Gin and tonics were fine! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be going back.
Unique menu with interesting flavour combos, very accommodating with allergies and dietary restrictions... A•M•A•Z•I•N•G
Trop bien bonne ambiance personnel au top
Lovely fresh flavours! Innovative combinations that work beautifully. Great atmosphere and service. Thank you!
Delicious food served by quick and efficient and friendly people in a great atmosphere.
Great food 🥘 friendly staff I will be back 😃
Awesome evening this Place . Great food ! Nice staff!
A reminder of Melbourne coffee excellent. Keep it up
Loved it. The cornbread French toast with feta, chorizo, avocado and maple syrup was just awesome.
Only been twice but on both occasions superb!
Excellent coffee and breakfast, very good service. Would love to see something like this in Manchester.
The best place in london. Fantastic view,great atmosphere good ambience great food expensive but worth please book in advance,has one of the best restaurant
Came here for lunch with a work colleague just by chance, was really busy and we didn't have a reservation but they managed to sit us upstairs. I had the seabass red coconut curry (doesn't come with rice) so I was advised to order chips with it to dip in to it (bit random), the curry was £19 on its own and when it said large plate it was literally a seabass fillet on some chopped up carrot, a few peanuts and a sauce. The chips were nice but not sure they really go! Bill came to £40 (they put service charge on), for my main plus half the chips and half a bottle of prosecco. I feel this is really expensive for what it was. I wouldn't say it was a "large plate" of food. Don't think I would come back. The menu is not very big either.
Very beautiful space, wait staff were attentive.. I must have drunk 3L of water cause it just kept getting filled up! We just had a few drinks and a small bite. I liked it but it's probably a little too expensive and smancy feeling for what it is.
Caravan Exmouth Market is the original branch of the expanding Caravan cafe brand (there’s another in Kings Cross) and is another of those “Australian” style cafes which focuses on great coffee, breakfasts and a range of appealing all-day options.

From Student to Chef.For starters with the paté, I used the bread I had, cut off the crusts and then sliced through the middle to create thin wafer type pieces of bread. These were toasted and used to scoop up the paté. Therefore, I became a gourmet chef.With the Steaks, I cooked once at room temperature, I seasoned as a chef would and cooked the steak medium rare, just as I like it. See, you do not need to go out of your way to make your partner feel special.The rest of the meal was all Waitrose- for which I thank them. The sides of fries and veg were stuffed into the oven and cooked and devoured. To end it all, a delightful salted caramel tart.This is value and is great for students, for couples, for singletons, for anyone. All of the food above and in addition, a bottle of red wine too. I love going out to restaurants as anyone who knows me will tell you. However, I also love to cook and appreciate value. £20 for two for an evening out, is unheard of, putting in extra effort to cook is priceless.

Exmouth Market is a favorite haunt of mine due to the abundance of reasonably priced restaurants offering well prepared cuisine.
My usual Italian restaurant was operating at full capacity on a weekday evening, and it looked like at least an hour long wait.
We were a group of four, and not feeling up to a long wait, headed off in this direction and found Caravan equally full. While we were waiting hesitantly at the door, a whirlwind of a waiter named Miguel materialized before us, and greeted us pleasantly and in a moment, had cleaned up a table and seated us comfortably.
We ordered a bottle of Tempranillo, and settled down to peruse the menu, after ordering a starter to share, which was the Blue Cheese and peanut wontons with soy sauce, which arrived shortly and was excellently prepared, and tasty by itself. The sweet soy introduced a bit of sweetness, but also made it just a bit over salty.
We were served a taster of yogurt with sumac and sesame, which was a combination of ingredients I had never tasted before. It was an excellent marriage of flavours.
For the main course we ordered the Dill cured Salmon with horseradish cheese and sourdough crumb. The softshell crab with kohlrabi, peanuts, cashew nuts and nuoc cham, and the Pan fried Duck Liver, with sauerkraut, brioche and coffee red wine sauce.
The mains were exceptionally good with a blend of new and unusual flavours. The only defect I found was that the connective tissue in the duck liver could have been trimmed out before cooking. It introduced an unnecessarily chewy and unpleasant texture to an otherwise well prepared dish. Several portions of bread and butter were ordered to accompany the mains.
For dessert we ordered the Affogato, and Chocolate Beetroot cake with passionfruit icecream, and almond praline. They were both well made with just the right flavours without being overpoweringly sweet.
