Lazaret evokes traditional Parisian brasserie at a banquet supported by copper bars and brass rails, but features overworked stacked ducts and wall units filled with stacked white plates, pitchers, vases and other objects. Similarly, the stylish Comford Food menu includes modern dishes such as Normandy oysters, onion soup, roasted sausages with butter potato puree, scallops and oyster tartare with curry oil, as well as lemon mint sorbet and pineapple carpaccio.
Lazare is open Sunday through Saturday from 8am to 11pm, and Lazare is open in the city where the appearance time is hidebound. In any case, people's examinations are top notch. Starters range from 11 to 24 euros, and main courses range from 22 to 42 euros. – Alexander Roblano

St. Pancras International
London's St. Pancras International Station is a Victorian Gothic Revival icon that barely escaped demolition in the 1960s, and is a daily intersection for tens of thousands of travelers thanks to the rail links that run across the metropolitan cities and into continental Europe. The station offers an uplifting architecture, an international atmosphere and the opportunity to gently stop trains, with a train hall that once formed the world's largest enclosed space. The station and its surroundings also offer great opportunities to drink and eat.
Attached to the station, this St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel is a place with red bricks and raised iron piles that are recognised in Harry Potter movies and memorable Spice Girls videos. Enjoy alcohol-free concoctions like Orgate, Jasmine Tea and Everleaf Marine, which are plant pre-dinner plants (14 pounds, or about $18).
Next to it is Victor Garvey, Midland Grand, which recently opened in a space renovated in 2023 by Paris-based designer Hugo Toro. Soaking in the sparkle of the station's façade, only gardens from the Hammingrails leading to Paris, this elegant dining room is a London home that suits modern French cuisine. The vast amount of mirrors and windows are arranged to suggest a Ricochet of light and perspective in a moving railway carriage. Toro said rethinking such a classic space is like finding an old coat for my grandmother and cutting it out into something new.
