    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!

    Amontillado!

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    Huevos rotos
    Nickie C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Came here for pre-theater anniversary dinner with my wife. The ambiance was somewhere between that of a trendy club and nice bar. There was a mad scientist vibe with the lights being industrial vibe and some metal decor. The music was thumpy and loud enough to remind you it was there. It made me feel a bit out-of-place as somebody well past my 20s, but also a bit cool or being there. You really come here for the drinks. We got the pipe dream, smokey old fashioned, honeypot picante, and one other I can't remember the name of, but which came in a flower pot. The pipe dream and smokey old fashioned were likely the best. Overall the drinks were more visually appealing than traditionally good and the visually appealing ones tended to have ingredients that weren't as top shelf and/or they were just too sweet. Not bad, but disappointing for what we'd hope. The food was the opposite. I had low expectations and the food wasn't amazing, but was better than average. We got the bao buns, crispy duck pancakes, panko halloumi, katsu curry, and hot honey pork tacos. They arranged for it all to come out in time for us to make our theater show, which was nice. The bao buns and pork tacos were probably the best. Neither blew me away, but both were solid. The katsu curry and halloumi were standard of what you might expect. The crispy duck pancakes was maybe as advertised, but it would have been nice to have some moistness or substance to the dug vs. it basically being crunchy salty bits of something. Overall, this wasn't a bad meal, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for either. We may be back, but we'll probably try other things first.

Oddly, to open a tab, you have to give them both your credit/debit card AND your driver's license/passport/ID card. They give you a "badge" which you then show every time you order, apparently so they know which tab to bill it to. A bit weird to me, but maybe that's the norm in London, or at least in high-tourist bars in London. Also, they won't let men inside if you are wearing a hat-- you must remove the hat to enter. Fortunately, once inside, I put my hat back on and didn't have a problem with anyone saying anything. Glad my hat hair didn't have to be on display!
