Granger & Co. Chelsea

"Granger and Co. runs three Australian restaurants in London, and the Kings Cross location is their third Location. The menu’s the same as at the other two venues, and it’s full of the kind of fresh salads, sandwiches, small plates and main dishes that you’d find at a cool cafe in Sydney - think shrimp burgers, ricotta hotcakes, and plenty of stuff with avocado. Their ‘bowls’ and sandwiches are the best lunches, while at dinner we like to put a meal together from small plates and salads. None of it is exactly cheap, but the food’s consistently good. And the wine list starts at prices that are very reasonable for the area." - Richard Ehrlich

"All-day Aussie restaurant Granger & Co is clean, slightly refined, and 100% inoffensive for those breakfasts, brunches, lunches and dinners (yes, they do it all) when you need a place that’ll have something for everyone. They’ve got a few places in London, but this Clerkenwell branch is what happens if a mood board for design-conscious EC1 was magicked into life. There are big windows, lots of wood, tastefully bland art, and the kind of clientele that look like they stepped out of a Bang & Olufsen advert. It’s also the kind of place where everything from the prawn, XO and nduja fried rice, to the (excellent) crispy chicken burger, comes topped off with a big old handful of coriander. That means everything is zingy, fresh, and tastes a lot healthier than it probably is." - Oliver Feldman
