EAT IN LONDON | Affordable Spanish🇪🇸 Cuisin

A Hidden Gem of Affordable Spanish🇪🇸 Cuisine in London If you're looking for some delectable Spanish cuisine around London, then look no further than @caminolondon - a true hidden gem. The dishes here are not only incredibly tasty but also come at a great value for money！ What we ordered? 🌝Arroz Negro （Spanish Squid🦑 Ink Rice）£6 The menu is in Spanish, but you can simply ask the waiter for 'black rice'. It's not served in a large pot, but in a small portion that is enough for one person. The texture is just right, and the taste is not bad. I would recommend it. 🌝Gambas Garlic Prawns🦐 £11.5 This dish suits my taste better than the ones I've had in Spain. The prawn tails are crispy and very enjoyable to eat. The prawns are not too greasy, and the saltiness is just right. 🌜Sauteed Octopus 🐙 £16.5 The octopus is pre-cut, and it's not tough at all. The taste is just right. 🌕lberico Pork🐖 £27 This dish is incredibly delicious!😍The meat is very tender! You have to order at least 150g, which is just enough for two people. We ordered it medium, and it was not bloody at all. The sauce is also very tasty, sweet with a hint of lemon, and the potato slices that come with it are crispy. You must order this dish! 🌗the dessert options were a bit too sweet for our liking, we suggest saving some money and skipping them altogether. The king’s cross branch offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with the latter being just perfect for London's current weather. While we would recommend making a reservation before visiting, we're not sure if it's always necessary. Overall, the Spanish cuisine here is definitely worth your time and money, with our bill coming to an average of £40 per person, including drinks and desserts！ 📍Camino (King’s Cross’s Branch ) address : The Yard, Varnishers, 3 Regent Quarter, London N1 9FD, United Kingdom 💷Price Range 4/5 👅Yum Range 4/5 #londontrip #londonfood
