What Travellingonwheels likes about The National Cafe:
Good, light area dining area just right for a drink or light meal during your trip to the National Gallery. A little pricey for the portions but this is Trafalgar Square so that’s not at all surprising. The staff were pleasant and very helpful. View all feedback. What claphamwoman doesn't like about The National Cafe:
We have after previous disappointing visits usually avoided this cafe -going instead to the Cafe in the Crypt in St Martin's in the Fields. However, we hadn't realised this was now open, so tried The National Cafe again. The cakes have not improved (the one's at The British Museum are so much better). However a decent amount of reasonably good coffee is now served. They used to serve it in really small cups. View all feedback.

Conveniently located in the east wing of the National Gallery. We stopped her for a snack. Food was standard cafeteria fare but was quite pricey.
