Visitor Information

Margot Henderson and Melanie Arnold, known for their Shoreditch canteen, have brought Rochelle Canteen, cafe, bar and restaurant, to the Institute of Contemporary Arts. The launch, in autumn 2017, coincided with a bit of a shake up at the ICA under recently appointed director Stefan Kalmar. The building itself has been stripped bare to reveal original elements of Jane Drew's modernist architecture. Upstairs the dining room has two sweeping skylights, three large windows overlooking St James' and a raised podium with an indoor garden. The perfect place for warming pumpkin soup, pheasant and trotter pie or a whole pig's head to share, as well as vegetarian dishes like roast beetroot, red onion, soft boiled egg and spinach. The cafe and bar, fitted out with Alvar Aalto furniture and serving Caravan coffee as well as a mean gin and tonic, also has an all day bar menu of snacks from pork belly and kimchi buns to cheese and chutney toasted sandwiches.
