Camino

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!

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.

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!

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

Camino is a traditional Spanish restaurant and bar.
We ordered nine tapas. The food is quite good.
Nice place for chat with friends and groups.

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
