Amazing food, cocktails and the coffee exquisite - on top of that the person who served us was friendly, helpful, responsive and on the ball. Really hope to return again - the small mackerel dish was divine - the chocolate dessert to die for mmmmm.
We dined here on sat night with some friends. The food was phenomenal! With a table of 6 we each choose a few small plates and a couple of pizzas. Wow wee was it good. Love the combinations and the freshness of all the dishes. It is also my go to place for coffee. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Will be back.
Wow! What a cool place. The coffee was beautiful and the food was delicious, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Also the prices were very reasonable so I will definitely be going back.
Amazing Breakfast! Overnight Oats were fab, great consistency, Scone freshly baked and crumbly, coffee so good no sugar was required �� also great service from the staff �����
First visit to this lovely place. Food and service amazing. Our waiter Matthew went out of his way to explain menu and the food he recommended was very very tasty. Thank you Matthew a credit to this establishment.
Absolutely loved Caravan! Excellent menu and the lamb meatballs were delightful. Very cool place.
Delicious first visit to Caravan, Kings Cross today. Loved the food, relaxed ambiance and friendly staff �
Delicious food lovely flavours. Andy was our lovely and helpful waiter.
Really nice atmosphere and loved the food and they have amazing smoothies and fresh juices!!! ��
Great food. Great service. Nice ambiance. Visiting from Toronto. Would definitely return.
Best coffee and coffee. 200 % custom satisfaction.
Perfect spot for breakfast , but get here on time as it fills up quick as it is so popular
Surprising mix of these two cultures, the meals are delicate, and particularly tasty, I'll come again as soon as possible.
What really stands out is the service. Food arrived quickly despite being reasonably busy.
Excellent place with a very good ambience, decor and atmosphere where one can have the most filling platters with the freshest ingredients at reasonable prices and prompt and punctual service.
We went as a group of 5 from the USA. We had a fantastic time as the hosts and people that we met were marvelous! We did so much in London in 1 week, and this was the highlight of our awesome trip! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
This is the best brunch place I have been to in London so far. The food menu has variety of options and they have vegan and gluten free options as well. The coffee is great and any non- coffee person is also surely gonna fall for it. I would advise to sit outside if the weather is good.
Amazing place in London. I love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. Congratulations to the staff.
Caravan is awesome place for pizzas and pudding. They have vast options in their all day menu as well as the brunch menu. Surely going to visit this place again.
I love their breakfast menu and their puddings. It is a nice cosy place with really good food.
It was recommended by one of my very good friend and after that day, i have been visiting this place again and again
I came here for the pastries and boy caravan delivered. My favourite was the green looking custard which in pandan flavoured. It was full of flavour and the strawberry inside gave a refreshing balance. We also ordered a few dishes to share for brunch which was sweet potato hash and aubergine dip with egg and lamb meatballs. Overall they tasted amazing but the sweet potato were cubed and not hashed which i was slightly disappointed at, but it was packed with a lot of flavours. The aubergine dip needed some flavours as it was very bland and i ate this before eating anything else so my tastebuds were definitely cleansed
I thought it was somewhere temporary. At least that’s what I thought a caravan was supposed to be. In the dictionary, it is defined as a vehicle towed by a car, used for holidays. . Allusions to a transient nature aside, I enjoyed parking myself in its rather permanent (and industrial) establishment.
Following s friend's suggestion, we went to Granary's Square to enjoy the outstanding weather and visit Caravan. We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside. I had the jalapeno cornbread (very unique), with avocado smash, and incredible merguez sausage and a fried egg on top, with spring onion. Very good, great stuff. The wife had a quite standard - and a tad bland -, scrambled eggs and salmon on toast. The dish is good, doesn't attempt to reinvent the wheel, buy it's not exciting. So my suggestion is: visit caravan, stay outside (MANDATORY if the weather is good) and try the more unique dishes and brunch options they have available.
Been here once mainly to try their brunch/breakfast menu. I’ve heard good things about the coffee. I ordered a flat white, and it was decent. The milk was steamed just right, consistency was good however, the espresso has a burnt aftertaste. The food was great. Ordered the corned beef benedict and it was nice. The potatoes on the bottom really compliment the eggs and the corned beef. Decor and place is very comfortable, and very clean. The toilet’s hand-soap is equipped with Aesop brand hand soaps. Would recommend, great place for brunch.
The new King's Cross developments are coming quickly with the next giant opening in autumn this year. For the moment Dishoom and the nearby Caravan are holding my attention. A friend mentioned their excitement that it was there and I remember thinking what's the big deal - they didn't impress me in Spitalfields. Then I realised there is no Caravan in Spitalfields and I was actually thinking of Giraffe.
Caravan King’s Cross is located in Granary Square, just a short walk from King’s Cross station. We were there for breakfast but they do have a fantastic all day menu as well. I wanted something a little different to the usual breakfast options I go for, so I went for the coconut bread, lemon curd cream cheese and rhubarb. It was delicious and I think it may be my new default breakfast option at Caravan. It wasn’t too sweet and the lemon curd gave it a nice tangy taste which was very addictive. It was also just the perfect amount so I wasn’t bursting by the end. The other options that I have tried which I would also recommend are:
Great pizza and great coffee, that’s all you need.
It can get quite over crowded and noisy. Reservation is required for lunch. But if you’re only there for coffee, then you’re fine. It’s one of the best in the area !
Great coffee and very tasty pork belly meal. The portion was a little bit small though so if you want to be completely satisfied, make sure you have an entree or dessert item as well! Price was very decent!
The verdict: Appealing venue, basic but cosy. Food was either exceptionally good (starters) or poor (burnt, thick-based pizza) and service wasn’t great (that our group’s main courses arrived at different times, meaning we ate – in effect – in two sittings, was disappointing)...

Had lunch here in a Sunday, wer had to wait about 10 min for a table but you can wait at the bar or outside in the sun. The restaurant is a little dark and the music was too loud where we were sitting. But the food was good (I just had the oat and quinoa porridge) and my friend had the caravan fry - which looked great! And the service was very friendly. I think I will give it another try.
The place is a good place if you prefer to eat healthy yet tasty food. They also have vegan and gluten free options. Although the portions are not too filling but you can always order more dishes because it's healthy.
Excellent coffee hit on a Sunday morning with a great outdoors section of you are lucky enough to have the sunshine. Having also eaten here for dinner, the share plates and pizzas are delicious!
Continuing the Camden Brunch theme, Catherine, Laura and I met Arfan at Caravan in Granary Square Kings Cross to try it out. Laura and I walked down the canal from Camden Road – a nice walk along the canal and not far for us to go. I’ve been to Granary Square before – for KERB and also to take advantage of the soft opening of Dishoom :), but never made it into Caravan.

