VOC (King's Cross)

• In which the restaurant and bar is named after
• The food here is the new addition
• The cocktails are still the highlight
• The cocktail and punch menu was created by famous mixologists
• Each cocktail is an experience giving you the opportunity to re live the senses and smells from around the 18th century
• Potion bottles were filled with a raspberry concoction
• Then dishes such as pike with dandelion salad and an unusual sea urchin powder will not disappoint or perhaps John Dory
• Served on a bone were quite salty
• But fermented pumpkin ice cream and mint emulsion was probably the most amazing example of ice cream i have ever had
• The texture was beautiful and lingering
• The food menu is just as fitting
• All the food is cooked and served from such a tiny kitchen
• Impressions a lovely bar and restaurant with a great deal of art as part of the decor
• I will return soon as it is not often an upmarket steak restaurant opens in Kings Cross
• VOC (King's Cross) is unique as the dining area is very upmarket and the bar area is filled with all kind of people
• Medium well and it was done just right
• I did not want to fill up with too much food as the bar was really rocking and the atmosphere was great
• I beleive that this is a lovely little place that is focussed on producing high quality cocktails and food in one of the busiest areas in Central london today
• One of the best in Kings Cross
• Who says this is just a bar
• We just had the best burgers right there in the bar
• Our waitress took us to our table upon arrival and the warm atmosphere proved a little uplifting as the music was not too loud and the restaurant was nearly full
• Apparently associated with the Ditch East Indies
• Both fillet steaks were really very good
• Mine was done just right and was complemented with crinkle cut chips and a very fresh salad
• Our entire dining experience was a positive one and I will readily recommend this wonderful establishment for both high quality food and drink
• This is a bona fide cocktail bar with a resident mixologist and a restaurant serving gourmet quality cuisine food to boot
• Our first visit here was memorable as we wee on our fifth round when someone mentioned food
• I know what I like and VOC (King's Cross) is really unique and we will be returning regularly
• I was out drinking with friends on the weekend and we ended up here
• It was the best burger I have had in a cocktail bar
• Later on we realised that there was a restaurant upstairs and the food was actually of that quality
• It was still the best burger i've had
• Right across the road from the train station is that holy drinking area
• Caledonia street with the trendiest restaurants and cocktail bars in Central london
• It looks like a cosy museum inside with relics from the 18th century
• Were told that there was a dining room upstairs
• We went upstairs when the food was ready and that was probably the best Sirloin i've had in a long time
• The atmosphere of the whole place was great as well
• I think they got the formula right here because we were here last evening and the atmosphere was fantastic
• Bartender made even better cocktails and the food was as good as any five star hotels
• So the cocktails are first class
• I had the smoked cheese burger and it was surprisingly very good
• The Bar section fairly dark and on the Friday evening we went was plenty crowded
• Once you make your way through the crowd at the bar you can go up a few stairs to the dining area which is quite a stark contrast
• Much brighter with light coloured walls and much more minimal decor
• S Cross area is completely unrecognisable to how it was a few years back
• Fried chicken shops are being replaced by trendy restaurants
• Located in the gorgeous Varnishers Yard was one of the first to jump onto the trend here and I remember attending the launch a few years back when I wrote for another publication
• The cocktails were fab and the food not bad
• The cocktails are still very good
• Up the stairs hiding away is VOC Grill &ndash
• The latest navigation fail was trying to find VOC Grill in King&rsquo
• I was meeting my buddy Charlotte who I first met a year ago when she was doing the PR for Barber&rsquo
• People who like cheese are always good people
• VOC Restaurant and Bar is a stylish intimate space which serves sensationally innovative cocktails/punch and a delightfully morish small plates menu
• What is fantastic about VOC is the fact that you can happily go there for any occasion whether lunch
• With a bespoke cocktail menu based on centuries old recipes brought up to date with modern mixology techniques you are spoilt for choice the minute you open the menu
• It was therefore a tough choice with cocktails called Walsingham&rsquo
• The menu also embraces the concept of discovery and as such is a revelation of dishes from the sea
• From the moment we tried the nibbles it was clear you are in for a treat
• The grilled sourdough bread was just out of the oven fresh served with a fennel butter which was
• Salt and Szechuan pepper squid and baked hake with sauté
• The stand out from the land dishes was the Scottish blackface lamb
• The five day crispy duck and fifth taste marinated umami chicken with wild mushroom provide strong competition
• The balance of flavours and the generous portion size mean you are not disappointed and you are nicely filled
• We accompanied our meal with Jerusalem artichoke and walnut which is a dish I could eat at least once a day every day
• It was tough but I made sure I could find space for dessert which was unequivocally an excellent decision
• Eton mess and the chocolate mousse were duly ordered
• The chocolate mousse is served on a chocolate biscuit base with a crunchy gianduia core meaning lots of play on textures
• It was however the Different Eton mess I most enjoyed consisting of beetroot meringue with dried strawberries
