Such a hidden gem! Visited here with a friend during our latest trip to London and was pleasantly surprised I do suggest making a reservation ahead of time because it can get pretty packed and rightfully so! The food was so good, great ambience was great with good music and the service was very good as well. We ordered a combination of tapas and main dishes and loved everything except for the tortilla de patata which was unfortunately very very runny and just not to our liking at all. Parking was unfortunately quite difficult as it usually is with most things in London. Everything else was fantastic and we really enjoyed ourselves read more

This restaurant was recommended by a few friends so we were so excited to try. And boy they were so right. The food is delicious. Simply delicious. Literally is the sort of Spanish flavor that you can hardly find in London. Highly recommend their suckling pig and the squid ink rice. My god that was so good I wanted to encore. Anchovies on crisps is very interesting but others dishes are not as amazing as what I have mentioned. But don't get me wrong! Everything was so good. Just these things that's so outstanding I had to highlight it. The wait staff was so nice too. We didn't know how much to order so we just keep on ordering but she actually tell us when to stop and turns out the portion was perfect for the two of us. Also we love a good jug of sangria. We made a mistake and didn't tell them to go easy on ice but you make sure to do that so you don't have to pay for half a jug of ice! Only thing I have to moan is the ambiance because it wasn't anything extraordinary. Very commercial very ordinary. Anyway, give it a go and I think you'll enjoy it! read more

Definitely on my list of my favorite places in London! Went here with my family for dinner as we're big fans of traditional Spanish tapas. It seemed pretty busy when we went, but it was easy to grab a table for four without a reservation. We got a pretty nice spread: tomato bread (simple, but tasty!), embutidos, jamon, arroz negro (probably one of my favorite things to eat there), the rib eye, and the Iberico meatballs. Everything was very tasty - I don't have a bad thing to say about anything we had. This place is great for groups and overall a very friendly atmosphere. Our server had quite the load as they seemed a little short-staffed when we went, but he was very attentive to our needs and made some excellent recommendations. Will definitely be back! read more

Used to be a great restaurant. The food is still top notch and the restaurant is a nice place to be. The problem these days is with the staff. It took the waitress 15 minutes to take my drink order. Then after clearing my plates she disappeared with out asking if I wanted desert or the bill. That took another 15 minutes. The she had the gaul to be irritated when I asked for the service charge to be removed. I won't be back in a rush. read more

Delightful Spanish tapa menu. Excellent service and casual atmosphere indoors and out. The pork tapas were delicious, as was the beer and wine. read more

The place is OK in general. Being Spanish, I think I know a thing or two about tapas and I have to say that the ones in Camino are so so... Patatas Bravas were ok, but the Croquetas were a big no (frozen ones from Iceland maybe?). Drinks are expensive, but they have Mahou beer, so they can be forgiven... Staff was friendly and the bar is nice. I loved all the posters around the place! Good place to meet with friends for a couple of drinks after work as it is very big and there is lot of space to sit and chat! Also table football! read more

