Camino was born with the opening of King’s Cross in 2007. Capturing the real essence of Spain was always the aim, and with the addition of Bar Rioja opening opposite ( this was previously Bar Pepito, London’s very first sherry bar) we came a King’s Cross institution. Our lively bar and restaurant sprawls around a hidden courtyard, coming alive in the Summer, full of people enjoying a frosted mug of Spanish cerveza, a glass of sangria or a Rioja Glass from Bar Rioja. With outdoor heaters and plenty of seating, it’s often busy on even the coldest of evenings.We’re open everyday for lunch, dinner and everything in between. Join us for our Spanish breakfast during the week, or our popular Happy Hour at the weekend. The bar at Camino is always buzzing, with DJs on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays playing the best Latin, house and party sounds until late. Always free entry!

We had a great evening at Lobos. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We would have liked to have stayed bit longer but our table was needed - understandable as it was a busy evening before Christmas . We'll definitely be back!

Food and wine was fantastic. Great ambience. Only 2 things. Our table was very small so we couldn’t order too many tapas dishes and secondly some of the guests were very loud in voice. At some point we couldn’t hear ourselves speaking to one another. Other than that the Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable with the food & wine available. Cant wait to go back again! ☺️
