This bustling restaurant is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, seeking a quick yet satisfying meal before or after enjoying the cultural riches of the arts complex. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch or a casual dinner amidst the artistic buzz of the city.

Service. And getting the order correct. Taste of the food could improve as well. Management needs to remember that they are in a service industry.

Grabbed a quick bite in the form of a brown-bread tuna sandwich midway thru a concert. Was fresh and did the job. 

I feel that they can do away with the plastic packaging though, there are recycled paper alternatives.

If you need a quick dinner prior to a 7.15 show at the Barbican Arts Centre, this is where you should go.  (The restaurants upstairs tend to be booked and slow.)  It's a cafeteria, it's quick, it doesn't need reservation bookings, and the food is decent.  There are 2 or 3 counters, including one for cold food, and one hot meal counter, which offers entrees with two sides.  I had sea bass, which was actually in good shape for something from a hot table; and the broccoli in the sides was really delicious.

Popped in for a coffee and a snack and opted for the chocolate cookie. I wish I hadn't. The cookie was hard and tasted of very little. How can you make a chocolate cookie with no taste?! An extra star for that feat. The place itself is very nice and the coffee was good hence the other stars. My wife had the lemon drizzle cake which was equally as bad. Avoid the confectionary it seems!

Ok it is runned by Benugo, and you also have a Benugo cafe inside the center who shares some of the same stuff like to pastries for instance, but this place is called barbican kitchen so I figured I would let a review and make it public for everyone to see. This place is great though the food is Okay. The 4 stars come from the space : big casual self restaurant. Make your meal, pay, sit. No pressure. Makes it very easy when you come to a show. You get choices between cold and warm dishes. Lights are great, especially at night, AND you get to sit where you want AND this place opens up in summer. I can t wait to come back. You have an outside area near the water fountain, with a beautiful church sitting in front of you. It is really quiet and peaceful, right in the heart of London. The set up does I feel, compensate the quality/choice of the food though it is not bad food at all, and they serve booze if you want to hang out outisde It is really a nice set up. We had cold tuna steaks and salmon along with beans salad and feta tomatoes salad. All were good. Next time we ll head towards the warm section for grilled salmon, maybe pizza, meatballs, and maybe mac and cheese ;-). We ll see. Barbican is huge, and some kind of maze, with many many bars inside to drink from etc, but this place to grab a quick bite before sleeping at a play/show is very convenient.
