Ochre

Ochre offers fine dining at the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. Opened in 2022, it's already being touted as one of the hottest restaurants in town. This is a cosy and comfortable bistro decked out in neutral tones, combining classic and modern design. It's the perfect pitstop before or after a visit to the gallery. You'll see plush seating, hanging lamps, and high windows letting in plenty of light.

A choice of tempting menus are available at Ochre that you can sample throughout the day. Across the entire food offering, the menus celebrate produce sourced from all around the UK. Ingredients here are seasonal and sustainable, with the restaurant working with local suppliers to keep its carbon footprint low. There's a traditional roast on Sundays with a choice of roasts and all of the classic trimmings. On other days of the week you can try dishes like seasonal oysters, Cornish mackerel tacos, curried cauliflower, and venison sourced from Exmoor. A classic afternoon tea is also available with tea or coffee and the option to add a glass of champagne. There are also cocktails and a lengthy wine list.

If you want even more, Ochre hosts monthly musical dinners that give you a unique night out. Start with cocktails inspired by the gallery's collection before enjoying dinner, dancing, and live music, with different bands performing every month. This stylish space is brimming with sophistication and is a top destination on the food scene whether you're an art aficionado or not.
