Lovely lunch at my current favourite restaurant, Grain Store<\/a>, today. The redevelopment at Kings Cross along the Regent’s Canal – where Grain Store is located – is looking good, and it was stunning in the May sunshine. Between two, we had three small plates and one large one, and came away well fed. On the wine front, we started with a glass of the Nyetimber Classic Cuvee 2009, which is just fabulous. And then a bottle of the Sepp Moser Gruner Veltliner Von Den Terrassen 2013, which was bright and precise. The wine list is very good (but not quite great), scattered with quite a few interesting things, and it’s well priced.<\/p>\n

This was a lovely dish: watermelon, Padron peppers and a pecorino and olive ‘truffle’<\/p>\n

This was also superb. Raw mushrooms on a bed of broad bean and chick pea hummus, topped with a slow-cooked ducks egg.<\/p>\n

This? It’s roast endives in Kimechi butter, with courgette spaghetti and hot smoked sea trout. Rich, comforting flavours.<\/p>\n

This is butternut squash ravioli, mustard apricots and rocket. Grain Store is affordable, inventive and delicious. I also really like the space, with the open kitchen providing a nice focal point. It’s also cleverly acoustically baffled, so the noise level doesn’t get too high. It just works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
