Voyage

London, UK

King’s Cross has worked hard in recent times to become a go-to rather than go-through location, but destination restaurants are still somewhat in short supply, with casual affairs still the favoured choice. In that respect, Adam Simmonds’ Voyage at the technicolour Megaro Hotel could be a game changer. The space is suitably stripped back, the food – from a chef with seriously good creds ranging from Le Manoir and The Ritz to Le Gavroche and Ynyshir – is just beautiful. Yes, it’s Michelin-y, a bit Scandi, delicate and picture-perfect (a huge slab of meat with carbs it is not), but it isn’t without considerable substance. Tasting menus pair oysters with Granny Smith apple and asparagus; venison with ember-roasted beetroot; and sweetbread with onion puree: most definitely in the go-to category.
