Restaurant Reviews

2 Bagley Walk, London N1C 4PQ

Coal Office has eye-popping interiors by Tom Dixon and food by Palomar chef and restaurateur Assaf Granit. If you're up at the counter, it's a scene quite familiar from The Palomar - Jerusalem-inspired food served up by a lively kitchen.

38 Caledonian Road, Kings Cross, London N1 9DT

This brightly coloured restaurant serves up some of the most delicious and authentic Thai food in London at great prices. Try Phuket cashew nuts or Southern specialities like Pla Tod Naam Pla – crispy seabass with sugar, fish sauce and green apple salad.

Coal Drops Yard, Stable Street, King’s Cross, London N1C 4AB

Barrafina are considered as being some of the best Spanish restaurants in London and this Kings Cross outpost is no exception, with a particular focus on Catalan cooking. It's primarily counter dining, but they also have a stunning alfresco-only grill restaurant, Parrillan.

82 Caledonian Rd, London N1 9DN

The lower end of Caledonian Road has seen an influx of interesting restaurants in recent times and the arrival of OISO is part of that movement. Only open at lunchtime, and as popular for takeaway as it is to sit up at the counter, this family-run Korean cafe serves a winning mix of bibimbab, bulgogi, katsu curries and more.
