Time Out says

Museum café. If those words conjure thoughts of the humble panini, cartons of juice and flapjack that could sink a battleship, think again. The eatery that adjoins Lambeth’s Garden Museum is all handled in-house, which is just as well considering the dearth of foodie venues in the area. Here, in a deconsecrated church, the powers that be serve up modern-British and European dishes with a minimum of fuss but maximum flavour and quality. The menu changes dailt, though the hearty Barnsley chop on a bed of braised peas and mint sauce is quintessential Garden Café fare: elegant, simple, easy on the eye and tastebuds.

They don’t profess to specialise in vegan cooking, but will happily alter vegetarian dishes to accommodate you as best they can. Still enjoying a new lease of life after its 2017 revamp, it’s that kind of place: friendly, unpretentious and relaxed, exceeding expectations all the way.

Time Out tip

Even if you’re visiting for the café, the Garden Museum – one of London’s lesser-known destinations and Britain’s only museum dedicated to the art, history and design of gardens – is well worth checking out.

The pastries here are so delicious you’ll want them by the shovel-load.