Camino - Bars Near Me - London, XGL

I've been coming to Camino since a weekend trip in 2009, when I was working for 10 weeks in Altrincham. I took the Virgin Train down from Manchester, and stayed at a hotel near King's Cross. A quick search for tapas places within walking distance came back with Camino, and now I try to include it into every trip to London or Slough I make. Even though I've never had an issue walking up and getting a table at Camino, I decided to use their online booking. What with all that's going on in London this summer, I figured it was the safe bet. The place was busy, but there were a few seats at the bar, so I would've been OK as a single. The number of tables each server worked was a bit high, but the attitude of staff was good even if response time was a bit slow. Wine flights! While perusing the menu, I really had no idea what I wanted to eat, so I went back to the wines first. When I saw the wine flight listings, I thought that would be a good change of pace from getting just a bottle of something cheap (since I don't usually buy a good wine all for myself). I decided to start with the dry sherry flight. Clockwise from front, Amontillado, Manzanilla, and Fino. I paired the sherry flight with the "Tabla de Quesos," which was three lovely cheeses and various sweets, nuts, and crackers. I started with the Amontillado first, going to the Fino, then the Manzanilla last, comparing the wines with the cheeses. More research is required here; all the combinations were enjoyable. Because of the big shift between a sherry flight and a red wine flight, I decided to have a glass of Camino's sangria while waiting for the second set of tapas to come out. So, this meal became more of a starter-and-main sort of affair than just a bunch of small plates For the "main" -- Conchinillo con Morcilla - Roasted suckling pig from Aragon with Burgos morcilla, apple puree and thyme. Morcilla is Spanish blood sausage...boudin to you New Orleanians, "black pudding" to you lot in the UK. The morcilla is underneath a generous slice of roast pork, which had a great skin and a lovely sauce. The applesauce was such a great addition, as well. Add some great brown bread to these two, and it was a real winner. I added Grilled asparagus with romesco sauce as a veggie, and were they ever wonderful! To accompany the pork and asparagus--Red Wine Flight! Three Tempranillos, from Castilla y Leon, Rioja and Ribera. Lovely wines, all. Dessert: Postel de Chocolate, a flourless individual cake with a "molten" chocolate pudding filling, ginger ice cream, and a bit of raspberry sauce. The wine is a all de Xaló Mistela, a Spanish fortified wine. Service: this trip, a bit slow. Not sure if that's because of the crowd that evening or if there was a problem in the kitchen, but things didn't come out as fast as they have in the past. Gave me time to let all this food settle, but still, problematic. Overall, however, this meal was a winner, continuing my appreciation for Camino. read more

Yes its somewhat of a chain but it s not your average tapas chain. its a good mix between classics and more creative dishes or products. Its the first time I tasted cured beef and it was absolutely delicious. The arroz negro was perfectly cooked and the creamy aioli really complemented the squid ink. The morcilla was classic but good, same for the pan con tomate (though better than at most generic tapas places), But the star of the night was the special: Sandria with cured cod. Its made with watermelon marinated in sangria and served with slices of safran cured cod. An absolute delight and a must order if available. I was impressed and would comeback!!! read more

The bar was open when we passed this place on a bank holiday monday however we decided to come back another day when the restaurant was open. Good decision. Camino is a cool spanish tapas style food which makes a great stop for something light but filling. A great place to eat with some friends in a relaxed laid back but still classy environment. The cheese/figs wrapped in parma ham is a must-try. Everything else was good, well cooked but for asian tastebuds can be a little bland. This is fine for those watching their blood pressure I guess, but be ready to add salt particularly to the tuber/marrow family of foods. The quality of everything was cooked fantastically. Potatoes were sautéed to perfection. The squid sauce was lacking but no complaints about the creaminess of the squid (yep a feature I would never have associated with that piece of seafood). Ordering a few dishes and sharing is the winningest way to eat here. Price was, for the quantities and simplicity of what you're getting a little pricey. Expect £20-30 per head. However in the context of the great environment, superb service and general satisfaction of each dish, this place is a great introduction to Spanish style tapas and there are plenty more interesting things I'd like to try on the menu. Make sure to pick up the membership card at the end of your meal. Points will rack up pretty slowly, but registering it online will give you instantly 500 points or £5 off your next meal here. read more

Camino - Ensalada de higos and Huevo con calabaza - Bars Near Me - London, XGL

I've worked in this area for years but never made it to Camino, but today I was walking by and noticed the Express Lunch - 2 tapas for £6.95 so decided to give it a go. It's tucked away in a quiet little courtyard but there's a sign on the main road to help you find your way. Inside, the restaurant is really big - and today at 1pm, pretty empty and also really quite warm (much warmer than outside). The express menu has 8-10 things on it. I went for the ham & cheese croquetas and the huevos rotos (I wanted patatas bravas but they weren't on the express menu - odd, as I'd think it'd cost them less and be quicker than frying eggs!) Complimentary olives are brought - nice but not great. Even though I only had the 2 things, they came out at different times, with the croquettas appearing first. You get 4 and they're the size of a ping pong ball. I enjoyed them - I found them pretty much the same as the ones from Brindisa. Then the huevos rotos came out. Having learned how to make this dish from Omar Allibhoy directly in a private lesson (I'm not above name-dropping), I knew what to expect - broken eggs (hence the same) mixed with sauteed potatoes with maybe some onions and peppers (I didn't want to spend the extra £2 for chorizo). Oddly though it was 2 fried eggs on top of some fried potato rounds - a huge portion, but odd. The potatoes were nice but the eggs were overcooked, and didn't ooze at all (the waiter offered to 'cut the huevos' for me. As I've been using cutlery for over 30 years, I declined and managed it all on my own). The bill was actually nearly £12, because of the Coke and the service charge. Too much for lunch that's 2 tapas plates, to be honest. They use the Zapper app and if you've never used it, download it and when the bill comes, open it and scan the QR code. You can pay via your phone and get £5 off your first time. read more

