London's best brunches: Caravan City at Bloomberg Arcade
The City of London is getting its buzz back with one of THE most exciting restaurant launches of 2017, Caravan is rolling in to the City of London. There is a real resurgence around the City right now, sparked initially by The Ned opening in May 2017 and now Caravan opening its doors in October. Let the battle of the brunches commence as the all-day-dining market is about to get tasty!
Caravan has been a Londoner's favourite for many years with restaurants already established in Kings Cross, Bankside and of course Exmouth Market. It's easy to see why all Caravan restaurants are an absolute success story. They have all the characteristics of what you should look for when searching for the perfect brunch or all-day-dining establishment. A relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, exceptional coffee, amazing cocktails and I haven't even touched on the menu and the quality of the food yet that combines bold flavours with healthy ingredients. From 7am weekdays you'll be able to sample the newly created breakfast menu put together for Caravan City as well as offering an express take-out option of coffees, smoothies, juices and daily bakes for those of you pushed for time.
But first coffee. How true is that statement! Caravan take their coffee as seriously as their food, if not more so and have created their very own Caravan Coffee Roasters which they even wholesale to other coffee shops around London and the UK. There are rumours they will open their own stand-alone flagship store soon but I'll keep you updated on any developments with that.
As well as catering for all our caffeine needs, Caravan's legendary weekend brunch has also undergone an evolution – sourdough pizza will be on offer from 12 noon and the whole menu is new, except for timeless classics such as baked eggs, avocado on toast and the Caravan fry.
The new site is split across three levels and will accommodate reservations and walk-in guests across two dining rooms and coffee / cocktail bar. A mezzanine space will offer a tranquil spot for laptop workers by day and by night will become a space for private dining, coffee and food masterclasses, demos and a destination for collaboration. A large outside terrace will sit alongside a calming water installation and will be the perfect spot to dine al-fresco in the City.
Caravan City opens its doors on the 2nd October 2017 at 07:00 just in time for the early risers. You can keep updated (via a countdown clock) regarding the launch over on the Caravan Restaurants website.
