La nourriture est assez bonne, mais surtout les gâteaux. Le scone au fromage était un peu sec. Le gros avantage du café est la vue : magnifique lumière dans le hall du musée. Parfait pour terminer votre visite.

Cool area. Vegan cake was awesome.
A nice cafe inside the museum with a good selection of cakes and drinks. This is a nice spot to stop and relax when taking a break from exploring.