We had a very odd experience. It took us almost 15 mins to have our order taken, we just seemed invisible to the staff. Then a member of the staff asked us if we could settle our bill before our food even arrived, we weren't sure why. Then all the hot food came before our drinks and our appetizers. The quality of the food was not great as well. read more

A small chain serving Spanish tapas for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's quite a reliable chain, no fancy affair but just expect to find the classic dishes and usually done quite well. I do enjoy the restaurant hidden in a quiet courtyard away from the hustle and bustle of King's Cross. Yet is makes it very convenient to get to. The restaurant is very spacious, made to look modern and clean. The large windows also allows a lot of natural light in. It was a really comfortable place to settle in to. Bacon roll Starting with a lovely bacon roll with coffee for just £4.00. A lovely soft white toasted bun filled with crispy bacon, rocket, tomatoes and added cheese. The flavours were all very balanced with the rocket adding a nice earthiness to the cured bacon and tomato providing moisture. Highly recommend adding the lovely stretchy cheese to add depth, also to keep in the heat and binding all the ingredients together. Tortilla de patata This was a lot better than it looks. The potato slices were beautifully soft and tender, rich in yolk making it nice and creamy in between and seasoned beautifully. Full Spanish breakfast Genuiely suprised at how delicious this was and all very well composed. The morcilla was lovely, fluffy and bringing in a lot of flavours. Chorizo was one of the softest ones I've had and a very welcomed new texture to enjoy pairing well with the other soft textures in the dish. The flavours were nice bringing in sweet and spicy notes. Bacon was crispy and greaseless. Roasted piquilla peppers were cut thin, melting soft and really juicy and sweet. Refreshing! Potatoes were reasonable in taste, crispy and fluffy inside and a fried egg and bread is always welcomed on any dish for me. Omelette of Serrano ham and arzúa cheese This was nice and simple. Cooked firm yet still remaining its moisture and bounce. Lovely chunks of ham to give flavour and enough cheese for that creamy comforting feel. Served with toasted bread Churros + chocolate Pretty good if you ask me. It was nice and crispy yet doughy as you chew on it. They were very satisfying just on its own, sprinkled with powered sugar and of course if you like a little more indulgence than you can always dip it in the rich thick milky chocolate dip. Delicious. For a chain that expanded a lot since the last few years I am very impressed at how the quality of food is still consistently good. Pricing is also very reasonable and affordable, especially for breakfast. Much more variety than the usual cafes and breakfast places in King's Cross which makes it refreshing and exciting. Staff were friendly and smiley which contributed a lot to the relaxing airy atmosphere. We could have stayed here all day but sadly we had other plans. read more

I brought my parents here and it exceeded my expectations. I felt like being back in Spain... the tapas were that good. It's quite expensive but the quality of each dish was incredible... they have a good range of choices and it was difficult to stop ordering. Do try everything! The waiters are really nice but the service can be slow so don't eat too quickly, since the portions are small. The place can be hard to find because it's hidden inside a small alleyway so do check google street view first. read more

Camino - Bars Near Me - London, XGL

I went here for the first time yesterday after reading a review of the place in a February edition of London Lite recommending the breakfast and coffee. Set back away from the hustle and bustle of King's Cross, this place is enormous and perfect for after work drinks. The venue itself is divided into a restaurant and several more casual areas with tables, stools, bars and sofas, as well as free wifi. House red decent, as was the draught Cruzcampo beer, served in frozen glasses. Not bad for February (when it was snowing), even better in July where they appear to have the use of a decent-sized open air area. Also of interest was the 'Cafe Bonbom, an expresso coffee with very sweet and syrupy cream - I like sweet things, so this was perfect for me, although perhaps not to everyone's taste. Before leaving, I also sampled some of the tapas: the acorn fed, Iberian ham was excellent (and described in the menu as the world's best), the spinach croquettes were very good and an onion-style bruchetta was delicious, but probably not a good idea before a first date! Before I left at about 6pm, the place had really livened up and was heaving with after work types. I can see why as it had a really nice atmosphere and ticked lots of boxes: food, tick. Drinks, tick. Atmosphere, tick. According to several sources, the breakfasts (which go on until 4pm at the weekend) are an absolute must, so that'll be next on my list. Come here and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

