German Gymnasium

German Gymnasium brings a touch of grand European theatre to King’s Cross.

Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century gymnasium, its soaring ceilings and vast arched windows set a striking scene, while contemporary design notes soften the scale with warmth and polish. The result is an impressive yet inviting space that suits everything from leisurely lunches to celebratory suppers.

In the kitchen, modern European cooking meets the comfort and heart of German and Central European traditions. Seasonal ingredients underpin plates that move with ease from convivial small bites to generous feasting.

To start, rösti potatoes and horseradish cream follow a delicate Severn & Wye smoked salmon, and beef tartare is hand chopped with curry mayonnaise paired with a toast melba.

Continue with the golden nostalgia of wiener schnitzel with potato salad and lingonberry compote or schnitzel holstein topped with a fried egg, cornichons, and capers. Lastly, classics nürnberger rostbratwürste and currywurst bring a spirited, street-level charm to the table.

Settle beneath those arches, let time slow, and limber up the appetite. Book a table, raise a glass, and make a night of it - no workout required.
