Ousain provided us with excellent service in this spacious and pleasant venue for lunch, we started with an excellent Bloody Mary and then enjoyed steak tartare, trio of sausages, curried sausages and hotdogs. The beer went down well and the bill was reasonable. Ousain kindly offered to lead the singing of happy birthday to my cousin who was 50. We Recommend German gymnasium 👍

I had a great time here. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed beverages on the lovely terrace. Our server, Toheeb, was excellent, really informative, and made us feel very comfortable. Eating at a restaurant with such great service is always a pleasure.

Great Spot for Food and Vibes!
I recently visited German Gymnasium in King's Cross, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is spot on stylish yet relaxed, with a nice buzz. The building itself is beautiful, with high ceilings and a blend of modern and historic touches.
The food was delicious, especially if you’re into hearty German and European dishes. The schnitzel was crispy and perfectly cooked, and the sausages were great too. They’ve got a good selection of beers and cocktails, which is always a win.
Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing a casual bite or looking for somewhere a bit more special. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Food ok but pretty poor service. We were a group of 8-10 business women meeting for the first time and had chosen this place due to its reputation.
When we sat down it took a fair while to get someone to take out drinks order (coffees &teas as it was 11 am on a Friday morning).
Even longer to take the food order and while some drinks arrived we waited 50 min for a number of coffees! (Yes, we asked several times where they were).
The restaurant wasn't terribly busy and yet after an hour and a half (most of which had been spent waiting to order and then for the orders) we were told we had to vacate our tables in 15 min. We had not been told there was a time limit when booking, some ladies where still eating their mains and had drinks to finish.
Just to be clear, while there was a lot of chatting on the table, we had all ordered food and drinks, so this wasn't a case of hogging tables for free. We just wanted a nice place with good food to meet up.
Overall I was surprised by the poor service and obviously none of us will be returning.

I like the place a lot. Good prices great food with some German style dishes. Very nice schnitzels, I particularly like the veal schnitzel. Nice cakes, try the apple strudel with hot vanilla cream. Good service.

Pretty high priced industrial london service and below average food. Would save your savings for elsewhere.

I booked here for valentine's day on account of the mostly good reviews.
On the positive side, the ambience is nice, the food options are good and it's in a convenient location.
Unfortunately, however, my review is quite the opposite. Whilst the service was ok (not amazing), and whilst the food was reasonable, I was violently ill after eating here within the hour of leaving the restaurant. I emailed the restaurant the next day and my partner called at least twice, and they performed a review and concluded they did nothing wrong. I'm afraid, as I didn't eat anything beforehand since lunch and nothing afterwards I'm completely sure there was an issue with what I ate here. (I also know my body and know that being sick directly after eating for an hour and then suddenly feeling fine is on account of eating something bad).
I mentioned I had a shellfish allergy and their review focused on this element and concluded it was not in relation to my shellfish allergy, however, I'm afraid it was obviously a bacterial reaction to something. Unfortunately, the response was defensive and in the spirit of covering their own backs. On this basis I'm afraid I cannot recommend this restaurant (unusual for my Google local guides reviews as I almost always only leave positive reviews of the places that I try). I found the response to throwing up violently for an hour tremendously corporate and procedural. Whilst I don't expect the bill for the night being refunded (though I do expect my food being refunded for obvious reasons, though this request was declined) there is certainly better customer care out there.
On account of this experience I'm afraid my opinion is to avoid this restaurant and go somewhere else. Because if you are ill after eating here the result will be a defensive and procedural piece of paper work to cover themselves.

This place only got a 4* for the food for the portion sizes, it wasn't cheap but it also wasn't super expensive, if you're looking to try something new and be nice and close to Kings Cross this is a great shout, staff were really friendly and it has a very posh atmosphere (for is peasant folk anyway to s😄) but yes I'd recommend!

Attitude on past two occasions wanting to have a drink with a friend at the bar was astounding. At 5.30 on a Wednesday I was told it was unlikely I’d find a space but why not go and have a look..! Ignore the GG go to the Standard nearby where they are polite and make an effort to find you a table. Better value & environment too.

Really interesting décor and history. The staff was really nice and polite. The food was fantastic. The pork knuckle, the duck and the Leberkase burger tasted really good. Nice German beers and cocktails.
