Dear Askhat.com,
I'm meeting an friend, an elegant film lawyer, for supper next week. We need to be around Kings Cross and don't want to go anywhere too fancy but neither do we want a dive. Can you recommend some suitable places to eat that are easy on the pocket, but stylish enough to impress?
Love
Askhat's Dad
Dear Dad,
You're in luck - the new King's Hall/Guardian/general regeneration of Kings cross has thrown up some interesting places and here are my top tips for a relaxed night of dinner and conversation:
Spanish Tapas
Camino - 3 Varnishers Yard, Regents Quarter, King's Cross, N1 9FD: www.camino.uk.com
Gastropub
The Norfolk Arms, 28 Leigh Street, Bloomsbury, WC1H 9EP: www.norfolkarms.co.uk
Eco Gastropub with super-locally sourced food.
Konstam, 2 Acton Street, King's Cross, WC1X 9NA: www.konstam.co.uk
If you did want to push the boat out - then the place to be would have to be the St Pancras Grand in the station itself. Home of the longest champagne bar in Europe - the food aint bad either and it would be a glamorous place to meet and eat if money is no object...
Old fashioned glamour
St Pancras Grand, St Pancras Grand
St Pancras International
Upper Concourse
London
NW1 9QP

Hope this helps,
