Salads and lighter lunches, from Caesar to goat cheese

Fresh salad bowl with burrata and leaves at Fiena, King's Cross

Not every lunch near King's Cross needs to be a event. The salad corner of the Fiena main menu keeps the middle of the day light without making it boring, served from midday every day on Judd Street.

Two salads, properly built

The Caesar comes with cos lettuce, garlic croutons, parmesan and a proper dressing, topped with chicken or salmon. The goat cheese salad answers with mixed leaves, walnuts, honey mustard and warm roasted goat cheese, the vegetarian order that non-vegetarians keep stealing.

Sides that behave like mains

Tenderstem broccoli, French beans, rocket and parmesan, sauteed mushrooms and rosemary potatoes let you build the plate you actually want. Add a daily squeezed juice or a glass of Provence rose from the drinks list depending on the kind of afternoon ahead.
