Caravan

Caravan (kings cross) 

King's Cross has become quite the food destination lately, with trendy Gastro pubs, ice cream/dessert parlours and cute little stalls serving amazing street food. 

Amongst all of this, you'll find the second branch of the antipodean run restaurant Caravan. 

The restaurant has a cool, trendy feel with low lighting, exposed bricks and an open kitchen which is visible behind a metal grate. The vibe is chilled and relaxed but buzzy as the chatter of fellow happy diners fills the room. 

The menu is made up of many international dishes described as 'well traveled food', designed to be shared. We went for a few 'small plates' of ; smoked Scottish salmon with avocado and chilli, coconut lime chicken salad, chick pea chips and braised Welsh lamb sofrito with butter beans, almonds and salsa verde. All were cooked to perfection and more than enough for three people to share. 

However, if you are not in a very sharing mood (the food is so good you probably won't want to share lol) then perhaps go for a pizza or a 'large plate', we recommend the potato gnocchi with wild mushroom, Jerusalem artichoke cream and kale. 

Caravan also offer pudding, a selection of English cheese, smooth coffees and hand crafted cocktails, so there is something for everyone. If you find yourself there on a weekend, why not try something from the brunch menu, we're obsessed with the coconut bread with lemon curd cream cheese and rhubarb. 

This restaurant is perfect for a bite to eat anytime of the day, the modern decor and adventurous menu makes is a great place to catch up with friends.
