Square Meal review of RIBA Cafe & Restaurant:

Housed in the Grade II-listed HQ of the Royal Institute of British Architects, RIBA Cafe & Restaurant boasts a lofty ceiling, full-length windows & a half-covered terrace that’s a stunner for alfresco dining. Luckily, the modern European food lives up to the good looks: peckish lunchers have a choice of sandwiches & salads from the café, but the proper meals are more exciting. Kick off with beautifully cooked Asian-marinated tuna loin with chilli & bok choy salad, followed by juicy tiger prawn & beetroot brochettes with ginger & chilli couscous & steamed vegetables. A chocolate plate featuring a mini milkshake, dark chocolate mousse & chocolate ice-cream ends things on a sweet note. Unsurprisingly, it’s popular with architects, but you’ll also see the odd celebrity thanks to the nearby BBC studios. Friendly staff add to the welcoming atmosphere.