The food is excellent and their brunch menu has a lot of variety. However the fresh juices are not always all available.
The service is good even at busier times!
Caravan provides a lovely dining experience with tables outside overlooking Granary Square. Love the modern warehouse vibe inside- even the bathrooms were fresh! Enjoyed brunch and drinks here with a friend. I did find there was a limited variety of food options, and we both agreed the meals were...

Great menu, great outdoor seating area and if you layer on to that great company and weather... what else could you ask for?
I went to Caravan for a Sunday brunch and had a great time because of not only getting my monthly quota of vitamin D on a sunny day but also because their food was different and spot on. Most brunch places nowadays will do the box standard of eggs on toast, pancakes or yogurt bowls (which honestly I don't mind, give me eggs on toast any day and I'm a happy girl). Caravan goes the extra mile by having what I would label a "fusion" brunch menu, with some of the usual culprits like eggs, waffles and pancakes, but playing with a lot of different tastes from different international cuisines.
I had the aubergine puree with poached eggs, yogurt and za'atar and it was amazing! Besides that their coffee is top notch, just what you need to wake you up from a Saturday night of partying.
100% recommend and will be back!

I don't often give somewhere full marks but as far as Cafes go - I can't fault caravan!
This is easily the best brunch place I've been to in London so far.
Set in a huge warehouse style building that used to be an old granary, this place wows right from the start!
The coffee is incredible, I can never come here and just have 1 coffee! If you're not a coffee drinker, there are also heaps of choices, including a delicious looking cocktail menu!
I also adore the food menu, which had so many amazing options. So far I've had the coconut bread and the ham, and both had been so amazingly delicious. I want to come back and have both again, but I also want to try everything else on the menu too!
Service is timely and friendly, which can sometimes fall by the wayside considering how incredibly busy these guys always are!
Be warned - if you come after 10:30 on the weekends you will have to wait, usually around 45 mins to an hour. But the wait does go really quickly considering you can sit at the bar and order drink coffees while you wait.
I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend this place to everyone!
I went there for breakfast. The service is not very good. When we were waiting for a table (which took it about an hour) we ordered coffee and it came about 15 mins later.
The menu has changed so they don't serve pancakes anymore. But anyways great food.
The food is pretty good by London brunch standards. But it is just too busy on the weekends, usually the case if you want a decent breakfast at a trendy place where you can't book. Don't bother going after 11am, you'll need to wait at least an hour.
Caravan is an eclectic restaurant located in the recently revitalised neighbourhood of King's Cross. As you will soon notice, I've had a little food tour of restaurants in this area (reviews coming soon). This time round, I was joined by KW for an evening chow. I absolutely loved the atmosphere at Caravan. The restaurant actually used to be an old grain store evident by its large space, tall ceilings, wooden interior along with the industrial and warehouse-y vibes. To summarise the ambience, I felt like I was eating in rather a sophisticated and rustic canteen (if only schools could adopt those vibes).
Food was good but the service was bad!
We arrived after work around 6pm and were waiting for a table of 5 as we had not booked. It was almost 8pm and we still weren't seated! We weren't allowed to order snacks or food at the bar without losing out place on the waiting list for a table.
I guess this is a good sign that they were so busy, but also not great for a group of 5 starving people (2 were pregnant!)
We finally decided to forfeit out place on the waiting list, in order to get some food at the bar.
The food we had was good! Everything was fresh and tasty. Check the pics! I would recommend the fried macaroni and cheese.

Been here innumerable times and the place is an all-time brunch favourite! Never disappoints...be the food or the coffee. There is almost always a wait but it's totally worth the wait, believe me you!
The dishes are original and bursting with flavours! My favourite is the baked eggs with tomato ragu and sourdough bread!! The caravan fry up is quite good too if you are after a traditional fry up!!
Order a fresh juice or coffee while you wait and enjoy a delicious meal when your table is ready ;)

Trudging up past King’s Cross station might not imply we were on our way to a tempting brunch spot. Indeed, the walk that snaked between an ominously empty steel skyscraper and a cordoned off building site (for the new Google office, apparently) didn’t exactly invite a welcome response from my companion. Yet we were rewarded for a schlep past the station when we came across an idyllic river scene. Think barges, sprinklers and children playing (look it was last summer okay. I know it’s grey and cold and miserable outside right now. Don’t look out the window.) And there it was. CARAVAN King’s Cross is a hipster’s wet dream. Within the confines of this converted Victorian grain store’s bare-brick interiors was a multitude of servers; all tattooed, bespectacled and called Theo (probably). Not a was in hair in place nor a shirt tucked in. I like that. We came here for brunch, although they have an impressive all-day menu by the looks of things (which I will be sure to review at a later date).
Birthdays are always good to be celebrated but sometimes the organising of such an event can require some time. Hence together with a friend, we decided to plan a birthday dinner for a close friend. Originally Grain Store was suggested but as it was fully booked even though the booking was tried to be made a few weeks before the event, the next option was Caravan next door.
I was thoroughly impressed by the experience at caravan on my visit this week. The food was delicious and surprisingly generous and the service was very attentive and smooth. We went against standard protocol and ordered 3 small plates each (greedy but this was after a long gym session!) and these plates were very well portioned. No tinsy tapas here. My plates happened to be all vegetarian and they seemed enticing and i think that i chose well. The quiona, root vegetable and broccoli salad was moistened by a lovely green goddess dressing; the tofu and noodle salad was also greatly helped by a punchy asian dressing and the crunchy peanuts added necessary texture to the dish. Then finally the kohlrabi and fennel salad acted as a great palate cleanser: clean, crunchy and with a nutty and moorish hit from sprinkled walnuts. It may be a little bit pricey (about £20 a head with service) but the food is definitely worth it!
Went for a light late lunch and so the place was pretty empty which resulted in excellent service. Shared the cornbread which was fab, excellent level of heat with the jalapeño. I had the burrata, sat on a bed of tomato sauce and pine nuts. It wasn't the dreamy dish I had hoped, the tomato was a bit too strong and I've had better burrata elsewhere. The cold brew coffee was wonderful and a great interactive experience.

