canteen style restaurant!! you go with your tray and ask what you want. i had chicken and rice and i was surprisingly satisfied with the amount i got!!! it was delicious and the restaurant is really nicely decorated with nice seating arrangements i recommend eating here if you spend your day at the national gallery, its worth it!

The National Gallery is a wonderful treasure to be able to go and explore. But what makes the experience better is ending or starting the visit by enjoying a treat or lunch in Muriel's kitchen. The food is scrumptious and the staff are always helpful and smiley. I want to especially mention the manager Agata, who made is such a friendly and warm experience. I was visiting with my mother (who lives in Belgium) at the end of last month. She was so friendly and charming and suggested a good dish for my mother who thoroughly enjoyed it. (I've forgotten what it was, I think it was a sweet potatoes fritata). I had the lasagna which is really nice. But the interaction with Agata was the cherry on top and made our day. Thank you very much! See you again very soon!

The National Gallery is the best place in London & the Muriels’ kitchen keep a height level standing of service with a good food, friendly service. Tasty, cozy and very nice. Thank you !

Good food, staff good hard working Slightly pricey especially the mini bottles of wine for 25£?! Matcha latte good but lukewarm

A great port of call after or before the intensity of the National Gallery. Good range of scones and cakes plus savoury food. Excellent coffee, which is essential at venues like this. Efficient systems for clearing and reseating.

The quiche I got was very good. It was warm, not hot necessarily. And I could have done without the side salad. I was not expecting it. It was also very expensive just for a quiche. One slice of warm (not hot) quiche is not worth £11 ... that is a scam. I had no other choice but to eat there due to my personal health issues and not being able to walk too far ... I do not know any resident that would choose to spend that much when it is cheaper in many other places ... so this felt very much like it is taking advantage of tourists. But, I won't be going there again.

This is for me the best Museum's cooking in the world. Good quality and fresh, great taste - and I am French - for classical menu and very friendly people serving (Vesna) . Nicely decorated and pleasant even when crowded. For me it's a must in London.