Came here for a work lunch, and thank goodness, because tapas can really drain your wallet. It was not too crowded for a Friday - we probably didn't need our reservation. I was pleasantly surprised by all the vegetarian options. Loved the cheese platter, but it's quite small. We definitely needed 2 for a group of 6. The arzua ulloa was really good, although not what I expected - I was imagining stringy cheese like in a mozzarella stick, but it's an airy, crisp experience. At the waitress' suggestion, we got the spinach salad - I think you can skip it. Overall I enjoyed it, but the price was a little high for many return visits. read more

Nice food. Friendly service. Odd table location choice. I met a friend here for lunch and had to follow my nose a bit - it is a little hidden away in a courtyard. My friend was already at the table, and out of a sea of many many empty tables, the host had placed us in between the only two occupied tables in the place. I found this a little odd, but didn't (unusually) make a fuss! I was facing the kitchen and it was quite interesting to see all the preparation and goings on there anyway. Plus the couple to the right of us were clearly having a very quiet row and that was quite entertaining! We ordered a few things to share, thinking that we would see how we went and then order some more. We actually didn't end up ordering any more as the plates are fairly generous portions and, well it was only lunchtime! We ordered a mixed cheese plate, ham croquettes, chorizo, a special salad with cheese and pears and patatas bravas. Everything was delicious - but the salad blew me away. I rather hogged that plate and bargained the chorizo and potatoes for it! It never really got very busy - so I'm not sure what the policy of cramming everyone into one corner was about, perhaps the waiter preferred not to walk so far...? It was a good overall experience though. I understand that Camino also has restaurants in Blackfriars and Monument, which I shall certainly be trying at some point soon. read more

When it was suggested we head to a Spanish bar/tapas place in Kings Cross, I wasn't filled with much hope. I wash half expecting a dingy La Tasca rip-off. The Kings Cross area isn't famed for its bar and restaurant options. But how wrong was I. If I wasn't led here, I might have struggled to find it, but I'm glad I did. Stripped flooring, lots of seating and some innovative décor and artwork - and of course the Iberian tilt to their drinks selection. Colour me impressed. The food is, if you're after bar snacks and light meals, realty really good. We sampled the mixed platter with some extra chorizo. Highly recommended. Not sure I'd trek here especially, but next time I find myself in the area in need of a bar, this will be where I come. read more

Now anyone who dines with me will know that as soon, and I mean as soon as your food arrives my fork/spoon/chopsticks/shovel will be in it before you even have a chance to dig in yourself. Because of this I a.) have very select friends I eat with and b.)love sharing food places like Tapas joints. What's yours in mine and what's mine is my own if you didn't know already! Now Camino is a little bit of a glorified La Tasca but the food is less greasy, the service friendlier, if a little too friendly and their sangria strong. All winning points I'll add! So yes the waitress was slow and they did sit our large group on 2 tables because apparently if you have more than 8 at a table you MUST have their set menu which will cost your granny. Actually, at this point in the review I removed a star from 4 to 5. My granny is worth a star! So yes, come here eat, share food, get the prawns they are lovely, as is the squid ink risotto, and you are sure to have a lovely evening out. read more

I had lunch here today with a client. First the location: it's sort of inside a courtyard in a complex of renovated warehouses. It's quite hard to find from the outside but it's only a few minutes from Kings Cross station and it's quite a trendy media-ish sort of area near there. Wolff Olins is just up the road, for example. The place is in two barely-connected parts. One is a bar and it is obviously pretty lively in the evening. There's a DJ booth and a big, long bar. The other area is more restaurant-y and, at lunchtime anyway, quiet. There's a pleasant outdoor courtyard in the summer. The food was good. We had a set menu that wasn't tapas but Spanish food. In my case, a lovely vegetable soup and a potato/artichoke salad thing then an almond tart and coffee. The whole thing, including water, two coffees and two set three-course meals was around £45 which isn't bad. The service was quick but the place was fairly quiet. I've been here before and found the tapas a bit hit and miss. Sometimes very tasty and generous. Othertimes, tepid and meanly portioned. The coffees were particularly good. read more

