Restaurant in King's Cross London

Das „German Gymnasium“ in London, England, ist ein außergewöhnliches Restaurant, das sich in einem historischen Gebäude im Herzen von King’s Cross befindet. Ursprünglich im Jahr 1865 als erstes speziell gebautes Fitnessstudio Großbritanniens für die German Gymnastics Society errichtet, wurde das Bauwerk später von der renommierten Restaurantgruppe D&D London übernommen und in ein stilvolles kulinarisches Ziel verwandelt. Das denkmalgeschützte Gebäude der Kategorie Grade II besticht durch seine beeindruckende Architektur mit hohen Decken und einer offenen Struktur, die seine sportliche Vergangenheit mit einem modernen, eleganten Ambiente verbindet. Heute beherbergt es drei verschiedene Bereiche: das Grand Café im Erdgeschoss, das gehobene Restaurant im ersten Stock und die schicke Meister Bar, die sich ebenfalls auf der oberen Ebene befindet.

Mittel-europäische Küche in London

Die Küche des „German Gymnasium“ ist von mittel-europäischen, insbesondere deutschen, Einflüssen geprägt und bietet eine spannende Mischung aus traditionellen Gerichten und modernen Interpretationen. Im Restaurant-Bereich sticht das „Wiener Schnitzel“ hervor, ein zartes Kalbsschnitzel, das mit knuspriger Panade und klassischen Beilagen wie Kartoffelsalat serviert wird – ein Gericht, das die Essenz der deutschen Küche einfängt. Ebenso beliebt ist der „Schwarzwälder Hirsch“, ein saisonales Wildgericht mit reichem Geschmack, das mit einer raffinierten Sauce und Beilagen angeboten wird, die die Jahreszeit widerspiegeln. Im Grand Café erfreut sich die „Currywurst“ großer Beliebtheit, ein deutscher Klassiker mit würziger Sauce und hausgemachten Pommes, der die ungezwungene Seite der Speisekarte repräsentiert. Die Desserts sind ebenfalls ein Highlight, etwa die „Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte“, die mit ihrer Kombination aus Schokolade, Kirschen und Sahne einen süßen Abschluss bietet, der Tradition und Genuss vereint.

Historisches Restaurant mit Cocktails

Die Getränkekarte ist ebenso vielseitig und beeindruckend. Die Meister Bar lockt mit einer Auswahl an kreativen Cocktails, darunter der „Berlin Mule“, eine moderne Variante des Klassikers mit deutschem Wodka und einem Hauch von Ingwer, die perfekt zur eleganten Atmosphäre passt. Auch deutsche Biere und eine umfangreiche Weinkarte mit Schwerpunkt auf Weinen aus Deutschland und Österreich ergänzen das Angebot und laden dazu ein, die Speisen mit passenden Getränken zu kombinieren. Für Nicht-Alkoholiker gibt es erfrischende Optionen wie hausgemachte Limonaden, die das Erlebnis abrunden.

Deutsche Küche in London erleben

Das Ambiente des „German Gymnasium“ ist einzigartig und vielschichtig. Das Grand Café im Erdgeschoss bietet eine lebhafte, brasserieartige Stimmung mit geschwungenen Sitzbänken und warmem Licht, ideal für ein entspanntes Essen oder einen Kaffee zwischendurch. Der Restaurantbereich im ersten Stock ist eleganter und intimer, mit großen Fenstern und einem Blick auf das geschäftige Treiben unten – ein Ort, der sich für besondere Anlässe eignet. Die Meister Bar fügt eine glamouröse Note hinzu, inspiriert von der Berliner Nachtlebenszene, und ist ein beliebter Spot für Cocktails und späte Abende. Eine Außenterrasse erweitert den Raum bei schönem Wetter und bietet eine willkommene Möglichkeit, die Umgebung zu genießen.

Kulinarisches Ziel in London

Der Service ist professionell und aufmerksam, wobei das Personal darauf bedacht ist, den Gästen ein angenehmes Erlebnis zu bieten, sei es durch Empfehlungen zur Speisekarte oder durch schnelle Bedienung in Stoßzeiten. Das Restaurant zieht ein gemischtes Publikum an – von Geschäftsleuten, die die Nähe zu den Bahnhöfen King’s Cross und St. Pancras schätzen, über Touristen, die die historische Architektur bewundern, bis hin zu Einheimischen, die ein Stück mittel-europäische Küche in London suchen. Es ist auch für seine Nachhaltigkeitsbemühungen bekannt, etwa durch die Verwendung saisonaler Zutaten und die Reduzierung von Lebensmittelverschwendung, was dem modernen Anspruch der D&D-Gruppe entspricht.

