The Blueprint Café- Butler's Warf, London

Design Museum, SE1 2YD
http://www.blueprintcafe.co.uk

Located on the first floor of the design Museum, The Blueprint Café offers a modern European menu with a picturesque postcard view of Tower Bridge, The Tower of London, The Gherkin and across the Thames to the old brick warehouses and blue balconies of Wapping. 

Head chef Mark Jarvis recently joined from Michelin-starred Texture Restaurant and  his skill and creativity were apparent in the dishes we chose on Easter Sunday. To start, a light and flavourful cheddar soufflé with pickled celeriac and spiced pear. For main, a creamy barley risotto with wild garlic and truffle, topped with strips of charred leek and spinach. 

This restaurant is a lovely choice for lunch; the floor to ceiling windows let floods of light and provide fantastic views. The interior is simple and chic, framed prints hang on the walls and shelves hold a collection of ornate jugs and vases of white flowers. The sunflower yellow canopy adds a splash of colour and the monochrome striped sofas bring a touch of elegance. In the summer, the outdoor terrace is perfect for a pre-dinner drink.
