Great restaurant with a lovely selection of dishes to choose from, plus a stunning Christmas menu. I believe there are vegetarian and vegan options as well. Me and my friend had a set Christmas menu, and we were very pleasantly surprised with the great quality of the food as well as friendliness of the staff and management. I believe we had for starters - the soup and butternut squash mouse, mains were - cod and cauliflower steak, while the desserts were - pavlove and deconstructed black forest gateau. All the dishes were presented beautifully and tasted great. Absolutely no complaints and will

Rotunda can be found tucked away through 90 York Way and opens up into views of the canal near King's Cross where there is a large outdoor seating area so great in the summer months. The servers were attentive and showed/discussed the various cuts of meat during a late lunch I had there. Not a huge selection of food but certainly enough something for everyone, which I like. We had the sharing sirloin which was delicious (and I had a crab meat starter). Plenty of drink options including wines and flavoured Gins as well as draught lagers. It isn't the cheapest place but not completely over the top

I don't usually do a review, but I was celebrating my anniversary last night, and we chose @Rotundalondon for this special occasion. From the starter to desserts was fantastic. Cocktails wow, my favourite was Paloma Punch, so complementary to the chef because Cote de boeuf was totality splendid thanks to service team 10/10 without hesitation I recommend this restaurant.