I topped this all off with a Cappuccino which was exceptional, and bursting with full bodied coffee flavour with not a hint of bitterness. So good that I was able to consume it without adding any sugar! I ended up ordering a second cup!
It was an unexpectedly peasant meal, combined with friendly, courteous and professional service. Gabby, and Miguel were warm and friendly, and need special recognition for rendering us exceptional service which was warm, friendly and inviting. Miguel welcomed us warmly, and Gabby attended on us diligently. We felt comfortable at this place, and look forward to going back.
Fusion Cuisine at its finest!
Love it!. Amazing coffee, breakfast is always delicious, Great atmosphere.
My fav resturant and coffee house in London!! Best food and staff!!
I have been addicted to Caravan brunches for some time, so my friend
(and fellow addict) and I thought we should see how the evening at our favourite place pretty much ever compared.
I was craving French toast corn bread the moment I walked through door, hallelujah corn bread was on the menu as a starter.
The meal was everything that brunch at Caravan is: surprisingly exceptional with an intense but perfect mix of flavours.
The staff are always amiable but this time a little lax and forgot our wine order. But this was no dampener. Caravan remains my most favouritist place, like, ever.
Lovely for a treat. Exmouth market is full of tempting restaurants - from upscale Moro to the decidely good value sushi, pizza and turkish restaurants. Caravan is well worth heading for if you are looking for something original - the menu is well thought out and unusual combinations will have you munching away merrily. It's not cheap, but worth it for a treat.
Great food, coffee, and cocktails.. I went here with my girlfriend some months ago, as we had heard it has some of the best coffee in Great Britain. It lived up to that, and more. Finding filter coffee is difficult enough already, but Caravan goes above and beyond and tastes like awesome.
Not only is the coffee amazing, the food is amazing. Simple plates - like avacado on toast are garnished with just the right spices to call to the full-bodied, creamy avacado. The sourdough reminds me of San Francisco, and espresso of Italy (actually, better!).
I make a point of going to Caravan every time I'm in town, as well as bringing friends there.
Delicious!. We went here about a week ago for a late brekkie/brunch and really loved it. the most delicious breakfast i have had in London. and the milkshakes are great too.
Providores quality comes to Exmouth Market. Excellent service, perfectly balanced mojito and very tasty food. Worth ordering 5 or 6 small dishes between 2 (very memorable lamb, pork bun, tomato+chilli soup), good New World wine list and delicious desert (superb sorbet, rich chocolate etc.). Didn't try the coffee, will do next time. Really looking forward to going again.
Just had a great evening here. The service was spot on and the food fantastic. Well worth a visit.
One of life's pleasures. This is a great little place. Love the breakfast, incredible coffee and great toast (done on a grill!) Also make fantastic Negronis.
Oh Caravan! How I love you!. Your achingly yummy, eclectric menu!
Your duck and black pudding terrine!
Your quirky fit out and cool-but-still-fun vibe!
But most of all, I love you for the best dirty martini I've had in years!
...a kitschy little breakfast corner whose reclaimed woods and casual cool would not be out of place in Portland, Brooklyn, or Chicago’s Logan Square. Considered by many to be one of London’s best spots for coffee and creativity far beyond the “Full English
On Saturday morning I met a friend for brunch at Caravan. It’s a great little place in Exmouth Market and the menu features a take on the classic fry-up as well as a few unusual goodies. I had never been before but it lived up to the positive reviews I have heard – plus the sun was shining so we got to eat outside. No pictures as I’m still a little self-conscious about getting my camera out at the dinner table, but my friend had the fry-up (two friend eggs, bacon, roast tomatoes and soy mushrooms on sourdough toast) and I tucked into a mackerel, potato and roasted tomato omelette with saffron aioli. Our verdict? Delicious, and really filling. We spent the rest of the day walking around town, trying to work it off. I’m starting to become a coffee snob, visibly turning my nose up after a sip of coffee from a certain high street chain. I never used to be like this, but I’ve had a lot of great coffee recently and you start to notice the difference. The flat white at Caravan though was pre

Caravan reminds me of a restaurant in downtown New York, and there are few places where eating out feels like going out more than it does in downtown New York
The bar area is cool, and I'd definitely like to go back here with friends for a drink and maybe some light bites one evening - with such a great atmosphere at noon on a Sunday, when most people are nursing hangovers, I would love to see what it's like later on.

