El Camino Bistro bringing Mediterranean flavours to Derby

El Camino Bar Cafe by day, restaurant and cocktail bar by night, from the duo who brought you the Lonely Boy Bar.

But this time, we’ve gone bigger, bringing together an incredible team of people we trust. With over 50 years of combined experience in hospitality, Ellis leads the cafe, Taxi runs the bar, and Kelley heads up the kitchen, each bringing their own passion and craft to El Camino.

BarInspired by holiday bistros, mediterranean cafes and our favourite restaurants from the UK & Europe, our menu celebrates fresh, seasonal produce through vibrant small plates designed for sharing and tasting. From a buttery croissant and coffee in the morning to a lively evening of Mediterranean-style small plates and specialist cocktails.With a menu that changes with the seasons, there’s always something new to discover, whether you’re here to drink, dine, unwind, or work.

El Camino Bar is more than a meal, it’s a relaxed, stylish experience to enjoy great food, drinks, and good company.

Evening Dress Code

As the sun sets, our bistro takes on a more refined feel.

We invite guests to dress with a little care — think smart-casual rather than sporty or workwear.

Please avoid tracksuits or overly casual sportswear in the evening.

Smart jeans, shirts, dresses, and relaxed tailoring are all perfectly welcome.

Our evenings are about good food, good wine, and good company — so dress comfortably, feel at ease, and help us keep the atmosphere special.
