The National Gallery (London) used to have a great Italian restaurant called Carluccio's or something similar; unfortunately, they replaced it last year with a really lame restaurant serving godawful British food.
I like the Metropolitan for the variety of restaurants.

The Poytya Restaurant in Sarka Farming Museum , Loimaa Finland had outstanding food.For a country few people visit and even fewer know about then I suppose this will not be of much use to posters here.
However the food is wonderful Finnish home cooking and worth a visit just to eat. The museum is interesting too!

THe restaurant at the Tate is supposed to be good, though I've not made it there yet.
WE found the cafe in the vatican museum surprisingly good, and reasonable, and the one in the Uffizi was great, though a bit pricey.
Also surprisingly, the cafes in the museums in Prague and Budapest were pretty good too.

Musee d'Orsay was very nice, and we had a wonderful lunch with a view at the Tate Modern in London, but I think it's hard to top the quality of dining at the Modern at NYC's MOMA, whether comparing to other museums or just plain restaurants.

Another vote for the Orsay dining room.
The cafe in the Met in the American wing is pleasant. I'm not a fan of the new cafeteria (the big one downstairs); the ceilings are low and it feels claustrophobic.

dorkforcemom, we entered d'Orsay in the morning and went up to the restaurant where we made a reservation for 12:30 or so that day. That was no problem. I'm not sure if they take reservations further in advance. I do know that late lunchtime a lot of people were being turned away.

I usually try to avoid them, but I recently got hungry while at MOMA in NY and stopped for a bite at their cafe. The food was really tasty, nicely presented and wasn't that much more than I'd spend in a diner in New York.