Hands down the best meal I have had in London so far. In a city full of so-so tapas, I have finally found a place that rivals my favourite restaurant in Chicago with service to match to boot. I have been here quite a few times for drinks. The wine menu is extensive and the bar area is usually hopping. We recently tried for dinner and I know it will be a place I frequently return with friends and family. The menu is quite extensive and much more sophisticated and adventurous than other so called "tapas" places here in London (I'm looking at you La Tasca). I highly recommend the lamp cutlets, the spinach croquettes, the goat cheese and pepper bread and garlic tiger prawns!! Add a pitcher or two of their potent sangria and a bowl of their complementary olives and get ready for one of you the best meals in London! read more

We were happy to be able to get a table at 9:15 on a Saturday night and the food was really good. Great fresh bread, good croquetas and jamones and I loved the asparagus. We really enjoyed our tapas. I didn't get the full lay of the land as we were on the restaurant side--looks like there is a big bar scene which was rockin' with Latin American music and they now have a sherry bar too. read more

I have to agree with Linzi on the gastro-pub thing. Large, airy restaurant and bar areas, but I think tapas suits a more intimate, grungy setting. I would have liked to see more fresh dips, garnishes and sauces to cut through the richness of the fried food. Scrumptious sangria! read more

This place is a bitch to find. It confounded my GPS, not that that would be hard, piece of crap that it is, and had me walking up and down Kings Cross, just like the old days, eh boys? Camino has the sorry fate of looking exactly like a gastro-pub. Sitting here, you are not going to be fooled into thinking you are in the Costa Del Sol. But who wants to be in a grotty package holiday hellhole anyway, if Kings Cross isn't the perfect location for tapas and sangria, then I don't know where is. Camino has a restaurant and a bar area, where if you are looking to chat up a city twat or two over a glass of wine, you are in the right place. Like I said, the restaurant ambience is unremarkable, except for the huge domed ceiling... it was totally a gastro-pub in earlier days. Huge menu with loads of authentic sounding tapas dishes, fish and meats. We ordered a variety of tapas to share, meh.. they were okay, nothing blew me away. I felt the vegetarian platter could have been more adventurous and the meat platter seemed low on actual meat and used chillis as a big filler portion. Carnivores will not get their kicks off ordering this, believe me, I could have eaten it and I'm a vegetarian. The dessert was good, almond tart with warmed cream. Their sangria is gooood. Would I go back? Yes but only if I ordered my own main course. read more

If you just got off the Eurostar and are craving a good lunch or dinner, Camino is the perfect place to enjoy delicious tapas ! The place is spacious and the waiters are friendly. It is best not to be in a rush though. The menu offers a large selection of tapas. We had the spicy patatas bravas, chorizo, tortilla, Iberic ham, arroz negro - rice with squid ink - and empanadillas filled with spinach and goat cheese. Everything was delicious and you can order as many different tapas as you like. It might be worth coming back at night to have a few drinks and enjoy the live music. read more

No stars for caminos as I'm forced to put 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!! This place was so bad I don't know where to start. Was here for my nieces birthday and she had booked a table for 20 people (good buisness ay) Apparently there was supposed to be a set menu of tapas at £28 per head. you would expect to eat RIGHT. There was bread not a lot ,but BREAD and some chorizo plates!! about 6 plates with four bits on each plate between 20 AND defo the frozen kind.Then came the four plates of olives woop woop Followed by some pork that wasn't cooked properly and enough to feed a cat ( I'm not joking)) 6 plates to share once again. Then desert :) Almond tart with a squirt anchors cream on the top .So embarrassing! Who does this with Spanish food . Who's idea of tapas is this .He cannot be Spanish that's for sure. IM NOT FINISHED My niece who did call the manager to have a word replies with we were busy in the kitchen today and forgot we were coming lol My niece booked ahead 2 weeks and as for busy in the kitchen , there wasn't any FOOD LOL busy with what . He then gave her £5 discount yes people £5. Not to mention all the homeless people banging on the Windows watching us eat and giving us the bird . I felt like I was in a zombie movie . Stay well clear to avoid disappointment. read more