One might say that for a foodie I should have explored Kings Cross new restaurant scene a long time ago .Apparently it is quite a foodie destination hot spot with Grain Store, Caravan, Dishroom etc...Well I was busy eating and dining everywhere else and my only connection to Kings Cross so far has been the Eurostar terminal.So I was pleasantly surprised to find that, Caravan is not just some hipster, fashionable," try to be somewhere impossible to get to" place to eat but actually rather good.To be honest I ended up there because Grain Store was full and Caravan had seats at the communal table by the bar. I had not booked and it was packed.So the Sophisticated Lady and I ordered a few cocktails and a few dishes to share ,tapas style..I must say that our waiter was very friendly and efficient despite the full house and we never felt our "shared" table was a downgrade from the "bookable" tables. In fact it made the experience all the better: proper rustic feel in an industrial, factory like restaurant.The caramelised pork belly was melting in the mouth with crispy skin and a delicious bourbon shrimp butter. The wine cooked beef shin was good but to me was not rich enough. Black pudding and apple was disappointing as a bit rubbery. The ham rock croquettes were fantastic though: delicately spicy inside served with a mustard mayo. So good we ordered another plate. The soft shell crab was the big let down: oily and rubbery. I washed this down with a carafe of Pinot Noir from Languedoc as I was the only one having wine. This was disappointing. However I have only myself to blame as I ordered the wine.The wine list is interesting from a variety perspective and has cheap options but failed to entice me and I went for the grape rather than the producer...Ouch! For desert we shared a ROASTED PINEAPPLE, COCONUT ICECREAM, LIME & RUM SYRUP. This was very very good: perfectly syrupy pan fried pineapple with Rum and coconut icecream, coconut shreds and that refreshing lime twist cutting through the sweetness.All in all a good experience although the food was hit and miss. I still enjoyed dining there: would I go back ? Yes....if I happen to be in Kings Cross again....

Kings Cross is fast becoming one of London's premier dining destinations. Alongside Bruno Loubet's Grain Store and the always excellent Dishoom sits Caravan in Granary Square. Like the other two it's a beautiful space - large and utilising its industrial heritage to create a pretty sexy, welcoming restaurant that sits overlooking the square itself (I'd recommend al-fresco dining on a sunny day if you can swing it).
Brunch here is much-hyped but I stopped by for a weekday lunch instead. It didn't disappoint. We began with excellent coffees (jet lag needed fighting) and then moved onto food. The menu seemed Antipodean in how wide-ranging it was. Oriental-inspired dishes and ingredients sat alongside Indian and Western ones to name but a few. Split into small plates, large plates and pizzas, we stuck to a range of the former two. Crispy soft shell crab with red lentil dahl and yoghurt was excellent as was the pork belly (I only got in one bite it was gone so rapidly). A large plate of black bream with samphire was nothing special - better was a slowly cooked beef cheek dish that was rich, unctuous and fatty. Some of the lighter small plates we ordered balanced out the richer plates well: a kohlrabi salad comes to mind, as does a runner bean, feta and olive tapenade dish. The cocktail selection was also solid, although few can butcher an Aperol Spritz.
All in all, lunch at Caravan was rather good. The wide-ranging menu with its many influences made for interesting eating, with hits and misses. Arguably though it was the restaurant's vibe and decor that stood out - I'll be back for what is supposedly one of London's finest breakfasts (or brunches on the weekend)
I first went to Caravan in Kings Cross a couple of summers ago with friends, and loved it. But being a bit out of the way (it’s tucked away behind the station in the Granary Building), it’s not the most obvious place to think of going – but it’s always worth it. We took a long (2 hour) walk along Regents Canal from our flat in East London to Kings Cross, so we’d certainly worked up an appetite by the time we arrived! As always, it was incredibly busy (you can’t book a table for brunch at weekends) and there was a rather ridiculous one hour wait for a table. Luckily they told us we could also eat at the bar, where conveniently, two bar stools were sitting there with our names on them.
Caravan has a reputation for putting on a good brunch spread. Although they don’t take reservations at weekends, if you’re not battling a hangover it’s easy to get there just before opening at 10am. We did exactly that on a rainy Sunday morning, joining a small gaggle of equally clever diners outside the restaurant.

Back before I lived in London, I used to pass through Kings Cross every week. It was a pretty bleak place. Dark grey unwelcoming streets. Food? There's a McDonalds... When the Olympics arrived, so did a big pile of money - and places like Caravan are the result.
Set back in an old warehouse building, Caravan fits a lot of use cases. I'd stop in here, connect to the wifi and enjoy delicious coffee all afternoon. I'd catch up with friends here and enjoy delicious cocktails. I'd grab a DELICIOUS meal. OR... I'd do all three!
If the weather is right, the courtyard is ideal to relax in. Service was efficient and cheery. After an hour or so enjoying a couple of beers we managed to get a walk-in table for four (I will add, though, that I think you should book if you can) and ordered food and cocktails. I had an earl-grey infused gin cocktail which was seriously good.
We ordered three starters to share - which was plenty. The garlic bread with yoghurt, the chickpea chips (out of curiosity) and the curried suede. All three were delicious. For mains we went for pizzas and steaks - both of which were stunning. I'd expect few people to resist the pizzas they see being served to others as they look incredible.
The desserts were maybe the weakest point of the meal - with an interpretation of a 'black forest gateaux' being a little to 'out there' for us. I finished with a flat white instead and was not disappointed.
Our waitress was friendly, jokey and swift. We had a great evening - our best meal of the year so far. And Vic Reeves just so happened to be having a drink in the courtyard as we left...

Lazy weekends are what gets me through the work week. It's time that is largely mine and where I can dictate the do's and don'ts temporarily before my time is paid for again by the 9 to 5. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a lively weekend where I play the socialite but honestly, most of the time I just want to take it easy and let it come to me and there are few better places to wait in London than Caravan over a hearty brunch.
My first experience at a Caravan establishment was at their original location in Exmouth Market about 5 years ago. At this time, the whole "brunch" concept was still very much in its embryonic stage in London but already Caravan was leading the way serving up fantastic coffees (a true flat white in every sense) along with a menu of delectable mid-morning dishes. Fair to say that from that visit onwards, I was a fan so when they announced they were expanding to a bigger location in Kings Cross, I was more than a little pleased.
Much to my relief, the formula here has remained pretty simple. Take the foundations of success that the original did so well (providing great coffee and food) and reflect it in a grander environment; the transfer has been flawless.
Though the decor is slicker and trendier than the original, that is largely all that has changed as the menu still retains all the old favourites. Hearty plates including my favourites courgette and corn fritters with chilli jam, herbed feta & rocket and the Jalapeno corn bread with fried eggs, black beans & guindilla pepper are still flying off the shelves and now, at an ever faster rate. Couple with a perfect flat white and a slice of their beautiful coconut bread and the world could end that day and I'd be a content man.
If you're looking for brunch spots, you'd be wise to start with Caravan at the fore and then consider the rest from there. Your only disappointment may come in the form of a lack of seating due to its popularity but you know what they say about good things and waiting.

