Restaurant/cafe suggestions London nr Padd/Euston

[SavageHoutkop]

I'm going to be down South to meet up with a friend who's visiting the UK.
So I'll be training down into Euston, she's based near Tower Bridge; and Mr SavageHoutkop will be training into Paddington.
Mr SHK & I will have our Bromptons with us.

Suggestions for good food in a not-too-formal environment? Thinking somewhere between Padd/Euston or alternately nearby to one of them but easily accessible from Northern/Jubilee lines.

I'm also particularly partial to organic/locally sourced etc, and ideally the place shouldn't mind us staying late. I'll be there from about 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.

And, of course, they should be happy letting B's in.

Possible/impossible?
Thanks in advance

There is a lovely Nepalese curry house next to Euston station, but I'm not sure how bicycle friendly they are, it is quite a small place with no room to store bikes ...

How about the Natural Kitchen http://www.thenaturalkitchen.com/restaurant.php

Their restaurant is equidistant to Paddington and Euston stations - roughly a mile from each

Not sure about the bikes though - maybe some form of bike storage at the station?

There is a Le Pan Quotidien in Kings Cross- they do a lot of nice breads, platters etc

Thanks all - Le Pan Quotdien looks a good bet (hard to miss the station for a non-Londoner - although it's a large station now!). Should I book? There was something on the website about possibly booking.

The Natural Kitchen - the one in between the stations is the cafe, by the looks of things, and I thought I saw on their site that they only did 'nibbles' (lunch stuff) there rather than more substantial food...? The other one, the real 'restaurant' - would be fine for the two of us on two wheels, but for the non-local public transport riding visitors...

I've not been around there or to that branch to eat - worth calling and booking just in case and let them know you'll have two bromptons so they won't be surprised.

PS the cakes are very good!

I shall save dessert space

Just a heads up for anyone else who stumbles over this thread (weeks late but ah well) - it was good food and a great suggestion (thanks TTcycle!) but you really do need to book to be sure of a place - glad I did!

glad it worked out well - wow surprised that you needed to book, it must be very busy in that store.
