Shrimpy’s restaurant is located in just about the coolest setting you could imagine. Set behind a huge facade, branded The Filling Station in Kings Cross, overlooking Regents Canal. But then again, given that its the sister restaurant to the infamous Bistrotheque, you’d expect nothing less. Shrimpy’s although small, is equally as quirky as the Bethnal Green powerhouse, but will all of its own distinctive charm.
The menu boasts a Latin American influence with a hint of Argentine and Peruvian tastes. Be sure not to miss the soft shell crab burger, beautifully braised octopus and mouthwatering chocolate brownie ice cream sundae.
