Lunchtime at the Victoria and Albert.
There are plenty of delightful places to have lunch in South Kensington. But one of the most appealing is in an unexpected place -- the Victoria and Albert Museum.The restaurant here was the first museum restaurant in the world, and today, it's better than ever. The food is prepared fresh daily on site by award-winning Benugo Catering with something for every taste. There's poached salmon with dill sauce, roast veggie pie, brie and chicken panini, fresh salads, deli sandwiches, and everything in between. Plus delicious baked goods, and a nice selection of beer and wine.
Best of all, you can dine in the exquisite rooms designed by Morris, Poynter, and Gamble.
Museum restaurants have come a long way in the last several years. Georges, the sixth-floor view bistro in the Centre Pompidou, is consistently on the short-list of hot Paris lunch spots. And the restaurant at the Getty Center in Los Angeles is a must-visit for the views as well as the California cuisine.