...went for a large plate (as I’m a growing boy) – Barnsley lamb chop, sweet potato gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, peas and mint sauce (£16). The flavour combinations were spot on – meaty lamb, fresh mint, tangy tomatoes and sweet gnocchi. The Barnsley chop was cooked to perfection – soft pink meat and crispy fat round the edge. The mint sauce was some of the best I’ve ever tasted.
Loved the Squid Pancake, a Japanese style pancake served with mayo and okonomiyaki sauce. The Cornbread and Chipotle Butter and the Sweetcorn with Teriyaki butter were great. The Pickled Mackerel was also a stand out. Liked the sharing plate, nice falafel, eggplant relish, hummus and merguez sausage but could have done without the pickled carrots. The salt beef fritters were too dry, the accompanying beans with mustard dressing also didn't do it for me. Forget the Pork filled Gypsy Bun, thick, hard pastry with dry pork, very disappointing. The staff are a little to chummy with each other, dancing about and faking that they really like each other, it felt a bit like Empire Records at times but no one was as hot as Liv Tyler.
Caravan is daring, innovative and has great variety without trying to do too much or being spread too thin. The wine list is serious, they have Camden lager on draught and I can’t wait to return with some friends one evening, and try more of their zanier dishes; using espresso mole, cassava and of course the tempting fried chicken with watermelon, amongst many others. Bravo!
the meal was delicious; generous portions, fresh produce, a genuine understanding of flavours and textures that work harmoniously on a plate.
I shared the baked eggs for two and they came served with a tomato and pepper ragout and greek yoghurt with chorizo (£18). This was a very filling and satisfying dish, with the runny egg yolks, creamy yoghurt, flavoursome chorizo and ragout coming together, to produce some kind of awesome. As it was quite a gloopy dish and didn’t come with toast we had to order some for an extra £2.50 which seemed a bit steep.
I had to try to the Peanut Butter & Blue Cheese Wontons, containing two of my favourite flavours together inside a crispy wonton sounds like my kind of heaven. You may be sceptical but these were amazing.
They’re blooming at pimping out dishes you’d make at home, pushing them way beyond the boundaries of what a Sunday morning hangover normally allows you to create. They pimped out beans on toast by serving homemade chilli beans, a chunk of melted goats cheese and a runny fried egg (£9). I couldn’t resist the chorizo so added a side of the stuff for a slightly expensive but very worth it £4. T
There is definitely a whole lotta food love in this place, it's a journey of many cultures, gastro-clashes and culinary mash-ups if there ever was. And it all works, which is why my heart (and tummy) swells with excitement when I recall our visit to this Exmouth Market newcomer. How can I describe it? Since identifying the tapas trend in London, I see it going a step further. Caravan has a distinct influence of Chinese and African influence to the little and wholesome dishes it churns out. It's real talent to bring a unique take on such well-known and familiar dishes. Too many places in London have tried to "re-invent" a cuisine, only to d
The Caravan fitout is a bit rustic, a bit industrial and a touch eclectic. The service counter is made up of sanded scaffolding planks and above it hangs a line of glass recycled cow milk bottles used as light shades
I suspect I’ll have eaten my way round it come summer.
Caravan has recently opened on Exmouth Market (one of my favourite London streets) with Miles Kirby from Marylebone gem The Providores at the helm.
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Caravan. Apart from saying the same as everyone else that it is great. We hit Caravan around noon on a fine Sunday. The sun was out, the sky was blue and freshness was in the air. A glorious day. The indu
The Caravan, which occupies a strategic location at the mouth of Exmouth Market, was one of the few places that were opened on the Bank holiday. The others are Nero, Starbucks and probably Strada. Even Necco’s doors were shut. Probably because of that, th
There's a band wagon, I'm on it. Everyone hearts Caravan , I've not read 1 bad review so I pretty much knew I would love it. Last weekend, accompanied by the girls, I brunched and it was honestly one of the best brunches I can ever remember having. No que
Quality food and drink with a seasonal ethos. Coffee roasted in the basement is served along side a menu of fresh seasonal ingredients. The food is high quality as is the presentation, good selection of alcohol and great service.

I went to Caravan after hearing rave reviews about its brunch menu. The place has very much a bar feeling about it and as a setting is perhaps slightly more suited to the evening, although I haven’t tasted the dinner menu.
