Brunch near King's Cross station usually means somewhere loud inside the terminal. Five minutes down Judd Street there is a quieter answer. Fiena is a family-run cafe, bar and restaurant with a tree-shaded terrace, serving brunch daily until 2pm, one visitor described it as a fine little gem tucked away near King's Cross and St Pancras.
The long-morning menu
Eggs Benedict in three ways, the Fiena English, poached eggs on avocado, the Fiena Tower with pancakes and maple syrup, smoothies and daily squeezed juices. After 10:30 the bar joins in, which is how a flat white becomes an Aperol spritz without anyone moving seats.
Terrace or banquette
On a clear day the terrace is the spot, dogs welcome outdoors, water bowls on request. Inside it is green banquettes and marble tables. Guests on Google, 4.8 from more than 2,000 reviews, call it relaxing and friendly, which is exactly the plan.
Find us at 4 Medway Court, Judd Street, WC1H 9QX. Book a table for weekend brunch, or wander in.
