Decimo at The Standard
Hispanic Heat and Glamour in King’s Cross I first visited Decimo in 2019. There was a lot of buzz ahead of its opening, with Michelin-starred Chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias bringing a fusion of his family’s Spanish culinary heritage and upscale Mexican cuisine. The food zinged with flavour, the space was sexy, and the restaurant was full […]
Harry’s Kings Cross
Bang in the heart of King’s Cross’s glossy new quarter, just a suitcase’s roll from the station, Harry’s has flung open its doors this summer with all the swagger of a place that knows it’s being watched. You can’t miss it. The terrace is a riot of greenery and blooms, brimming with diners who look as if they’ve dressed for the occasion. Beneath grand green umbrellas, uniformed staff swirl between tables, women in sleek, figure-hugging emerald dresses, men in striped forest green blazers, cream waistcoats, and bow ties, offering a warm, old-school welcome that borders on theatrical. It’s the kind of entrance that makes you sit up straight and order a spritz before you’ve even seen the menu.
The Lighterman – King’s Cross – Sunday Roast
he Lighterman is a large airy place spread out over two floors. We were seated in the upper dining room with views of the canal and an opportunity for people watching, including the gleeful kids playing in the Granary Square water features.
Decimo at The Standard, London
At The Standard’s Decimo, the experience begins before you even step inside. The striking red pill elevator, perched on the hotel’s exterior, offers a dramatic, James Bond-esque ascent to the 10th floor – a nod to the restaurant’s name, which means tenth in Spanish.
Christmas Italian Style at Spagnoletti
Spagnoletti is a striking and colourful venue. Bright yellow spaghetti-like pipework intersects the walls and ceilings, and the playful decor includes a cheese-grater clock and a yellow telephone box. It looks a little like an Italian take on the American Diner, but, as I discovered, the food is so much more!
Spagnoletti – Kings Cross
Spagnoletti – London’s Best-Kept Pasta Secret Certain types of restaurants attract broadsheet coverage, while others do not. Spagnoletti, located directly opposite St Pancras and King’s Cross stations, falls into the latter category. Positioned on the ground floor of the quirky and vibrant Megaro Hotel, it mostly draws in passing tourist traffic. However, Spagnoletti exceeds expectations, […]
Rotunda, Terrace Launch – Restaurant Review
Regents Canal or the Mexican Riviera? Rotunda will make you second guess Before Coal Drops Yard became the epitome of cool in King’s Cross, Rotunda had already established itself as a go-to destination, celebrated for its farm-to-table ethos and high-quality food. Tucked away in a charming Grade II-listed building, Rotunda offers stunning views of Regents […]

Take The M Train Choosing our Restaurant of the Month always prompts a lively debate here at London Unattached Towers.
