"The Midland Grand Dining Room is a brasserie inside the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel and is as regal as a National Trust home—with food to match. There are parmesan fritters complete with a coppa fascinator fit for Ascot; crab toast that has as much flavour as the room has gold; and, like any French restaurant worth its salt, soufflé du jour. Just know that the prices mean this isn’t a casual, pop-in kind of restaurant. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
