Try these-<br /><br />For a home (yours that is) from home evening you could try <a href="http://www.nordicbar.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">Nordic Bar</a>. I found it different.<br /><br />For an excellent £18 set dinner + booze + service you can't beat <a href="http://www.galvinrestaurants.com/section.php/4/1/galvin_bistrot_de_luxe" rel="nofollow">Galvin Bistrot de Luxe</a>. Oh 6-7pm turnout only and reservations essential.<br /><br />Lastly you can't beat the Indian vegetarian restaurants like <a href="http://www.london-eating.co.uk/362.htm" rel="nofollow">Chutney's</a> or <a rel="nofollow">Diwana Bhel Poori House</a> on Drummond Street.<br /><br />All three suggestions are a shortish bus ride to and from King's Cross.

I'm coming down from Cambridge after work to have dinner with a few friends in London, and we need recommendations for a nice place with lovely food not too far from King's Cross (if that is at all possible). Nothing too expensive, we're all underpaid, of course! Any cuisine is acceptable, we're Norwegians after all. :)Sirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148390457748158642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701357792339034077.post-65562631811375837532009-06-02T18:33:25.552+01:002009-06-02T18:33:25.552+01:00Mmmm, another helpful review, thanks.
