What PhilipW doesn't like about Café British:
for a cold buffet. Croissants were great. Charcuterie was adequate(brie was not ripe, smoked gouda was great , smoked salmon was ok(no lemons? , bacon was just plopped on a plate and was cold. Chicken and bacon wrap was tasty. Desserts were overly sweet, two tiny spoonfuls of the chocolate mousse which had some kind of caramel flavour and that was enough, not special. Coffee was pretty tasty, staff were friendly. Ave... View all feedback. What Barbara Sommerer likes about Café British:

The restaurant offers a cold buffet with tasty croissants, good smoked gouda, and a tasty chicken and bacon wrap. However, the desserts were overly sweet, and the chocolate mousse lacked something special. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff were friendly, although the average age of the patrons was around 75. The renovated site has a British pub-style bar area and a larger open restaurant side. While the calamaris were good, the burger was disappointing. Some customers enjoyed the ambiance, live music, and location, but found the food overpriced and service slow. Despite some drawbacks, a family Christmas outing at the restaurant was overall satisfactory.

Food is just okay. The menu is outdated so repeat customers eat the same thing. The servers were excellent, a huge improvement from previous visits.