Food- The food here although tasty erred on being slightly style over substance. The menu is exciting to look at with offerings such as French toast with bacon, maple syrup and avocado, spicy breakfast tortillas and pancakes as well as the usual breakfast fare. Perhaps I ordered wrong, but I was disappointed with my smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast; the one slice of toast which held the dish together was tiny and the scrambled eggs themselves were mediocre so did not make up for the small portion size. My friend had the French toast which was a lot more impressive, as it came with American style bacon and maple syrup that looked and tasted great with the accompanying guacamole.
I will definitely return for dinner or drinks as the alcohol menu was extensive and filled with delicious looking cocktails.
Famous for it's coffee I naturally started the meal with an espresso martini and was not disappointed. I enjoyed most of the dishes ordered,don't get the duck salad. All in all so nice wish I had left room for dessert.
If u are on the Exmouth corner....dont hesitate to go to this place....becoz the food here is divine....The best tym is goin on a early afternoon for a good Sunday Brunch...
The best part about this place is that they give u blankets when u r sitting outside...Its comfy and warm and it makes u feel gr8...The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is gr8 (nothing out of the ordinary, but not disappointing either).
The menu is great and the prices are affordable...dont hesitate in trying the pancakes...you'll like them....and dont forget to try Ham Hock Hash....

I love this place for a brunch on the week end. I had the couscous and it was gorgeous. The staff is friendly and the area is great. The first time I went it was just because there were a lot of people and the menu looked good. Since then I have come back many times. You will not be disappointed by the food or the atmosphere. Impress your friends with this brunch paradise.
Caravan! Great little place at the corner of Exmouth market. If exmouth market was a cake, Caravane would be its cherry. I dont want to get too excited about this place but i would say its definitely worth the trip. Best time to go is in the morning or early afternoon as they serve a great brunch menu. I went for the eggs and salmon, a fantastic light dish. very simple. Service is great and very friendly. Little touch that caravane has is the blankets for when you sit outside. one can only respect that. Interior atmosphere and space is also very cosy.
my advice: if ever on exmouth market, don't hesitate.
Enjoy!
Probably my favorite brunch spot in London. The food at caravan is divine. The baked eggs with vegetable ragout, mint yogurt and sourdough bread is spectacular. For those with a sweet tooth, the orange infused pancakes are also delicious. This place is laid-back and unpretentious; the focus very being the food.
The interior is nothing special; the kind of industrial chic that is so common especially in east London now. I often sit outside even during winter to beat the queues for a table inside and the staff provide you with blankets. This along with a hot chocolate or coffee usually keeps me warm enough.
The staff are super friendly and efficient. I would recommend this place to everyone. Perfect for weekend brunching.
Caravan is a nice & good quality restaurant located on Exmouth Market, in Farringdon. I often go there for brunches at the weekends. The Ham Hock Hash is especially divine. Soft and filling, it is the perfect combination when associated with a fresh coffee. The staff is competent and prices are affordable. Covers provided if you want to be seated outside.
Ham hock hash... ham hock hash...
There are very little other businesses specialised in breakfast that can compete with what happens when the chef at Caravan makes his ham hock hash.....
Exmouth Market offers a variety of great food options, all to varying success. However you don't need to go anywhere else for breakfast, Caravan has everything you're looking for at 12 on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Great food in a well presented restaurant, with a urban industrial feel. Try their delicious small plates or their brunch. And don't forget to show up early at the weekend because this place gets really busy.

With wide floor to ceiling windows overlooking the food stalls of the bustling Exmouth Market, Caravan Exmouth Market is intimate and has an element of industrialism with its interesting furniture and mugs and units. The service was friendly and helpful and gave off a very trendy vibe. The menu was small but tasty and had a good range and had something to suit everyone. The coffee itself is the star of Caravan and is well worth a visit.
I love this place. The breakfast is always phenomenal but today I tried lunch... This was absolutely wonderful. Being able to sit outside and soak up the sun whilst lunching was divine. The waiters were wonderful with a smile plastered on their faces with friendly banter and good recommendations on the dishes. 10 out of 10! Can't wait to go back.
Lovely breakfast/brunch place. The food is really good and the menu is very diverse for different tastes and dietary requirements. The prices are okay for the quality of food. We had the baked eggs which was super delicious! Their coffee is also top. Their outdoor seating is also really nice during the summer time. Highly recommended!
