On the ground floor of the offices of award-winning architects Allies and Morrison The Table makes an excellent staff canteen (a bit like The River Cafe only here it really is a cafe). When the practice came to design their own offices they decided to convert the bike shed underneath into a cafe. They are also responsible for the entire Blue Fin Building just across the road well as landmark projects like the Royal Festival Hall refit and the Peter Harrison Planetarium. King's Cross and the Olympic site's media centre are also significant projects. At The Table, winner of Time Out's 2006 Cheap Eats Award, prices are surprisingly affordable - especially given the modern architecturally designed space. You can serve yourself from the counter, eat in or takeaway, choosing from the daily changing menu which is likely to include a fish of the day, homemade tart as well as sandwiches, complemented by Monmouth's excellent coffee. We recommend coming here for a weekend brunch of smoked streaky bacon and eggs on toast - it's what you've worked hard all week for. A real pleasure.
