“The room is an attractive curve with its outlook onto the Regent’s Canal: very pleasant on a sunny day (and there is a terrace)” – so for an arts venue, the restaurant at Kings Place is a strong point. “A big promotional point is serving beef and lamb from their own farm in Northumberland”, although some feel “the cooking doesn’t always do justice to the quality of the meat” and reports on other dishes (and service) are likewise a bit up-and-down.

A “lovely canalside location” at the foot of the Kings Place concert hall (and with a large outside terrace in summer) is the strong suit of this contemporary fixture, which is very well-appointed for an arts centre venue. “Excellent meat” is the top culinary attraction, supplied by the owners’ farm in Matfen, Northumberland.

At the foot of the King’s Place arts centre – a “lovely space overlooking water” with a glorious canal-side terrace – Green & Fortune’s stylish venue offers a “good selection of small plates and excellent, if pricey, beef and lamb” from its own farm in Northumberland. “The pre-concert set menu is super value, but best of all is the Sunday roast lunch”.

Development after development is emerging around King’s Cross, so it’s easy to forget this early arrival, by Regent’s Canal, at the foot of the Kings Place art centre. Run by top figures in ‘the Murphia’ (Green & Fortune’s John Nugent alongside the building’s owner Peter Millican) its top culinary attraction is beef sourced from its own dedicated Northumberland farm. In summer, enjoy the huge outside terrace by the water.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
