Dining at this lovely café inside the Barnes Foundation was a delight. I enjoyed the Chicken Salad BLT on fresh sourdough and the Butterscotch Budino for dessert - absolutely divine! The atmosphere blends art with comfort, making it a perfect spot for a post-exhibit bite. Don't miss it!

The Garden Restaurant Cafe at the Barnes Foundation is a delightful find! Located within the beautiful museum, the ambiance is casual yet trendy, with lovely garden views 🌿.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Salad BLT on fresh sourdough - it was bursting with flavor! The grilled salmon also had a perfect char. For dessert, we shared the heavenly Lemon Olive Oil loaf, which melted in our mouths.

Service was attentive but not overwhelming; our server Cory was a gem. Overall, it’s a must-visit for a unique dining experience after exploring the art. I can't wait to return! 🍽️✨
