"The Midland Grand is a grandiose dining room that turns every diner into a one-time member of monocle-wearing aristocracy. The restaurant, attached to the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in King’s Cross, is palatial but avoids veering into naffness while serving an elegant modern French tasting menu that matches this lofty energy. Every dish—like lobster with a brilliant seafood sausage, or a delicate gazpacho consommé—reinvents something familiar and perfectly complements the room’s OTT luxury." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
