Coal Office

An unforgettable experience at Coal Office. The food and the entire experience were simply amazing. From the moment we arrived, the hostess welcomed us with warmth and professionalism and made us feel like royalty. We sat at the bar in front of the open kitchen, where the chefs prepare and serve the food directly. It made the whole evening feel personal, special, and truly unique. We were three adults, and the service, attention, and generosity from the team were outstanding. At some point, we let the chefs choose the dishes for us — and everything was incredible. I must specifically mention the entrecôte steak, which was the best steak I have ever had. A special thank you to Or and Sous Chef Noa for taking such great care of us. Highly recommended. This is a culinary experience I will not forget.

Great food. The best ones were poussin main dish (tender, fantastic sauce) and the otoro appetizer (melt in mouth) and the brioche (buttery and fluffy, super fresh). The wines by glass were very drinkable. I had an Israeli white and gavi de gavi. Both light and refreshing. Industrial feel to the place. The back is nice - quieter and not too drafty

We had a very good and warm evening dining here. The food was delicious and not standard, which makes a dining experience memorable for me. The ambiance was warm and friendly(only the music was sometimes a bit too loud for us). The service was quick! Maybe for some too quick, but I’m a fast eater.. so for me there was no problem. I would definitely recommend this restaurant or go again myself.

Part of the impressive Coal Drop Yard development behind St Pancras station - the Coal Office cuisine is a mixed, Middle Eastern affair. Shades of Ottolenghi abound. The menu is divided between small bites, mid-sized and large plates. It’s a little confusing and does work out a little pricey as the line between under and over-ordering is a fine one. The breads were excellent - a good mix - ordered with a tahini dip that was nicely bitter and hot. I unfortunately did not pay too much attention to the menu as other family members were ordering so, can’t recall the details! The highlights were the grilled Hispi cabbage, the corn croquettes and the poussin - everything else was tasty but not outstanding. The low lights were the sardines - OK but not too much flavour - and the calamari - tiny little rings of OK’ness. The staff welcome was warm however, despite being relatively quiet, the service was slow - we had to go and ask for drinks - on the up side, given we are both fast and big drinkers, the inattentive drinks service probably saved us from ordering another bottle of wine! Desserts were fantastic though. A delicious chocolate ganache served on a chewy biscuit base, semifreddo with cherries, a lemon tart and a panacotta with strawberries all hit the spot. The dessert was a high point to end the meal. All in all it was OK but at £75 pp, overpriced.

The food here is outstanding. Try the pita cloud and the calamari definitely. The best calamari we've ever eaten. Lovely service too. We've been twice and we'll definitely be back!