Ousain provided us with excellent service in this spacious and pleasant venue for lunch, we started with an excellent Bloody Mary and then enjoyed steak tartare, trio of sausages, curried sausages and hotdogs. The beer went down well and the bill was reasonable. Ousain kindly offered to lead the singing of happy birthday to my cousin who was 50. We Recommend German gymnasium 👍

I had a great time here. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed beverages on the lovely terrace. Our server, Toheeb, was excellent, really informative, and made us feel very comfortable. Eating at a restaurant with such great service is always a pleasure.

Great Spot for Food and Vibes! I recently visited German Gymnasium in King's Cross, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is spot on stylish yet relaxed, with a nice buzz. The building itself is beautiful, with high ceilings and a blend of modern and historic touches. The food was delicious, especially if you’re into hearty German and European dishes. The schnitzel was crispy and perfectly cooked, and the sausages were great too. They’ve got a good selection of beers and cocktails, which is always a win. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing a casual bite or looking for somewhere a bit more special. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Food ok but pretty poor service. We were a group of 8-10 business women meeting for the first time and had chosen this place due to its reputation. When we sat down it took a fair while to get someone to take out drinks order (coffees &teas as it was 11 am on a Friday morning). Even longer to take the food order and while some drinks arrived we waited 50 min for a number of coffees! (Yes, we asked several times where they were). The restaurant wasn't terribly busy and yet after an hour and a half (most of which had been spent waiting to order and then for the orders) we were told we had to vacate our tables in 15 min. We had not been told there was a time limit when booking, some ladies where still eating their mains and had drinks to finish. Just to be clear, while there was a lot of chatting on the table, we had all ordered food and drinks, so this wasn't a case of hogging tables for free. We just wanted a nice place with good food to meet up. Overall I was surprised by the poor service and obviously none of us will be returning.

Pretty high priced industrial london service and below average food. Would save your savings for elsewhere.

I booked here for valentine's day on account of the mostly good reviews. On the positive side, the ambience is nice, the food options are good and it's in a convenient location. Unfortunately, however, my review is quite the opposite. Whilst the service was ok (not amazing), and whilst the food was reasonable, I was violently ill after eating here within the hour of leaving the restaurant. I emailed the restaurant the next day and my partner called at least twice, and they performed a review and concluded they did nothing wrong. I'm afraid, as I didn't eat anything beforehand since lunch and nothing afterwards I'm completely sure there was an issue with what I ate here. (I also know my body and know that being sick directly after eating for an hour and then suddenly feeling fine is on account of eating something bad). I mentioned I had a shellfish allergy and their review focused on this element and concluded it was not in relation to my shellfish allergy, however, I'm afraid it was obviously a bacterial reaction to something. Unfortunately, the response was defensive and in the spirit of covering their own backs. On this basis I'm afraid I cannot recommend this restaurant (unusual for my Google local guides reviews as I almost always only leave positive reviews of the places that I try). I found the response to throwing up violently for an hour tremendously corporate and procedural. Whilst I don't expect the bill for the night being refunded (though I do expect my food being refunded for obvious reasons, though this request was declined) there is certainly better customer care out there. On account of this experience I'm afraid my opinion is to avoid this restaurant and go somewhere else. Because if you are ill after eating here the result will be a defensive and procedural piece of paper work to cover themselves.

This place only got a 4* for the food for the portion sizes, it wasn't cheap but it also wasn't super expensive, if you're looking to try something new and be nice and close to Kings Cross this is a great shout, staff were really friendly and it has a very posh atmosphere (for is peasant folk anyway to s😄) but yes I'd recommend!

Attitude on past two occasions wanting to have a drink with a friend at the bar was astounding. At 5.30 on a Wednesday I was told it was unlikely I’d find a space but why not go and have a look..! Ignore the GG go to the Standard nearby where they are polite and make an effort to find you a table. Better value & environment too.

Really interesting décor and history. The staff was really nice and polite. The food was fantastic. The pork knuckle, the duck and the Leberkase burger tasted really good. Nice German beers and cocktails.
