Granger & Co

Testé lors d’un retour de Londres.
C’est un endroit assez spacieux, situé vraiment en face de St Pancras International! Donc très pratique lorsque l’on est un peu pressé!
J’y suis allée pour bruncher.
J’ai tester un green smoothie qui était frais et délicieux, le muffin myrtille et ses graines de courge, excellent et la tartine à l’avocat et son œuf poché.
Tout était frais, bon, et les proportions idéales.
Le service a été très agréable.
Tout ça pour un prix correct!

Granger and Co is known for their famous ricotta hot cakes. Yes they are light and fluffy perfectly paired with honeycomb butter. The scramble egg is also nice creamy. Overall, food are good but a bit over priced

Well… I’ve mixed feelings. We went on a wet Sunday morning and had to wait outside for just 10minutes thankfully. Once seated everything was relatively quick, although we had to get the waiters attention to make our order. We had the French Aussie, one with poached eggs and one with scrambled. Yes everything was fresh and tasty but at nearly £14 I thought it was well over-​priced and nothing I couldn’t do at home.
I’d say the scrambled eggs were the winning food on this occasion — very well made and that’s the only reason I’d come here again.
I’ve not had dinner here, so can’t comment on that but I think for what it is, it’s just a little too pricey for my liking.

This is a beautiful restaurant bar that opens for breakfast, brunch and dinner with a fully stocked bar. It’s set in the ever developing Kings Cross — wow, has this place transformed in the past few years! They were busy and didn’t take bookings but we I went early and was able to secure a table for 8 for brunch on the comfy leather bench by the large windows. The staff were really lovely and the food tasted good but it gets 3 stars because we all felt that it was overpriced for what it was and we’re all not full when we left!
I had the crisp fried rice, which was a bib bim bap-​inspired dish and beautifully presented. The hoisin chilli sauce really brought the dish together, however, I really could’ve eaten double that amount! At £12.50 with no meat, it was far too pricey! My friends all seemed to have the same experience; Simple, fresh dishes but we’re all stingy portioned for the price we were paying.
Was really excited to visit this place as I love Bill Granger’s recipes and before we ate there, I was hoping there’d be a Granger and Co in Manchester soon but I can’t see it catching on. For now, Manchester has a couple of Bill’s to be getting on with!

A number of these places have opened up around the central London area. This one is next to kings cross and is probably the least comfortable, nevertheless it still serves great food with all the usual favourites including ricotta pancakes and corn fritters. The coffee of course is very good and as an added bonus they open from 10:00!

Much like their restaurant in Farringdon, I can’t praise this chain enough.
The décor is really clean cut and modern, but still manages to be welcoming and cosy and the large windows make for great people watching even on the rainiest days. I’ve yet to have brunch here but it has come highly recommended. If my dinner was anything to go by, it’s worth getting out of bed for!
The staff are friendly and on hand to answer any questions you may have about the menu not to mention always willing to help find you an alternative should you suffer from any allergies or food intolerance’s. Don’t forget to try their coffee chocolate cocktail — I can’t remember the exact name but it smells as delicious as it tastes!

Bill has a solid reputation in Australia, however this half hearted effort in Kings Cross is a disappointment on many levels. The dining area is cavernous and vast with a shoddily assembled interior. I can generally excuse this if the food is outstanding. On the food front, it really falls apart. The flavours are muted, the portions small and the wait staff seem generally disinterested and lack knowledge of the menu.
I’m not sure whether Bill has his exchange rates confused, but the prices are totally disconnected from the small portion sizes and general food quality.
Thankfully London has enough decent restaurants to allow you to avoid whatever this place has to offer.
Two stars because I’m a patriotic Aussie.

Was this place overpriced? A tad yes. But was the food good? Hell yes! I had the chicken schnitzel and not only was it tasty it was a generous portion that left me feeling very full. I was very surprised by the selection of wine on offer — they had Australian (naturally — it is an Aussie restaurant), but also Italian and French (was also happy to see Picpoul De Pinet — which seems to be harder to come by these days).
Upon arrival — it was jam packed — but I cannot express how happy I was with the service! They seated us at the bar and kept us informed about how long the wait would be for a table (which as it turned out, wasn’t too long). Everyone was so friendly despite being super packed (people were literally queuing around the corner to get in). By the time we finished our first drink — boom! A lovely table was available.
The waitress we had was really lovely and helpful — she was able to recommend different beers on offer, explain some of the things on the menu and was super nice.
My only negative about this restaurant — they don’t take reservations. But I’ll definitely be back.

Was visiting London for a few days and met a friend for dinner here. Dinner although very pricey was delicious. The appetizers were the best part and we started with the shrimp tempura and kimchi dumplings which were amazing. We then had the shrimp pasta, fish curry, and burger which were also good. A great start to my vacation in London. The house wine was good and reasonably priced as well.

We sat outside. It was filthy with chips, pieces of food and bread lying around and we had an unwiped table. Vegetarian taco main had clearly been plated hours (if not days) before and was unappealing and tasteless. Waitstaff got order delivery wrong and dishes that belonged together did not come out at the same time. An altogether unforgettably bad experience. Please avoid at all costs.

I think this is the beginning of the end for the goodness of Granger & Co as it expands its empire. It is not in as beautiful a space as the other Granger & Co sites because it is a new build.
The service was shaky because we went on one of their first days.
My problem is that the food doesn’t necessarily fill you up. We had to have the tacos, a salad and the ricotta pancakes for lunch to satisfy our tummies and then that comes with a 60 quid bill for two people with some iced teas and a coffee to wash it down.
Sad.
