Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Belsize Park

I recently dined at the German Gymnasium in King’s Cross and was thoroughly impressed by its authentic German cuisine and beer selection. Housed in a beautifully restored Grade II listed building, the restaurant offers a unique and inviting atmosphere. The menu features classic dishes like schnitzel and currywurst, all prepared with genuine German flavors. The beer list is extensive, showcasing a variety of traditional German brews that perfectly complement the meals. The attentive service and vibrant ambiance made for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend the German Gymnasium for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Germany in London.

Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!

Very good food, friendly and professional staff. Gorgeous meat menu of night ( special menu). An absolute suggestion to experience. Arrivederci

Superb food, wine and good service. The dishes are so beautiful visually and with such stunning flavour. Four of us shared the stuffed courgette flowers, ham, boquerones, tuna tartare, t-bone, tomato and onion salad and surprisingly tasty broccoli. Our friends who know more about wine than us appreciated the great wine list (and chose so well!). What a team and what great food. Thank you and congratulations. Just as good as when we’ve been before.

Fantastic place, will definitely be back if we're down in London. Beautiful food, and excellent service from Zach. He even arranged a little bonus for my partner's birthday.
