Description
Housed in a stunning Grade II-listed gymnasium, German Gymnasium is one of London’s most impressive dining spaces. With soaring ceilings, sleek interiors, and a menu that blends classic Mittel-European flavours with modern brasserie style, this King’s Cross hotspot delivers on both looks and taste.
The menu is bold, hearty, and unapologetically indulgent. Think perfectly grilled schnitzels, slow-cooked pork knuckle, and bratwurst straight from the streets of Berlin. But it’s not all about Bavarian feasts—there’s also lighter European brasserie fare, creative vegetarian options, and an excellent weekend brunch that keeps locals coming back.
And let’s not forget the beer. With a curated selection of German and Austrian brews, plus a solid cocktail and wine list, this is one of the best places in London to raise a stein.
💡 What to Try:
✔ Veal Schnitzel – Classic, crispy, and served with potato salad and lingonberries
✔ Käsespätzle – Germany’s answer to mac & cheese, rich, gooey, and seriously comforting
✔ Weekend Brunch – Indulgent, European-style, and best paired with a mimosa
Whether you’re looking for a lively spot for after-work drinks, a stylish dinner with friends, or a weekend brunch with a Bavarian twist, German Gymnasium brings big flavours, grand surroundings, and the best of German hospitality right to King’s Cross.
