King's Cross, German Restaurant Guide

This “beautiful venue”, built in 1865 for the German Gymnastics Society, is let down by a restaurant from D&D London which “fails to deliver” on multiple fronts – it’s “overpriced”, “the food is meh”, and “service is terrible from top to bottom”. The “prime location” near King’s Cross and St Pancras means it’s busy, and on the plus side there can be a “lively atmosphere”, “the German breakfast menu is good”, and the selection of food is “mostly authentic” (wurst, schnitzel, spätzle und so weiter), if “heavy-handed” in execution. For the majority of reporters, though, it just doesn’t cut the mustard – “if you like poor imitations of German pub food in a noisy barn, this is the place for you”.
