Carnegie Museum’s Oakland campus has two dining facilities and an outdoor seating area, so guests are welcome to enjoy our cafes or bring their own lunch to enjoy in the sculpture garden or in the cafeteria. No food or drink is permitted in the exhibition halls.

Café Carnegie

First floor front, near Fountain Entry.

The Café Carnegie brings approachable cooking using responsibly-sourced ingredients to Pittsburgh’s favorite museums. The newly transformed space features a comfortable full-service dining area and a walk-up espresso and wine bar to enjoy while at the museum.
