What an amazing place food staff atmosphere and setting are top notch. Well worth a visit.
I made my first visit to the elegant Rotunda Bar and Restaurant this evening. The staff were friendly & welcoming, the service was exceptional and the live msuic was excellent. I highly recommend anyone pay a visit for a relaxing evening
Beautiful location, great food, friendly staff, the function room is great for family celebrations
Stunning bottomless brunch great location by the water. A real gem

Nice ambience... Staff very helpful and friendly

I decided to have a Retirement Event at the Rotunda Bar and Restaurant and met with Lucinda who carefully listened to all of my requirements. She was extremely helpful on making suggestions that would make the event run smoothly. I was kept up to date with potential costs so nothing came as a surprise. The event was a great success and I have only had positive comments about the venue and the service. All of the staff from the management, the bar staff and the catering staff were polite, helpful and cheerful and it seemed that nothing was too much trouble. I have no doubt that some of those attending the event will decide to use this venue in the future.
I arranged this as a venue for our Christmas work function so might not be the best event to judge the place by. It has a nice setting by the river, good service, and food was ok. Prices were huge which put me off a little, but this is probably due to it being a Christmas function.
Home » Kings Cross » REVIEW: Rotunda, Kings Cross – Catch of the Day, South Coast Fish Supper. I don’t know why, but my dining habits seem to be changing ever so rapidly at the moment. For as long as I can remember, my eating choices have always been high-end and mostly Michelin star-studded. These days however I seem to be dining with the underdogs – those restaurants you rarely hear about, tucked away in alleys, side streets or in city centre suburbs. London is still very much going through its foodie boom and I feel the capital is starting to lose some its passion and love for good, honest food. A chefs passion is no doubt still in the kitchen, but not always does that reflect fully with the diner – that’s why we all need to remember that passionate places such as Rotunda in Kings Cross exists. Full of passion, lovely staff and indulgent food. It’s not the most refined place in Kings Cross – but its memorable and I want to return. That’s always a good sign.
Good location, menu. Rotunda's location canal-side and large patio along the water made for a great experience, though they have to close the patio at 10pm. The food was pricey but good; one of the better burgers I've had in London & closer to what you'd find in the States, well-seasoned meat with nice wedge fries. Dessert (cherry tart in a moat of vanilla custard) was delicious. The staff were very gracious and helpful when my wife and I showed up with our 1-year-old for a late dinner, even though the evening had switched more into the young and fancy social/party scene than dinner by that point. A good choice in their area by King's Cross/St. Pancras!
Went to the Rotunda before a concert in King's Place. Had the pre-performance menu -2 courses. The food was light and fresh and arrived promptly. The coffee and white chocolate opera with raspberries dessert choice was a delight.
It is a lovely location, on the canal and Ideal prior to a performance.
I ordered parsley gnocchi served with rocket and sauce vierge. The gnocchi was dense, not soft and pillowy, but it had a good flavour.
Amazing food! 5/5 for the meat!
We ordered the most expensive steak cut to give it a shot, and it was worth it!! We first ordered it with a side of mushroom sauce but then decided not to use the sauce because it overshadowed the incredible meat taste!!
The steak didn’t even need extra salt or seasoning! It was mouthwatering on its own!
The drinks were kind of nice too.
Rated 4/5 in general because I felt it is a bit overpriced for the portions but would definitely come again!!
Great experience
Lovely location overlooking the canal. Good range of snacks and soft drinks but we didn't have a full meal. Very obliging staff, accommodating my husband's wheelchair, and a highchair for my niece.
Easy to get to on 390 bus ( after seeing the canal museum)
I love Rotunda. Have eaten here several times but usually during the week. This visit was Saturday brunch, although we ended up having the lunch menu. Welcoming and friendly service, great surroundings with a nice booth overlooking the canal. Food was delicious as always. Meats are prepared on site and all the more tasty for it. Highly recommended.
I just heard about this gem and I am glad I did! I had the Tuna Tartare and a burger with bottled water. The tuna was amazing, fresh, and with the perfect blend of ingredients, and the burger was juicy, hearty, and flavorful! Even the bottled water was better than any bottled water in London, tasted like it was melted fresh off an iceberg; so good that I bought two!! Well worth every penny!! I would definitely go back!!
Today I visited a restaurant on the recommendation of someone who has eaten here before. Two of us chose the Sunday Roast Dinner with the chicken and the third person had the beef version (Roast Sirloin). The chicken portion was HUGE !! For dessert, we chose Tart of the Day, which was the Pear and Almond and Orange with Cardamom flavored Creme Brulee. Everything was fresh and well presented. The waiters were polite and helpful, paying attention to details in terms of food allergies.
I went here whilst attending the Podcast Festival, so it was a quick sit down bite to eat before returning to a session.
The waiters were polite but weren't very attentive, but it could have been because it was still early and the restaurant was setting up for the day.
They graciously changed my order from pancakes and bacon to fruit, and I thoroughly enjoyed my food.
Really great aesthetic and I love the way the restaurant backs off on to the river.
Glad I discovered this place inside Kings Place.
Fantastic! Kasia, our waiter, was fantastic and extremely courteous and friendly. Allowed us to take our time over drinks and food rather than rush us out the door for another cover.
The food was excellent. Dry ages steak which is aged in their meat cellar. Very well seasoned and expertly cooked. The chef sent us out an extra portion of chips knowing that we would demolish the lot. A lovely touch.
Such an incredible location just by the water - quiet and off the well trodden track! Will 100% go back there again!
This was of a private function of section of bar which having sliding door & of TV screen which was required and of access area to veiw of canal.
Such a gorgeous place. Had an amazing night. Couldn't of asked for more from staff, they were freindly and lovely. The food was out of this world and well worth the money. Will definitely going back again soon.
From the second of entry, the staff were genuinely friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect, as was the outside seated areas, right next to the canal, on one of the hotest nights of the year. Our family had an excellent time, and the staff were an essential ingredient:)
Totally beautiful spot on Regent’s Canal, in the middle of Kings Cross but away from the hustle and bustle. The £20 bottomless Prosecco deal can’t be beat! Food and service excellent too.
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 be definitely coming back to try the main menu.
Such a great discovery in London! Quiet and beautiful terrace by the canals with a cozy interior. Fantastic service, Ivan took great care of our big group and was super nice. Great food and drinks, from special cocktails to beers for all tastes. Will definitely hang out more here!
Having visited the Rotunda a few times before, we went back recently for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed.
The service was impeccable as always, we had a group of six adults and a dog on our booking and we were warmly welcomed - the dog was immediately served cold water and treats by the server, GG. We we were promptly served our drinks and food orders by the servers and a mistake on the order was immediately rectified by the Manager.
The lamb roasts were delicious and well portioned as were the salads and starters. We ordered a selection of desserts and coffees and they were very well made.
GG’s service in particular was most attentive on such a busy day and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be visiting again.
Great place to eat, food and service very good even for gluten free. Don't be put off by thinking it's a bar with food, this is a front on modern restaurant with a bar
Not rated the food because we didn’t eat.
Had a lovely evening at the Rotunda bar after it was recommended by colleagues (I work around the corner). Great summer spot. Want to mention Ivan - our server - cos he was polite, friendly, great to chat to and very attentive. Overall would recommend it.
We wanted to watch the Hungary-France match and found this place. The staff members were very proactive, professional and friendly. The manager was asking us how the game was, had some friendly chat.
Attached picture of our starter, goat cheese souffle, delicious! 😋
We had a great time, the food was amazing and brilliant service!! Definitely would like to come back!
