Closed for refurbishment until 2013
Tate Britain is home to one of the most original restaurants in London. Its specially commissioned mural is The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats, completed by Rex Whistler in 1927.
Head chef Colin Barnett creates contemporary British menus that suit a broad range of tastes, whether you are looking for an exceptional lunch, weekend brunch or a British afternoon tea. You can also enjoy the legendary Tate wine list.
Opening times
We are making significant changes to our historic building to improve its galleries and visitor facilities.
Please note that the Rex Whistler Restaurant closed on 5 July 2012 for refurbishment. It is due to reopen in October 2013.
While the Rex Whistler restaurant is closed for refurbishment, try the Millbank Café and Bar, serving an ever-changing range of hot and cold seasonal dishes that demonstrates the best of British produce.
