Truly representative of the tectonic changes that are driving the metamorphosis of London’s Kings Cross is Camino Bar – that is if you can find it! Nicely off the beaten track is probably more generous and that ensures that only those who know it’s there actually visit – and that’s more than enough.
Walking through the alleyway into the Courtyard is the equivalent of a metaphorical shower as you leave the grime behind and enter an aesthetically pleasing, deliciously clean and funky authentic Spanish culinary & cultural experience. The secluded courtyard neatly divides the bar and restaurant and in both authenticity is the name of the game. Knowledgeable bar staff help you out with your choices from excellent Spanish wine to draught Cruzcampo served in iced glasses and artisan chefs deliver true classic Spanish cooking from the parilla (charcoal grill) whether it be red mullet, jamon iberico or steak. It’s hard to fault this place, with its gregarious atmosphere and exciting vibrant fare and all a stone’s throw from the gateway to the continent that has done much to drive the huge regeneration that is happening to the area.
my only complaint is that in the area, this is the ONLY venue that has spark, atmosphere and great wine... more places like this please! esp for those occasions i'm waiting for the train!
