The Campaner

Barcelona soul and Chelsea heart define The Campaner, a Spanish restaurant that brings the ease and warmth of Mediterranean living to West London. It is the kind of place where the day can drift from tapas in the sun to a long, unhurried dinner, with conversation flowing as easily as the meal.

The kitchen focuses on honest flavour and traditional craft. Paper-thin jamón de jabugo and cecina with fried almonds open the meal, while pan con tomate and fresh-baked bread set a convivial rhythm. Seasonal salad with fig dressing, confit artichokes with romesco, tenderstem broccoli with garlic and chilli, and wild mushrooms enriched with cured egg yolk give vegetables real attention.

Seafood and larger plates continue the thoughtful approach, like the caviar imperial oscietra and pulpo a feira with confit potatoes. Dry-aged beef fillet with pumpkin and chestnut purée, fideuá with chargrilled octopus and samphire, and lobster caldoso rice evoke the spirit of coastal gatherings. Dessert offers comfort with basque cheesecake and silky crema catalana.

Book in, settle back, and let The Campaner transport you to Barcelona by way of Chelsea, no passport needed.
