Hidden away in the Ondaatje Wing of the National Portrait Gallery, with spectacular views of the city, Portrait is London’s best-kept secret. What better way to whet your appetite than by taking in some of the world’s old masters in the National Portrait Gallery on the way to your table.
With an emphasis on modern British seasonal food by Swedish head chef Katarina Todosijevic, dishes range from slow-roast Suffolk pork belly with apricots, lentils and sherry jus to grilled sand sole with broccoli, caper, olive and tomato salsa. Also on offer at the National Gallery's restaurant is an excellent brunch menu – the perfect way to start a Sunday stroll through the National Portrait Gallery. Come night-time, however, Portrait restaurant takes on new heights with its buzzy bar and sights of London, such as the twinkling delights of the London Eye and Nelson’s Column.
