London is no stranger to the ‘restaurants on converted barge boats’ sub-genre but of all the city’s boat restaurants Caravel is definitely the best looking inside – a smart, dimly lit space with white tablecloths and wooden floors that just happens to be on a boat. The duo behind Caravel are brothers Finn and Lorcan Spiteri, whose dad John Spiteri most recently opened Sessions Arts Club, and there’s almost a similar atmosphere here at Caravel despite the very different settings. It’s an absolute ideal date night spot. The food is simple but well executed with a hearty dollop of fun too – think duck croquettes shaped like ducks, prawn toast spiked with chilli and lime, chicken liver pate served with slices of brioche toast and pickles, pressed lamb with sprouting broccoli and anchovy, and a delightfully retro wobbly rhubarb jelly with Chantilly cream and honeycomb.