Let me just start out by saying the drunken banana bread is the BEST desert i've ever had and you may need to come here just for that. But overall, really great tapas restaurant! My dad and I got 5 or 6 things to share and it really was delicious! Nice waiters and I would definitely come back and recommend it if you like spanish food! read more

We came here for a friend's leaving do as it's a bar/restaurant so it was a perfect environment to get all close friends for dinner and then the rest to join us at the bar for drinks! I didn't know this place exists unless it's been recommended or you work/live around the area. It was tucked into a new build so it's not that noticeable on the high street. On arrival on a Sat night, it was very quiet & empty. But I trust my friend that she wouldn't choose a dead restaurant. As the night went on, it got a bit busier. Pretty happy that we weren't the only diners. However the bar seems to be more busy than the restaurant. Our waiter was very attentive, or maybe a bit too much. Although I can't complain much as he was very friendly and tried to make some jokes. I've had Spanish food at various restaurants and this restaurant seems to be ok. As there were a number of us, we had to go for the set menu. A reasonable price for a good variety of choices. Some dishes are better than others but one thing we all agreed on was the dessert. It was a mixture of a variety of cakes/ice cream etc and some melted and none of them taste good. I had a look at their menu recently and I don't think they are serving the same deserts as what we had. I would recommend people to go to Camino but you don't need to sweat yourself to rush to have a meal there. There are other plenty of great Spanish restaurant! read more

Simple Spanish classics done well and served quickly. I was there for the lunch menu today and for £9.95 you can have two dishes and the portions sizes are just right for the time of day. They have Estrella on tap, a range of wines and ample outdoor seating in their courtyard area. I think to fully appreciate the menu you'll need to visit in the evening but you can't baulk at a nice meal for a nice price, especially in an area usually synonymous with kebabs and fried chicken. read more

I've been going to Camino for a number of years now and it's good both as a restaurant and as a bar. Most recently we were here for a drink and shared a bottle of wine, a very drinkable red at a good price, the place was busy but we managed to get a couch and catch up. The place is well designed so that the restaurant and bar remain separate from one another so that it doesn't become a conflict between those dining and those drinking. The bar extends quite far into the building so finding space isn't normally an issue, the outdoor area and the table football add the area. On the restaurant side, although maybe a little pricy, the tapas and larger courses are brilliant, share a platter as you won't be disappointed! read more

The-food-is-great ! I came across Camino with some friends visiting us in London because they were staying nearby and I can't wait to go back to try more dishes. We all had the lunch tapas formula. It was cheap and portions were satisfying. And most importantly, it tasted very good. I don't know about the prices of the other dishes, but we were on the run and this formula was convenient both for price and efficiency. We were almost the only ones in the restaurant because we showed up at the end of the service. We were served fast as required and with pleasantness. The place looks nice, and I could spot their bar, in the next room. It is situated in a little cul-de-sac where you'll find other bars. I was told that at night it's like a big party, all the customers from Camino's bar and the other 2 mingling in the hidden patio. read more

The last time I had been there was to get a beer with a bunch of friends in the evening and all I remember was being jostled and shoved aside by patrons and waiters. I didn't really bother rating it then. Went back there again for Sunday brunch, reluctantly and not given a choice, and loved it! Not sure why I'm giving it three stars (I'm a tough marker), but i think I was expecting a lot less given it's location. I mean, can you blame me? We were 5 adults and a 3 mo old. There were two other occupied tables and the place was eerily quiet for being next to Kings Cross. My friend who was visiting from New York said that "churros" taste like french fries. OK, so he had never had churros, but why would say that? I'm going to count that as a negative from a patron. The food was all good, but no points for creativity on the mixed and vegetarian platters (maybe I need to go back and try some of the real food, since we couldn't order many because there were two vegetarians on the table). Service was OK. It's London, and on top of that, Kings Cross. Don't expect a red carpet. Overall, good pick if you HAVE to dine at Kings Cross. read more

