Restaurant Reviews

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.

5-6 Melbourne Terrace, Melbourne Grove, London SE22 8PL

This rotisserie chicken restaurant in East Dulwich comes with a high pedigree. It's from John Ogier (ex Lyle's, The Marksman) who has teamed up with chef Jack Coghlan (ex-Planque and Lyle's). The chicken is carefully sourced and there are lots of added extras like lentils vinaigrette and chicken-fat new season potatoes to go with the main event.
