Above expectations
I went to Camino last night after stumbling upon it whilst looking for a place to have cocktails. The sound of the lively bar and Spanish music was what drew my attention at first, but the look of the impressive glass-domed restaurant next door was what enticed me to stay.
We ordered house red wine at £12 a bottle, and I was pleasantly surprised by the price and the quality. I began, from that moment, to feel a bit like I was on holiday. Always a good sign.
The menu was surprisingly concise, but spoke of a confidence in their dishes; what they did do, they did very well. My boyfriend and I had the pan con tomate, a tasty Spanish-style bruschetta, and then decided to go for what seemed to be the menu's flagship item- the huge Charolais rib-eye steak, aged and hung for 25-30 days; enough for 2 people. With a hearty side order of pimentón-sprinkled patatas a lo pobre con huevos, we were more than satisfied. We left with a bill of £30 each including 12.5% tip, which we felt was justified by the friendly service we had received, and the feeling of heading tipsily back to the real world from a little gastronomic tour of Spain. Highly recommended.