Caravan never disappoints!! the shakshouka was so lovely with a depth of flavour - and such a generous portion as well! the vanilla pancakes were so good too. the mocha was one of the better ones i’ve had :)
After spending a weekend in London, on the last morning, we decided to have breakfast at Caravan Exmouth Market. It was very close to the bus stop, so perfect location for us. The staff greeted and welcomed us, offering to keep our luggage on a side while we're at the table. It was a great experience, lovely and perfectly done poached eggs. I believe they came from a farm, because they were very nutritious and even it looks like a small portion, together with the sourdough bread, it kept us full for a long while. A really cosy and chic place to enjoy a meal.
Caravan always produces such incredible flavours. So fresh and unusual. With really generous portions. And lovely staff. I ordered vegan so i could share with my friend - who said it's the best vegan food in town - if that is useful info. Otherwise check out the cod dumplings - stunning! Love this place.
Nice breakfast/brunch place on the corner street in Exmouth Market. While the market street was quiet on the Sunday we visited, this cafe was vibrant and busy inside. There’s good selection of breakfast and brunch options on their menu and we had the pancakes and the chorizo with potatoes, poached eggs and spinach and both were delicious. Their coffee was really nice too.
Really enjoyed a beautiful brunch here, coffee was lovely, food was amazing and service was brilliant. Will definitely be back.
Food is healthy and nicely presented. Lovely, friendly service as well. I ordered the halloumi large plate salad which was delicious. My friend ordered the salmon dish which he liked but probably at a 4 rather than 5* level.
We went there for brunch on a Sunday morning (Best to book in advance). Nice food and lovely atmosphere!

Really enjoyed our Saturday dinner at Caravan. I really like their creative twist on the menu. Their pan fried sea bass is especially good. The staff was very accommodating and swapped my friend’s dish for another one at her request as it wasn’t clear from the menu if it was served cold or hot.
Great choice of food and cocktails. Excellent friendly and speedy service. Great if you're at the theatre. Recommend the aubergine bhaji, comes with all sorts of great accompaniments. Salmon and avocado rice bowl was great too.
I’m not a “brunch” person, but I tried this place out since it’s popular for brunch and ordered the bacon chop, bubble and squeak fritters that comes with poached eggs. It was simply incredible. Bacon was cooked to perfection and the fritters went perfect well with it. I like how the menu states the calories.
Good service and strong cocktails. Can’t comment on the ambience because we sat outside. Would definitely re-visit.
Edit: I re-visited Caravan for brunch and ordered the fried jalapeño cornbread. It tasted pretty good, but nothing compared to the bacon chop (didn’t look as nice either). I still stand on the 5 stars though.
Called in for Brunch while travelling across London. Great little spot with outside seating. Ordered the Chorizo and potato hash with a coffee and fresh fruit smoothie. Lots of options to choose from on the menu and staff were pleasant. Would definitely eat here again if I'm ever in the capital. Vegan and vegetarian friendly.
Almost perfect! I went last Sunday for brunch, the vegan option (in the picture, don't remember the name) was amazing! The only thing was hot chocolate has milk so it was not vegan friendly ;( coffee was good I had (2) Cappuccino. Service was good and we ate outside. I highly recommend this place to go!! 🌟🔥 Definitely coming back soon!!
I wanted to leave a quick review after we dropped in for lunch, and I had the seasoned rice bowl with crispy tofu - my god. It was so good. Please keep this on the menu! I felt so nourished afterwards. Then, the server brought out the cookbook so we could have a poke through. Just a really nice time, I’ll come back to Exmouth more often now.
Lovely brunch! Would happily go again
Food & service were both great, and they've got a large variety of well crafted options, both for drinks and for food. The food was great, aaaalmost 5 stars although I'd need slightly more to give it that 😋 the dishes lacked a tiny touch to bump it up
With that being said I still highly recommend and you wouldn't regret going there the slightest
This establishment is concerned more with looks than taste. I ordered the breakfast, however the eggs were overdone and the toast was soggy. I got a small amount of ketchup -- like a tablespoon. Then i was charged £20. PLUS a tip -- they didn't ask, they just added it. When you have to pay £20 plus tip for a less than perfect breakfast then something is wrong. Having said that, the food was above average and the service good. This place has a high rating on google. Like supposedly one of the best in the City. i expected more.
Popped in for a coffee. It had a good lively atmosphere at the restaurant. The staff were friendly. Did not eat here so cannot comment on prices.
