The brasserie, originally designed by the acclaimed Martin Brudnizki, showcases elegant 1920s Art Deco interiors that include rich wood panelling, brass fixtures and a vintage station clock. The menu is inspired by the warmth and elegance of the grand railway station restaurants of Paris, such as Le Train Bleu at Gare de Lyon and Café de la Paix at Gare Saint-Lazare. Highlights include Escargot de Bourgogne with garlic and parsley butter, French onion soup with Gruyère croutons and Saucisse de Morteau aux lentilles. Complementing these French dishes are beloved British staples, such as Battered haddock with minted peas and tartar sauce and Sausage and mash with onion gravy reflecting the brasserie’s connection between London and Paris.With views of the station’s architectural grandeur, the Eurostar and Tracey Emin’s neon “I Want My Time With You”, St Pancras Bar offers a selection of small plates and features the ‘Press for Champagne’ table-side button.