Located close to Kings Cross St near the canals in the old Granary District makes it a place for quick bite from even when you visit the station. However watch out to the wait to get a table, it will take
The Brunch menu has some innovative dishes. We ordered two main dishes and a on toast dish between two people and the portions were good size.
The On Toast with different toppings are something that are a must have! The simple cheddar and onion chutney was made amazing coz of the sour dough bread.
While all the mains sounded great the 'Coconut bread with lemon curd and rhubarb' is great for some who like a little sweetness.
'Jalapeño cornbread with fried eggs and black beans' bring together some great tastes while the freshness of the ingredients make each bite tastier than the last.
The staff is friendly and ambience of the venue makes it a really laid back and relaxed place to brunch.
They have managed to warm the space with excellent lighting and by packing the tables in closely together. If you’re one of the unlucky few to get a table in the dark back-room by the coffee roaster then maybe you won’t share this feeling. First I’ll get my big complaint out the way- the dreaded 2 hour turnover rule. Why do restaurants insist on telling the diners this? Do they not realise it is possibly the
Caravan must be doing something right. Bazley and I rather fortuitously found ourselves in the literally shiny new Granary Square of a Tuesday evening, and decided to enquire about a table. A one-and-a-half hour wait for a space in a restaurant that would easily seat 150? Like I said, they’re definitely doing something right.
Delicious!
The downside here is the service is quite slow.. We have to consistently remind the orders to the waiter.. Long waiting time for food and coffee…
Skip across Granary square in Kings Cross to Caravan and indulge in arguably the best meal of the weekend. An arrow points to the greatest brunch in town. (I might have got in the way a teeny bit)! Caravan buzzes with activity and warmth. The industrial feel mixed with the low hanging lights and candles creates a relaxed and casual atmosphere, perfect for any type of meeting. You may be presented with a bag of flour that serves as your number in the queue for a table. Meanwhile take a seat at the bar and sip on some much needed caffeine as you wait. We chose food from the daily changing bakery board although up until asked, I was tempted to order some monstrous amount of eggs and smoked salmon and sourdough and more eggs and maybe some granola and .. you get the idea! Luckily our choice couldn't have been better although there was some serious food envy lurking in the air! After we polished off a cookie the size of my face and a raspberry and white chocolate muffin,

Finally, the raclette and spinach french toast leaped out at me. I hadn't had savoury French toast, and I like to be a little adventurous with my choices. With difficulty, I turned my back on the equally delicious-sounding jalapeno cornbread with eggs, black beans and quadrillo peppers. My friend, finally managed to decide on the Caravan Fry. We both got some avocado on the side.
Judging on the crowds and top-notch food and service, I can see this venue quickly developing into a roaring success. Definitely in the top five brunch spots in London.
even with the high expectation that I had, the brunch dishes we sampled were incredibly easy to fall in love with. Even the simple avocado with olive oil on sourdough toast (from St John) looked inviting when it arrived on another table. Before I talk about food, the queue has to be mentioned. We arrived at 12pm for Sunday brunch, which was served from 10am to 4pm and no booking allowed. Brunch is the worst time to queue (at least for me) because people come really hungry and definitely more so after the long walk from King’s Cross station that’s if you didn’t get lost within the station itself (hard to know which exit to take). I spotted the queue as soon as I arrived at the Granary Building, where Central Saint Martin art college is. The restaurant was as spacious as a warehouse, high ceiling, loads of tables and a coffee bar towards the back. After
There are a handful of great brunch spots in the city, and Caravan has definitely become one of my favourites. The menu looks so exciting with some bold pairing of ingredients and exotic touches - I have my eyes on their crab omelette, raclette French toast and parmesan grits. I wonder how their corn & morcilla fritters compare to Granger & Co's at Nottinghill too...
The quality of the food at Caravan is not at all unexpected given the heritage, but here it comes with added art students and without the queue you'll have at their other place in Exmouth Market.
I love love love Caravan in Exmouth Market - amazing coffee (with beans roasted on site), great food, lovely staff, cool space, great street - what's not to like? So I was super excited to learn that the Caravan crew were opening a new gaff in King's Cross . I was meeting my friend Neil for lunch on Sunday so thought it would be a good chance to check it out. Once again, I was struck by the transformation of the area behind King's Cross station - and even though I am nostalgic for my old clubbing days in the area, so far I like everything that is happening back there - Eat St rocks, Shrimpy's is ace and the new Granary Square development (where Caravan is) is a really cool redevelopment of an old Victorian warehouse and manages to keep the character of the old rail yards/Regent's Canal area whilst feeling very "now". My only worry is that Eat St and Shrimpy's are both temporary happenings and I wonder what this area will be like when the entire redevelopment is done - however if Gr
Much has been made of the "transformation" of Kings Cross over the last few years. The stunning redevelopment of the St Pancras Renaissance hotel, the new Eurostar terminal, the remodelling of Kings Cross station itself and now the opening of the Granary building and a new wing of St Martins College are all evidence of the vast sums of money that have poured into the area, and of course these are all for the good. But actually, plenty of the "old" Kings Cross still exists and is just as grotty as it ever was. Instead of turning out of the station towards the smart Regents Canal developments, for example, head over to Argyll Street and see how many seedy hotels are still lurking around. And based on the alarming signs on the doors of the kebab shops on Euston Road, pickpockets still operate at very much pre-regeneration levels there. So perhaps the "transformation" isn't so much about cleansing NW1 of petty criminals and grotty tenants than it is just giving people something else to ass
The seared trout was one of the best fish dishes I've had in recent memory. Great use of Japanese flavours. The starters were great too, especially the soft shell crab and coconut lime chicken salad. Everything is done with creativity. The smoked salmon was slightly too salty and should have just used salmon sashimi though
This is surprisingly good. Against my better judgement my son chose to eat here. Service excellent and the food has something. Loved the Caerphilly pizza - I DONT DO PIZZA EXCEPT IN NAPLES. So quite a surprise!
Only downside is the noise
Will be back !

Caravan Kings Cross, serves up “well travelled food, and mighty fine coffee, located in an old grain store”.
The words ‘Caravan’ and ‘old grain store’ automatically made me think dark and damp however this could not have been further from the huge open premises that the restaurant was housed in.
Despite its vastness Caravan was also hugely popular, however waiting 45 minutes for a table was not a problem due to the glorious sunny weather; we simply chilled out and soaked up the rays at the edge of Regent’s canal whilst awaiting a text to let us know when a table was available.
There was still a small wait when we arrived but the waiter came and chatted with us to pass the time and to make us aware that we had not been forgotten about. The staff, though all incredibly busy, were both chatty and efficient which added to the buzzing yet chilled atmosphere. Though the tables were tightly packed together the high ceiling and industrial decor made the place feel bright and airy.
The menu was not your standard brunch and had many combinations that excited me so much that I had to go half and half with my long suffering boyfriend.
To start I had a Morning Gin which was a zesty, refreshing way to wake up. The boys all went for bloody marys; I am not usually a fan as often I feel like it is drinking salty salsa however these were light and to my surprise delicious.
Next it was onto a stack of Jalapeno corn bread, fried eggs, black beans and guindilla pepper. The corn bread was amazing, the zingy chilli and sweet corn created a wonderful depth of flavours rather than being overly spicy. They also had a well balanced egg to bread ratio which I have a great appreciation for.
Time to swap plates and try poached eggs, aubergine puree, yoghurt, sumac, parsley, toast. The poached eggs and aubergine came served beautifully and the puree was sultry and smoky. My only small critique would be that unlike my first dish the toast ratio was all wrong – one small slice for 3 eggs just didn’t add up.
To finish we all grabbed a coffee made in their on-site roastery which was bittersweet and strong (just how I like it).
All round Caravan Kings Cross is a really great place serving up unique food, smooth coffee in a beautiful and convenient location.

