Ottolenghi Islington
A North London family rite of passage — Saturday brunch at Ottolenghi Islington is the definition of a great family morning.

St Pancras Bar & Brasserie sits on the first floor of the station, an art-deco refuge above the Eurostar concourse where families escape the platform chaos for proper French brasserie cooking. Kids get their own menu, and the highchairs and spacious booths work well for buggy-wielding parents who need somewhere comfortable to wait out a delay or celebrate a birthday. One parent noted bringing their family here when train trouble struck: "we were tired and admittedly not our best dressed, but we were welcomed, seated and served professionally and promptly." The ox cheek bourguignon draws repeat orders, the fish pie is rich, and the mussels earn consistent praise. Reviewers mention staff members like Edward and Juan by name for going above and beyond — one diner reports Edward surprised their daughter's 18th with a special dessert. Baby changing facilities and buggy-friendly spacing mean this works for both toddler lunches and celebrations, though finding the first-floor entrance near the Eurostar lifts can take a lap or two.
