"the best sangria is here. here in king’s cross, london town. at camino. camino means away or away in Spanish and it is one that I certainly want to take again. the sangria was silky smooth with a caramel/vanilla (I could not decide which) aroma. in any case the best tasting sangria I had ever had. the secret, because I asked, is liquor 43, a Spanish golden lacquer, which has 43 crumbles, spices and fruits. next to red wine (obvs,) whitley neill gin, orange juice, zimt and limonade. how often do I have to try to get home before I get it right! but we didn't just come for the sangria. that was an additional joy. gin and tonics are also a speciality, served the Spanish away with a lot of ice and perfectly matched garnish. I had the gin mare that was infused with botanic like zitrus, thymian, rosmarin and basilikum. the chase sevilla orange was tantaslising, with orange, waxy and oldest. but eat it. here at camino it is excellent. Tapas dishes, but without faff or imagination. yet elegant and more than edible. for six of us (including a vegetarian and a gluten-free) we ordered 14 dishes and it was just enough. I could have eaten, of course, but it was just enough. for dessert (and more sangria.) the best dish of the general consens was the Aroz-Negro, a black rice with tinten fish and tinten fish, with a creamy alioli dolloped. the special was recommended by our waiter with gusto, ripen with caramelized earlylings onions, and many other things we have the last. the only court that was not overheard were the Piquillo pfeffer with black quinoa. there we were, trying to be trendy and healthy, at the same time no, quinoa will never do it for me, and it ruins a perfectly beautiful pfeffer. dessert. churros natural! long doughnut sticks with a melted chocolate dip. real spanies in your mouth. I had only one taste of the mandeltee, apparently it was quite tart, but the creamy custard was sweet and light. tocino de cielo, for my gluten-free friend, was literally, heavenly custard. tee was served with a multi-egg timer so that they can measure the desired strength. we all want to buy one of them for our own houses now. to add the ambiente of the Spanish ness, the people sitting on the bar grain, drinking glasses of vino tinto and order tapas dishes seemingly how they feel like it. large legs of iberico jamon sitting on the table plates, cut as we saw. Latin and jazz plays in the background while all around us relax and drink cerveza, cava and carafes of vino. directly over the hof in varnisher's yard is bar pepito, london's first sherry bar also tapas, and managed by the same company. imagine sunny afternoons, drinking the sangria in the plaza. are they here in Spain in london. I encanta."