“Let’s meet outside Caravan at 10am”, I texted my friend on the Saturday night before our first visit. 10am is when Caravan King’s Cross opens on Sundays, and yet when we got there, a line of Sunday brunchers was already waiting outside. The queue wasn’t too long; hardly anything to worry about, comparing to the long, dread-inducing lines I’ve noticed at other times of the day. Still, I wondered why those people had felt compelled to come so early to secure a table.
It took as little as one bite into my breakfast of choice to understand. Always partial to sweet snacks over savoury brunches, I ordered a slice of pistachio and peach tart that tasted like something out of a dream: rich in flavour and marvellously buttery. Far more buttery than I can afford, but who cares: as the Latin saying goes, “semel in anno licet insanire” (“once in a year one is allowed to go crazy” – only that it’s more like once a day for me). Caravan’s much celebrated coffee was the unexpected lowlight of my morning; an experience I would recall months later, when I first visited Workshop in Farringdon (where coffee tasted too aggressively bitter for my buds, much in the same way as Caravan’s).
More than one year after that visit, and many failed plans to return later, I finally managed to eat at Caravan again. I went with two colleagues, back from a meeting and on our way to another. We were sat at a sharing table within a couple of minutes of entering; a stroke of luck, for the place was packed and we hadn’t booked in advance. Being my office’s resident food authority, I didn’t have to battle to convince my colleagues to head to Caravan: all it took was the vague promise that the food was nice, and there would be wi-fi. That’s not to say I would encourage you to go there to get some work done, or book a table for a business lunch. In fact, I don’t. Caravan is made for leisurely, indulgent meals with your friends or family; with our buzzing laptops and fingers tapping manically on keyboards, we were the discordant note among a relaxed, informal clientele, of which all throughout my meal I wished I could be part (ah, the vain hope of having a Friday off work!).
The short window of time we had pressured me into choosing my food quickly, and I’m glad for that, as I could have spent an entire half hour perusing the menu. Caravan’s “small plates” selection offers an interesting pairing of soft shell crab and lentil dahl; “large plates” include potato gnocchi with wild mushrooms and Jerusalem artichoke cream. After long minutes of indecision, I trusted my first instinct, and went for pizza. Not a decision a native Italian with impossibly high standards takes lightheartedly, but sod it – the combination of provolone cheese, artichokes, new potatoes and rosemary sounded too good to say no to. And good it was, too. The dough was well cooked through, spread into a massive circle that brimmed over my plate; no match to the sourdough base you’d find at the likes of Franco Manca, or the thick, chewy crust that marks true Neapolitan pizza, but still the finest among the “non-authentic” pizzas I’ve had in London so far. Cheese oozed from all corners, with the delicate notes of artichokes and potatoes matching its smoky flavour perfectly. I didn’t taste much of the truffle oil, which felt about right, as one drop too many can turn a well balanced dish into overkill.
My meal was a rich, filling one, which I loved from the first to the last bite. Caravan was the beauty I remembered, and I can’t wait for a chance to visit again. I’ll leave my computer at home, though – I can think of many better lunch companions than my dreary work email inbox.
Great casual restaurant in Kings Cross. Had lunch with a friend and the food was delicious whilst not expensive. I had the burrata with some salad and hazelnuts and octopus with peppers and paprika. They were excellent choices but the whole menu looked incredible. Service was fast.
Came here in July for a Friday lunch, luckily we'd booked a table because it was buuuusy! We had about 4 or 5 small plates to share between two of us and a couple of wines. Really good food, especially the fish dishes, although a bit expensive to make it a regular place.
Came on a Friday and it was busy, busy, busy! Just what you want to get you in the mood for a Friday night out. The atmosphere was vibrant and buzzy with patrons ranging from late 20s to 40s- so a really good mix.
Caravan have got a really fabulous mix of new flavours for the European food/ tapas, and once again, my big eyes wanted to take over the ordering. I would say 3-4 dishes per person is enough (depending on how hungry/ greedy you're feeling).
Service was top-notch although I felt rather sorry for the waiters who were completely rushed off their Nike-trainered feet.
Having had a look at their brunch menu, I will most definitely be coming back. They seem to have gone out of their way to offer something a bit different, and for that alone, I applaud them.
Defiantly recommend booking as it gets very busy particularly around brunch time, so if you don't like to que, plan ahead. It's quite a fancy outlet so it's great for a special location. The fig tart in particular is amazing.
Great aesthetics, post-modern industrial look done extremely well! Good atmosphere and a very good location for a casual lunch. However, the service was quite negligent, we waited about 20 minutes for a drinks order after we sat down, and our waiter wasn't especially friendly.
I had two small plates, goat’s cheese with beets. This was delicious, the second small plate was octopus with chorizo, this was disappointingly served warm (not hot) and was extremely oily! I couldn’t eat it because it was so greasy, which was disappointing because it sounded amazing on the menu! Also, the waiter could see it had barely been touched and failed to ask whether there was a problem which was equally as disappointing. However, my friend very much enjoyed his cod main and could not find a fault in it! Also, their coffees were delicious- Great flavour and served beautifully.
All in all, I personally had a very mixed experience and would mainly recommend Caravan for its coffee.
Caravan is a coffee, bar and restaurant located near the popular station King Cross.
The kitchen in the restaurant is mostly International, Contemporary.
Can recommend to try their breakfast menu and most specifically the Two Eggs Any Style, Skeaky Bacon, Slow Roast Tomatoes and Creamy Soy Mushrooms on Sourdough or Grain Toast or the Cornbread French Toast with Bacon, Rocket and Avocado!
As a drinks can advise you to order the Hot Chocolate or the Mochaccino.
Great Venue to have you breakfast or late brunch!
If you are with some friends this place is simply the Best where to go
This restaurant sent four foodies (my friends and me) into a spin of joy! The atmosphere inside this place is what will leave you amazed. Food is great too and absolutely inexpensive.
We shared 6 courses and we ordered eggs, fish (which was really good), a soutsouki pizza some desserts with apple and ice cream. All this stuff made us wildly happy.
The design of this place is simple but nice. It’s most of times super busy but if you can put aside your impatience you will be rewarded with an unforgettable experience.
Price is just right! So, don’t miss this place if you around.
Caravan does those trendy little dishes, referred to as 'plates', which provide so much choice it becomes difficult to come to any decision at all. My eyes wandered for so long over the menu that I just let my mother take over and waited for whatever arrived. The food was a bit hit or miss, though a rabbit in chocolate mole sauce was a surprise hit.
The restaurant, despite its name, is a huge, cavernous place that feels a little bit like a very chic cafeteria; this does create a pretty loud eating environment but even with so many diners, our waiter managed to make his service very personal.

