What Kirk Ullrich doesn't like about The Museum Cafe:
Food was great after spending a long day in the museum. I love history so the museum was impressive to check out. It was perfect to finish off a meal like this. The restaurant has a nice view which is always a bonus. Staff were friendly and attentive. View all feedback. What Giorgio Storni likes about The Museum Cafe:
Our pumpkin soup was tasty and such a big serve, could not eat it all. The orange and poppyseed cake was also pretty moorish. Cannot complain about the view either, over the lake and beyond. View all feedback.
