"Your fanciest friend moved out of your eight-person ‘creative space’ (translation: illegal digs) and settled in W9. Don’t worry, you’re still both equal in the eyes of TfL. German Gymnasium at King’s Cross is fancy enough to make your friend, the high-ceiling convert, feel at home, and it’s also secretly affordable enough for you to not to have to live off of tinned hotdogs for the rest of the month if you have anything more expensive than a glass of water here. Their set menu offers three courses and a glass of sparkling wine for £30. We’d go for the Kasekrainer, and finish the catch up in style, with an apple strudel soaked in vanilla sauce." - heidi lauth beasley