Good brunch, good coffee, really cool interior.
I had heard a lot about Caravan from friends and also in a book i brought on London. So we hiked all the way out to Kings Cross to try it. It was one of the lucky last sunny autumn days so we sat outside in the courtyard which was great. Brunch on a Tuesday was a good option as i hear its crazy busy in the weekends and you will have to wait a long time for a table.
The menu was rather limited but had some good options. I went for the courgette fritters which were delicious. The relish was fresh with a hint of spice which i thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered two poached eggs as a side which was good as the meal itself wasn't huge and i was starving! My friends enjoyed their breakfasts apparently the baked eggs are the winner!
If there's no sunlight don't fret, the inside has the feel of a modern warehouse with good seating and a really cool interior.
The staff were friendly enough and the food came out in a timely manner.
Filter coffee was good my friends soy flat white however was terrible the milk horrifically burnt and lumpy. They weren't that impressed when we pointed this out however they did replace it quickly with a slightly better version.
Around 12-15 pound for brunch and a coffee.
So we all know that with Caravan you have to arrive one hour in anticipation of any kind of hunger pangs, because this is how long you are going to have to wait to be seated, but there are three reasons why this is so totally worth it.
1) The staff really are pretty cool, with their signature red lipstick and rolled up black sleeves/skinny jeans, maintaining a nice hipster uniform.
2) The atmosphere is just great. Sharing tables makes for meeting wonderful people - we befriended a lovely deaf couple, who taught us the signs for pepper, water and FOOD ENVY
3) The grub really just can't be topped. Try the coconut bread/ baked eggs for the ultimate foodgasm experience

Food Review: Upon entering at 11am on a Sunday for brunch, I was told it would be a 2 hour queue. I then decided to wait with a coffee ordered from a very packed bar, also people waiting, the coffee itself, woke me up instantly which numbed the pain of waiting. Once waiting for more than 2 hours, we were finally seated. I was able to overlook the menu. First I ordered a fruit juice, cheese and onion jam on toast, and Middle Eastern poached eggs alongside berry compote with waffles. The freshly squeezed watermelon and mint juice were the first to come, a refreshing taste following on from the waiting with a large amount of people. Next the cheese and onion jam on sour bread, which melted in your mouth and warmed your inside. The eggs seemed to be done in a middle eastern style, which was unusual as the restaurant did not have seem to have a middle eastern them, anyhow, they were still delicious. To finish of the meal were a berry compote with waffles and a dollop of cream, eaten as a trio, it was amazing.
Settings Review: The location is set on the edge of a square encased within a large warehouse. The interior is very minimal with a side room where the chefs are on show preparing the food and a bar at the back stretching around the corner, completing the rustic look.
Positives: big flavours, good coffee
Negatives: long queue
3 words: appetising, flavoursome, delicious
Caravan King's Cross has a completely different vibe to Caravan Exmouth Market. The latter being compact, dimly lit and packed with foodies, the former attracts a much more varied crowd in an expansive farmhouse-esque building.
I've only ever had tapas-type dishes, but when I took my Dad he had a pizza. The chicken on the pizza was quite dry, and although the flavours worked well together, I don't think the pizzas are one of Caravan's best dishes. However I have always had good experience with the tapas. Value-wise it's quite hit and miss, but when it's good, it's very good. The wine list is extensive and the cocktails are tasty.
Service is polite but can be slow, probably due to the size of the place. I'd recommend for special occasions, or for larger-than-average budgets.
Make sure you get there early for brunch though - you can't book and I've heard queues for the japaleno cornbread are loooong.

Caravan - great space, friendly staff (not efficient, mind) and good food - if you make the right choice.
When you order well in Caravan the food is fantastic (fried soft shell crab, I'm looking at you) but quite often dishes are a bit disappointing (why lamb tongue, why?!)
They have some of the best and most delicious desserts I've had in London for a while (lemon meringue with sago) and I hear the coffee is great.
Warning - do not expect to get the bill anytime soon. It's nearly impossible to pin a sever down, but then again I thinks it's just that they need more. The restaurant is never quiet
Great location out the back of kings cross, nice for a sunny afternoon. The menu is interesting using some interesting blends but I think they are just missing something as the flavours where not all fully infused.
Some of the food could have been warmer like the octopus but maybe that's just me and I should be served cooler.
A must have is the coffee rubbed lambs ribs, although I didn't get any flavour of coffee the ribs were fantastic, the meat was falling off the bone.
They make great latte as well.

Karen from Smashing the Glass suggested Caravan, one of her favourite dining destinations, well known for their excellent coffee and brunch offerings as well as a fantastic lunch menu that fuses Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine.
The restaurant is based in a converted grain store and the decor is industrial-chic with a high unfinished ceiling, open pipe work and concrete floor. The look is similar to Caravan's neighbouring restaurant, Grain Store, which I review earlier in the year and absolutely loved!! Smells of coffee and freshly baked bread drift around the restaurant and despite the urban decor, it still manages to be homely.
The menu is packed with unusual ingredients, many of which neither of us had heard of. I love menus like that, where you're almost certain to be trying something new. I opted for a starter and main course, whereas Karen, who prefers to graze, chose a selection of small plates.
Karen started with heritage carrots, ras el hanout, kale, goat's cheese and sultanas. We both agreed that we would have never guessed that it was a plate of carrots! Karen enjoyed the starter, which was quite piquant but the goat's cheese helped to neutralise the spice.
I chose smoked salmon with apple jelly. For me this dish was incredible, a generous portion with a very light dressing and the added spice of a bit of pepper. The apple jelly didn't add much in terms of flavour but it did make the plate even prettier.
Karen and I had so much to talk about, our own weddings, developing our blogs and our love of nice hotels! We discussed the stories behind some of the real weddings that appear on her blog and some of her beautiful creative ideas for decor, stationary and food that really add personality to a wedding.
Chorizo and octopus was the first of Karen's small main courses and unfortunately she found it a little too spicy to eat. I also noticed there was very little octopus and it was rather heavy on the Spanish sausage.
Her second small plate was a soft boiled duck egg, served with baba ghanoush. The Middle Eastern dish fared better and the egg opened to a perfect runny yolk complimented by the mildly spicy chilli oil and coriander.
My main course was a black sea bream with a balsamic glaze, orange pesto and a side salad of fennel. The zesty and refreshing dish went down a treat for me and the combination of flavours is a favourite of mine.
Karen needed to get back to relieve her babysitter of duty so our lunch flew by all too quickly. We really enjoyed most of the food but the end of the meal was spoilt a little as the staff were very slow to bring the bill and we were in a hurry to leave. I had been very keen to try the famous coffee from Caravan but because of our rush I had to take it away instead.
It was fantastic to meet Karen and to find out we have masses in common! I loved Caravan too, despite some patchy service, and I'm keen to come back to try the famous brunch and salted caramel hot chocolate!

