King's Cross

If you fancy a spot of after-work drinking in King's Cross, then the new revamp at Drink Shop & Do might do the trick. They've recently had a bit of a do-over and revamped their bar into a spritz bar. It kicks off after 5pm, with an Aperol and Campari Spritz menu on offer. And alongside that, there's a small food menu of vegan-friendly salads, frittatas, soups and stews. Worth a look, we think, if you're in the

Health-food-focused cafe Maple & Fitz landed in Fitzrovia last year at the height of the clean eating trend, bringing them a guilt-free menu full of salad bowls, cold press juices and gluten-free desserts. Now, they’re heading to King’s Cross to open their second cafe, complete with superfood cocktails for brunch.

Head chef Adria Wu, Cordon Bleu and nutrition trained, has created an

The surge of King’s Cross restaurant openings continues this November with Bar + Block, a steak restaurant set to open on York Way. It's taking over a large space that's part of the King's Cross Premier Inn (just opposite The Fellow, where Thyme used to be) and does still appear to be associated with the hotel (they also have one in Birmingham). It's having a massive

We were fans of YBF Chef of the Year Adam Rawson long before he cooked at our Elements party in Spring. So news that he'd teamed up with Rhône Wines to do a London pop-up made us sit up and pay attention.

The Rhône Touch is going to be an exhibition/wine bar/restaurant open for 10 days this summer in King's Cross. And whether you're looking to experience wine from an artistic point of view at the free

Summer is nearly here, so it seems the right time to be announcing the opening of a new ice-cream parlour. Popular Tufnell park ice-cream purveyors Ruby Violet are going to be opening their second place in King's Cross later this month.

The new parlour and cafe will be in the Midland Goods Shed, just off Granary Square. As with their first shop, the fittings and furniture have come from around the world. The centre of the cafe will feature a huge slab of wood

So this is going to bring joy and happiness to a lot of caffeine-deprived folk. Popular coffee-based business Caravan, who currently have restaurants in Exmouth Market and King's Cross, are opening their own huge roastery, north of their KX site.

Caravan Coffee Roasters will feature its own brew bar and cafe serving up all manner of baked goods like their popular 'morning bun' and chocolate espresso brownies, plus daily changing filter and espresso coffee and coffee

If you're in the King's Cross area and in need of a quiet drink, there's a new place that's just opened. It's the massive new Waitrose near Granary Square and it has a wine bar tucked away at the back.

They've been adding these bars to some new stores but this is the first time we've stumbled across one ourselves. So if you fancy a quiet bite and a glass in the area - it might be worth checking

No, it's not some kind of new fitness craze, this is the latest restaurant from D&D that's opening in King's Cross. It's absolutely huge, as anyone who crosses between St Pancras and King's Cross will tell you (it's the building that was completely covered up until recently) and promises to be D&D's biggest restaurant yet.

Yes, it used to be a

The slew of new and interesting restaurants opening up in King's Cross is set to continue with news that an authentic Japanese neighbourhood restaurant Wazen is opening there next month.

What's really important is who's in the kitchen and at Wazen that's head chef Toshimasa Tanahashi who heads to KX via 30 years spent in the kitchens of Japanese restaurants Matsuri in St James, Kyubi at the Arts Club in Mayfair and Kouzu in Belgravia.

There's a new pizza place coming to King's Cross, and this one's inside the big King's Place building, as part of the Green and Fortune Café (so it's very handy for Guardian workers). They're launching the new Project Pizza. 

They'll be serving 12" pizzas from £6.50 - £7.50 (or by the slice from £3). Pizzas will include Spicy ground beef, caramelised red onion and rocket, and Roast piquillo pepper, spinach

We love a good entrepreneurial story here at Hot Dinners and the tale behind a new Vietnamese barbecue restaurant opening around the back of King's Cross is right up there. CôBa which will open this Autumn on York Way is the brainchild of Vietnamese-Australian Damon Bui who's built up quite the reputation through his

The latest from Drake and Morgan - who also run the Folly, The Anthologist and the Fable - is coming to King's Cross, but this time they're keeping their own name. This new bar and restaurant will simply be called Drake and Morgan at King's Cross.

As for the place itself, it should have that familiar but different approach to their other venues. It'll be a bar and restaurant on two floors (with an

After a successful launch ai Smithfields, Pizza Union is spreading its wings and opening a second pizza bar - this time at King's Cross (close to the Honest Burgers there). 

They specialise in Roman-style thin & crispy 12” pizzaa which are fire-baked in 3 minutes in their traditional domed stone pizza oven, which is apparently the largest in the UK. Again, the aim is to repeat the idea of the "pizza bar" so in the
