A new concept of globe-spanning flavours from the team behind Caravan
When Kiwi trio Laura Harper-Hinton, Chris Ammermann and Miles Kirby opened their Exmouth Market café, Caravan, back in 2010, it proved phenomenally successful – a revelatory brunch destination. Since then they've expanded across London, and even run their own 'croissanterie'. But, deciding against just continuing the winning formula they've given things a new spin with their latest project – described as no-boundary dining. Their sixth restaurant, and first West London outpost, Vardo is just off the King's Road, set in a doughnut-shaped building smack in the middle of Duke of York Square. Retractable glass walls create an alfresco feel even in winter, and the structure is topped by a garden. The name is inspired by the travelling Romani wagons of the 19th century and expands the Caravan theme of collecting influences from all over the world, prepared with locally sourced produce. Inside, it's cosy, the glass walls giving the impression of dining directly in the square, and tables and banquettes are spaced at exactly the right distance from each other – close enough to take a peek at other people's order, far enough so you can hold your own conversation without being distracted by others. |
