Camino Shoreditch

Shoreditch - Camino

Shoreditch is the newest member of the Camino family.

Inspired by the Castile y León region of Northern Spain, the restaurant and bar is vibrant yet relaxed, with a beautiful heated terrace for outdoor drinking and dining all year round.

This location is particularly special to us, as it was in Shoreditch that our first ever bar Cantaloupe, opened back in 1995.

The neighbourhood sparked the DNA that then lived on in all of the restaurants and bars we’ve opened since, and we’re delighted to have returned home again after all these years.

Camino Shoreditch review - Sharking for Chips and Drinks

Having opened its fifth branch in Shoreditch toward the end of last year, it’s an understatement to say that Camino is doing something right.

Famed across this city for its relaxed Spanish atmosphere and authentic take on the nations cuisine, Camino’s menu, in true Spanish style, consists of a range of nibbles/tapas, divided up into cheese, charcuterie, fish and meat plates to share.

Diners can team their Spanish wine or sangria with classics such as Jamon Serrano, Arroz Negro or Ibérico Meatballs.

With its house smokey tomato sauce and garlic aioli, Camino certainly does it well in London.

The latest addition to the Camino family is another one that ticks all the boxes.

Camino Shoreditch: Tapas chain sets up in Principal Place | Eating ...

Nearly a decade after plans for Principal Place were mooted, some of the massive development between Norton Folgate, Curtain Road and Worship Street has finally been built – and tapas restaurant Camino is one of the first businesses to open there.

With a 50-storey skyscraper still to come, you can already find Camino around the back of Shoreditch High Street off Curtain Road.

It’s the fifth London site opened by Hispanophile Richard Bigg who launched the original Camino in Kings Cross a decade ago.

While it’s a chain there are some choices dreamed up by head chef Nacho del Campo exclusively for the menu.

The Ibérico pork ribs marinated in Moscatel sounded tempting – and they are obviously popular because they were sold out when my friend and I paid a visit.

Camino has expanded its fun Spanish tapas to Shoreditch.

With locations in Kings Cross, Monument, Bankside and Blackfriars, the restaurant bar has brought its Northern Spanish influence to one of its biggest venues yet.

Featuring an 80 cover restaurant, a large tapas bar area and an outside terrace – which is warmed in the colder months – there is plenty of space to get in on the Spanish action.

Much like its other iterations, the venue serves up an extensive tapas menu, featuring everything from home-cut jamon and Spanish cheese to seafood offerings like baby calamari and octopus, with a few site-specific dishes.

Camino heads to Shoreditch for Spanish tapas and more | Latest ...

Summing it all up: This will be the fourth restaurant and tapas bar from Camino.

Spanish bar and restaurant Camino has been slowly expanding across London, starting at King's Cross and reaching out to Monument, Bankside and Blackfriars.

There will be room for 80 in the restaurant, 75 in the tapas bar and a further 40 on the outside terrace - which will be heated during cold spots, so you'll be able to stay out there all year long.

Food-wise, expect similar fare to the other caminos, but there will be new tapas on the list too - we'll have more details of that closer to the opening.

As Camino's owner Richard big said "Shoreditch was a very different neighbourhood, completely unknown to the rest of London, and all my friends thought I was mad.

We Review Camino Shoreditch

Hispanophile Richard Bigg has opened his fifth London Camino, bringing the group’s relaxed Spanish atmosphere and authentic tapas to Shoreditch, where they opened their first bar 22 years ago.

On the Menu: In true Spanish style, the menu offers a plethora of nibbles and meat, cheese and seafood plates to share.

Alongside generous glasses of Spanish wine, diners can load up their plates with the likes of croquetas de jamón (serrano ham croquettes) and the quintessential tortilla de patatas (an egg and potato combination found atop every bar in Spain).

But leave room for seafood, because even if you claim you’re not a fan, Camino’s nautical niceties (such as sea trout cured with tequila, apple, grapefruit and olive oil, and grilled red prawns with Basque piperrada and saffron aioli) may well change your mind… The Look: With three spaces to choose from, Camino Shoreditch features a heated outdoor terrace as well as a tapas bar and a restaurant, separated by a screen made of vintage doors.

Lemon and rosemary manzanilla olives and a bread selection with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar were the background to an indulgent, slightly runny tortilla, as well as a charcutería board featuring jamón serrano, jamón cebo and embutidos (sliced cured sausages) and a plate of manchego, with a sweet quince jelly that paired perfectly with the punchy meats and creamy cheese.

A new branch of the all-day Spanish tapas restaurant.

The City toilers of Liverpool Street will doubtless be delighted by the heated outdoor terrace, serving typical Spanish tipples like cava  – bottomless on Saturdays – and less typical ones like (delicious) vermouth by the glass.

The tapas menu is gigantic, so choosing just four plates per person was a task.

Pork shoulder was tender, cooked well and served with sweet potato mash but not particularly flavoursome.

Dumbing down the main menu to a few great plates and expanding the bar offering to cater for the boozers would likely work in Camino’s favour.
