Karpo-licious

I find choosing a restaurant always a gamble. You usually find good and bad reviews for the same place - so, you risk finding out that the bad reviews were closer to the truth after all. So, I was a little apprehensive when booking a table at Karpo. They offer 'modern, Anglo-Italian' food and are situated right opposite King's Cross station.

I was very positively surprised! Decoration is quite quirky and as it was (surprisingly) empty, it was pleasantly quiet (I hate when restaurants get super noisy and you basically have to shout at each other - for some reason that seems the norm in most places in London though...). Service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious! Maybe not the biggest of portions but beautifully presented and seriously yummy. It is definitely going on my list of go-to places!

Salmon and scallops for starters; lamb for main (with an invisible side of crispy potatoes) and Affogato for dessert