The majority of the hype about Caravan is generated due to the location. Situated in front of a fun water feature shooting up from floor in the newly hip Granary Square, and located inside the cavernous Granary Building, this restaurant has a very large, industrial space to fill.
Expanses of exposed brick work, overhead electrical ducts, low lighting using unmatched bulbs and an open kitchen which is caged but visible, behind a mental grate, is the scene that will greet diners. Light wooden tables, chairs and benches span the vast urban space and the immensely high ceilings create space for the buzzy but relaxed atmosphere that dwells here. This hipster-esque decor is matched by the crowd that flocks here and also by the excitable staff.
As a result, Caravan is very in-trend destination and it was this novelty that drew me to try their Brunch menu.
Would I Want Seconds?
The menu is described as ‘Well Traveled’, linking back to the mobility of the name, though it mostly has a Western Mediterranean flavour to it.
Brunch has a variety of options which work well to pick and mix together. This includes Coconut bread, French Toast, Smoked Haddock and the Caravan Fry, composed of Eggs, Field Mushrooms, Tomato Compote, Bacon and Sourdough or Grain Toast. The menu is simple sounding but there is a depth of flavour in each dish. In addition they serve quality own-roast coffee, harking back to the original Exmouth Market branch of Caravan.
Caravan also has an All Day Menu, again designed to be shared, where the focus is on small plates. These include Deep-Fried Duck Egg served with Babaganoush, Seabass Ceviche, Grilled Quail and Chargrilled Lemongrass Pork. There are also a few larger plates to choose and a handful of Pizza dishes as well.
Desserts are tempting as they include Affogato, served with Vanilla Ice Cream and their own Espresso, Scruptions Butterscotch Caramel Pot and Plum Clafoutis.
Could I Afford Seconds?
As Caravan fits into tapas style ordering, be prepared to order quite a few plates.The small plates range from £3 to £7, and two are usually enough for a light lunch for one person. Larger plates cost substantially more, at approximately £15 each. The Puddings are from £5 to £9.50.
Additionally, for brunch a plate is between £7.50 to £9 though the coffee is very decently priced for the quality, with an espresso costing £2 and a latte at £2.60.
Overall:
Caravan seems to have a fashionable fan following, and it is easy to get absorbed into this trend. I’m glad I've finally visited this populist mecca but now that I have the yearning has slightly worn off.
Caravan is perfect if you’re looking for an impressive but comfortable venue (with unisex loos), sharing dishes, and above average priced dishes. However I may be old-fashioned but Granary Square hasn't won me over quite yet; for now I’d still much rather head central to Soho for a delectable sharing platter and a crowd which feels much more me.
Unusual place for brunch, bit difficult to find but part of a highly regenerated area in Kings Cross. Food was delicious and very clever flavours. The place is huge so the service was a little hit & miss. I did go back for an evening meal here for a tapas type meal, very interesting dishes, quality ingredients & lovely procecco on tap. Pricey mind!
On our way to meet a good friend before my flight tomorrow and she recommended this off beat hipster looking place, and what a great recommendation it turned out to be. A mix of different foods and tastes we haven't come across and the ambience just amazing. The food actually wasn't amazing but just different but a great setup, ambiance and server more than made up for it. Great ice creams too btw. Would def. wanna come in again.
Went for brunch, had the waffles with red berries and Mascarpone. Restaurant was really busy so service not the best

Having never before really explored Kings Cross, it was with some trepidation that I followed the paths all the way round to Caravan. What a surprise! Fountain jets, wide open spaces and a marvellous new restaurant!
Feeling slightly gluttonous, I ordered not only the Mocha but also the Carrot, Orange & Ginger juice (Extra ginger please) but also contemplated the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.
At Caravan, the standard Antipodean fare of Corn Fritters comes with an added ingredient - Morcilla (or blood sausage). This turned out to be a disappointment - I simply could not taste what the Morcilla added to the entire corn fritter experience.
The fritters were a tad (Smidgen really) on the dry side, but well balanced by the avocado, leaves and creme fraiche. Had it not been for the promise of Morcilla, I would have been perfectly satisfied... but I expected an additional flavour that I did not get.
The restaurant was pretty quiet and we were able to grab a comfy table on the couches and I can only too well imagine it would get heaving on the weekend.
Would I be back? Yes probably, but next time I'm trying the Jalapeno corn bread. Oh yes, and the salt caramel hot chocolate.

Tucked away amid the urban redevelopment around Kings Cross station this restaurant is a reasonably priced, but alternative choice to your standard fare.
The colourful fountains by the canal, North of the station, provide a pleasant welcome and the mood lit interior continues in this vein. The high ceilings and metallic mesh divisions hint at the industrial legacy of the building, but the menu, as the name suggests, is more exotic.
There are a number of options from tapas style mains to pizzas and sharing platters and all dishes stand out as being very original. I opted for a barbecue chicken pizza, which was the best chicken pizza I've had (usually I would opt for sausage/pepperoni). The chicken was almost tikka style and the dough was not too dry or crispy. My lady friend also had a pizza - a vegetarian option with feta, and it was equally good. Not the most authentic, but still a good standard and good value at £10.
The pizza was washed down with a pint of craft lager that was also notable, and all in all the bill came to about £15 a head with tip.
Next time, I think I'll be more adventurous a try the other mains, although be prepared to find a lot of sea food options.

