a bit further. They had the good grace to accept that a number of people had complained, and took the cost of the soup off the bill.The service was pretty slow, but friendly. We were left in a quandary at the end of the meal - my wife and kids went back to the museum and I was left to pay the bill, but having waited at the table for 15 minutes I wasn't sure if they would bring the bill to me, or if I was expected to head to the till to settle up. Eventually I went to the till and was told that it should have been brought to the table.All in all a pretty poor Benugo experience - I think that the management of the brasserie needs a bit of a shake-up.

Stopped for lunch during museum visit. Order of beef burger and one mushroom linguine arrived quickly and was pipping hot. Beef burger was finely ground which my wife liked and the linguine was very tasty with plenty of mushrooms.Prices were reasonable. The servers were all cheery and chatty.Will use again when in the museum.

Wir wollten nur kurz vor dem Museum noch einen Kaffe trinken, 10 Minuten warten bis jemand die bestellung aufnehmen kam, es hatte noch nicht mal viele Leute. Und nochmals 10 Minuten warten auf die Kaffes. Nicht zu empfehlen.

My daughter and I ate at the Brasserie recently. We did not have to wait long for a table. The food was excellent. I had a burger and my daughter had the child's fish and chips. The atmosphere of the Brasserie was relaxed and the staff were very good. We tucked into ice cream and cake to finish. A great lunch!

Whilst my dad looked at a new exhibit Mum and I decided to treat ourselves in the brasserie. We both ordered Cullen skink. When it finally arrived it was cold. I sent it back. The waitress (who looked to be a senior member of staff) returned telling us that the chef had checked the temperature and it must have been the bowl then she walked away. It was still cold!! I had to get another member of staff to take it away again. It finally came back hot but with a distinct lack of fish. They knocked 10% off the bill. £1.92 that didn't even cover an extortionate £3.25 for a regular Americano and hot milk. Dad arrived and as he was hungry he ordered a hot smoked salmon sandwich. A ham and cheese arrived. We told the previous waitress that he ordered salmon to be told that we had messed up and salmon was not on the menu. She took the ham and cheese away. Returned with an apology as it was on the menu after all. The hot salmon sandwich with goats cheese on toasted speciality bread turned out to be some kind of salmon paste on bread. £7.95! No goats cheese that could be discerned and definitely no hot salmon. Definitely won't be going again unless the reviews improve. I will say that the other more junior members of staff were nice.

We ordered soup and bread in the museum café for a quick spot of lunch after looking around the exhibits.My wife was happy with her tomato soup but my beef soup brought back memories of a cup of oxo, thin tasteless liquid.Sandwiches seemed over priced and ll in all not the best place for lunch.

what an awful place it took 30 minutes to get coffees and scones and it wasn't even busy, I dread to think what it would be like at a busy time would not visit again