The place is ok, the staff is very nice and helpful and the food is tasty. But... I think it is a little bit overpriced. We all know that a tapa size it is not massive, but I found them very small here. Try the croquetas, they taste like croquetas at home (=Spain) and the boquerones (if you like anchovies), and for a lovely treat... tarta de Santiago! (an almond tart they bring from Galicia, Spain). And again, at least the day I had lunch there, the waiters were so nice! read more

20 minutes for a cold tortilla de patatas which was cold and flavourless: place was empty. Cafe con leche was lukewarm and tiny. Then they tried to charge 12% service for worst service I've had in London. Under no circumstances should you visit this faux-Spanish tacky place. Only nice thing about this place was the maitre dee's dmile. read more

Well peeps, do I have to tell you that they have the meat on this island? If so, then go for the Solomiller 5oz fillet steak with cabrales cream sauce and roasted winter vegetables. The meat is from Spain, more precise Basque county. It is called Sagatoki. As a starter I had the bread with tomatoes... Sounds simple, but isn't. I ordered the meat medium well, the you can skip the sauce, because the meat overwhelmes (did i just make up this word?)everything! It s grilled on (of course) a special Spanish grill. And it's well worth the investment. The atmosphere was great, the bartender and the waiters were very nice (like in Spain). So an overall 5* experience. Hat a treat in the middle of all the chain restaurants. Every time again read more

I came here to meet a friend for brunch after 20 days of traveling to Spain, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. Camino was the perfect place to catch up and enjoy a light and delicious meal. First, the environment of the restaurant was great. The windows on the roof lets in a lot of light and transforms the gloomy King's Cross area into a fresh and clean space. Also, the service was friendly and relatively quick. For our meal, we ordered chorizo, fried eggs over potato and a large bruschette with roasted red peppers and eggplant. The chorizo was surprisingly tasty and authentic, especially since I had just returned from Spain. The two other dishes were cooked along the same vein, with bright and fresh flavors. Overall, I loved that the meal was hearty but didn't weight me down for the rest of the day. read more

Great tapas and breakfasts. Caminos is packed so if you want to book for dinner, do it in advanced or else you and your party will have to wait over an hour. I recommend any of the assorted platters. We ordered the one with bruschetta, calamari, chorizo, shrimp, deep fried cheese in batter (a lot lighter version than the one they serve in the U.S.) and roasted chilis. My favorite tapas is the roasted chilis (so simple, yet so good). The potatoes with a red bell pepper sauce was delicious, but wasn't included with the platter). I wasn't impressed with the lamb skewers, even though I am a big fan of lamb. Will upload a photo. read more

Overpriced, under seasoned and underwhelming. While the atmosphere of this place is relatively nice, not one bit of the tapas or drinks that I ordered were good. Bland bloody mary with barely any alcohol in it, overly dressed salad, and freezer-flavor reminiscent garlic bread. This meal was incredibly unmemorable, the only memorable part was when the bill came and it said 15 quid for what I ordered. read more

I dare you, DARE you, to find another DJ who accompanies the music he's spinning by busting a live jazz flute solo. Yes, the DJ was playing A FLUTE behind his decks into a microphone. A FLUTE. The music in the bar area was unbearably loud, but that flute playing maverick just made it at least entertaining. Don't expect to have a quiet, civilised, after-work chat in this bar - it is constantly rammed with people yelling rather than talking. Still, we managed to find three stools and perched ourselves at one of the high-top tables for a bottle of Spanish white wine (surprisingly decent) and some tapas. We all shared the vegetariano platter, along with some gambas al ajillo and an order of "olla gitana" -- a glorious ceramic pot with enough butternut squash and chickpea stew for two. The flavours in that last dash were outstanding (after the initial wait to avoid burning off our tongues -- it came to us absolutely boiling). A strong taste of smoked paprika adds to the subtlety of the ingredients. Loved it. If the food wasn't so nice, I'd hate this place. Not comfortable, too noisy, etc etc. But I seriously enjoyed my brief evening here last night. Can't wait for the next jazz flute sesh. read more

This place is about as Spanish as Trafalgar Square. Not bad, but not Spanish. I didn't eat here but if the food is as Spanish as the draught beers, one Dutch, one Portugese, then it will be as authentic as a $10 Rolex. But enough of the Iberophilic stuff, it's a big modern bar with a big modern customer base. Nothing offensive, nothing particularly appealing, it could be an All Bar One. read more
