Coal Office

North London


Flavour-of-the-month chef, Israeli Assif Granit, has this as his latest venture. This wonderful restaurant is housed in the mid-19th-century Fish & Coal buildings on the Regent’s Canal in 'new' King's Cross. Dishes – Israeli, Levantine, Mediterranean – are meant to be shared. The interior is the work of designer Tom Dixon; expect some cutting-edge furniture and kitchenware. Stunning rooftop terrace.
