"When you walk into Sessions Arts Club’s dining room, you can’t help but be wowed. When you walk into The Midland Grand Dining Room, you feel like you’re cosplaying as a member of the French aristocracy. Almost nothing about this brasserie inside the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in King’s Cross is low-key. The room could house a family of well-to-do giraffes and the only kind of chameleon that could blend in here would be one with a taste for 24 carat gold. It should come as no surprise that the food here is rich, but it’s also elegantly flavoured. The parmesan fritters wear coppa fascinators and there’s a lemon meringue baked alaska to share. Of course, the crowd might be more Tatler than Vogue, but if it’s a palatial room you’re after, this one won’t be topped." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