Note: As always, it is imperative you read the whole review before making a judgment on the restaurant, my reviews are often lengthy and involved all aspects.
After finding this little reviewed & rated restaurant on Zomato, I decided to give them a phone call to see if they were still open to diners (as we would be arriving just after 10pm), the lady that answered the phone was extremely polite and said the kitchen would be open until 10.30pm - fantastic!
My spouse and I arrived to a vibrant, buzzing atmosphere with birthday celebrations and (despite being located in the vicinity of UAL/CSM university) professionals enjoying a weeknight excursion. A rather mature, yet quirky setting with industrial tones and a mix of dimmed lights and candles to set the mood.
We were seated and provided with their menus (identical to those provided on Zomato - which we had already had a sneak peak at!). This is ANYTHING but a 'Cafe'. We ordered the jerk chicken 'small plate' and the chicken pizza (which I had the Mozzarella changed for Goats Cheese as I believed it complimented the other ingredients listed better). The Pizza was nothing short of exceptional; I was truly amazed that they allow themselves to be listed as a Cafe as this establishment is more of a restaurant than plenty I have visited. The jerk chicken was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, absolutely delicious with the complementing sauce provided.
Drinks wise, we tried their house white and were pleasantly surprised with it, great value for money. The only downside to the whole experience is the wine glasses. It is borderline criminal to serve wine in what are considered more water glasses (short wine glasses with less than an inch of stem). When providing delicious, well-made food with a brilliant wine list (extensive) how can you not provide the most basic item, a good wine glass! Absolutely beyond me, but a simple fix for the restaurant to implement.
Regardless, this restaurant will not fail to impress you with great value for money, a friendly environment and great service. Ticks almost all the boxes and I look forward to returning.
Went here for a birthday brunch. They serve very lovely coffee and a nice selection of brunch dishes however you can also get bigger dishes (bowls). The Korean fried chicken with kimchi pancakes was great and really filling. The french toast was a bit too sweet and not really “french-toasty”.
The chocolate cake which I got as birthday cake was lovely and not too sweet which was great.
Recommend for a weekend brunch but always make a reservation
Went there for a cute girl brunch 😋 I had Korean Style Buttermilk Chicken with Kimchi Pancakes 🥞🇰🇷 the pancakes were soft and chewy I loved them so much! We all enjoyed our food!
This place is located right by the coal drop yard, amazing location for a nice weekend or even after work bite/drinks! They have outdoor seating area too so could defo take advantage of that on a sunny day! ☀️
Food was quite delicious and it had a very good ambiance and atmosphere. But during night time and day time, it was great to see and to sit outside for the scenic view. The main reason why I did give them one less star was because they kept getting their coffee orders wrong. This was not just our coffee order, but to two other tables. The table next to us, it took them three times to get it right and the couple both ordered the same drinks.
Busy, busy and busy. The only word that could describe the cool place. Drinks were cool, food was cool and waiters were super cool. Menu just dazzled your eyes and couldn't really order when tons of people were around and chatting, waiters were waiting. But guess it is the coll place should be, no? Had a great flat white made by a cool lady. The whole experience was awesome.
Lovely atmosphere, great service.
Tried the rhubarb and ginger polenta pudding. Totally delicious.
Would question the design on my cappuccino though. Apparently it was a heart. Pick below for you to make up your mind! Good job I’m not easily offended. Did give a good giggle to my friends!
Caravan in King's Cross provides exemplary service that truly distinguishes it. The staff are exceptionally attentive and take the initiative to meet your needs before you even voice them. One staff member, Phoebe, stood out for her meticulousness. She flawlessly managed multiple orders, ensuring accuracy each time. Impressively, she even assisted in a rather unusual situation – the careful extraction of a splinter. Her actions added a touch of personal care that elevated the entire experience.
Adding to the appeal, Caravan in King's Cross boasts an expansive seating area both inside and out. The outdoor space shines in particular, offering a perfect retreat for those warm summer days in London. The combination of stellar service and the inviting atmosphere make it a must-visit destination in the city.
The brunch menu had an excellent selection including a number of vegetarian and vegan options available. The free-flowing batch filter coffee was excellent, it’s taste was only enhanced by the ethical sourcing of the beans. The restaurant was extremely busy so booking is highly recommended. Staff did forget to bring out cutlery when our food was served however the team was extremely quick to bring them out once they had realised. Overall a wonderful visit and will be heading back soon to try the evening menu.
Love caravan kings cross. Amazing spot to meet with friends over a delicious brunch and coffee. Food is good, delicious plates, a bit pricey but still on the affordable side. I’ve had most of the brunch dishes and I recommend them all. Staff is always friendly and attentive. The ambience both indoors and outdoors is great. Overall a consistent and reliable place for brunch on a top location.
Our first visit to this restaurant. Food and drinks were fabulous. Service was a little slow at first. But to be fair, it was quite busy. Great atmosphere we and really enjoyed our choices of food from the menu. Would definitely visit again and have the same dishes again. Had a lovely afternoon! :)
Coffe cup size is quite small for the price and I don't really think its a good coffee. How ever the deco and atmosphere are great.
Great food, great atmosphere here and great service. 7 min walk from Kings Cross Station to Granary Square where the restaurant looks out onto. Perfect for families, friends and date nights.
Nice atmosphere and location
The hot chocolate Carmel was delicious
The food was tasty, good presentation and flavours.
I recommend the place for its ambiance.
I have been here twice for breakfast/brunch and it is really good. There are a lot of options for food and drinks. The food comes really quickly and servers are all friendly. Fairly standard prices for London. You can't book unless you are in a group of 10 or over but it is a massive restaurant so not too much of an issue. Would highly recommend the french toast.
It was very busy so make sure you book a table. Went there for a birthday lunch and Joe our waiter couldn't have been nicer. They arranged for a candle on my dessert, the selection of small plates was lovely and they also have nice cocktails. Will return
We came in for breakfast on a weekday and found seating right away. We ordered the fried jalapeño cornbread and the baked eggs with flatbread.
Personally I absolutely love the jalapeño cornbread and this is the second time I’ve ordered exactly the same thing. The food quality here in general is really good and I would definitely come back here again!
There’s plenty of seating too!
Update: the fried jalapeño cornbread now comes with a mojo verde, avocado and the curd is different too - the additions make this dish even better than before!!
Another lovely branch of Caravan, went here for dinner for group of 7 and all went smoothly. I tried small plates that tasted absolutely beautiful - just be mindful that they comes in tiny portions so you’d need order at least 3 dishes for a meal.
Menu-wise, I’d highly recommend crispy tofu and cod dumplings, both somewhat in Asian fusion flavours. For desserts, chocolate cake (less flour I think) was the best of the kind amongst I have tasted in recent years. Everything served promptly and staffs were friend and helpful. Will definitely come back when I’m around the area.
We popped in for what turned out to be the nicest breakfast we had on our whole trip. Both the hot-smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, and the hazelnut chocolate and blood orange french toast, are delicious. In a trip characterised by great service, Caravan stands out for having the friendliest staff we had the pleasure of being attended by. Don't miss this!
