Say the words King's Cross and restaurant in the same sentence and watch the faces fall. Oh sure, in three years time it'll be King’s Cross International, with a direct link to Paris and beyond.

There is hope in sight, though, and it comes in the form of a relatively new café called Konstam. 'European kitchen table' is how chef and owner Oliver Rowe describes his simple yet delicious brunch menu - British comfort food cooked with the quality and flavourful flair of the Continent, at unbelievably reasonable prices, and in a relaxed yet stylish setting. (Check out the corkboard installation art!) Favourites include: Red Pepper Tortilla, Smoked Haddock Chowder, and the best Eggs Benny in town (yes, better than the Ivy). Not to mention the organic juices, mouthwatering desserts and a daily choice of fresh salads. |
