Wow!! This beautifully constructed menu is well worth a try. In fact those that don't go are well and truly missing out. I visited spinach for its soft opening on Wednesday and sampled some (quite a few) of what this exciting menu had to offer. i think I've stumbled across my new favourite south London restaurant! Between the intriguing wine selection and the incredible dishes that are on offer I'd find a harder spot to rival this new restaurant in east dulwich. I'm not a creature of habit by nature, far from it however I think I'm going to be a staple regular at the delicious new home from home. Can't wait for my next visit.

Wow - sounds brilliant - but I really detest spinach. Puts me right off.

That's put me right off!

"Wow!! This beautifully constructed menu is well worth a try. In fact those that don't go are well and truly missing out.

If you negate it, it reads:

"Jeezus!! This terribly put together 'menu' is just not worth the bother. In fact those who do go are well and truly wasting their time. I visited spinach for its soft opening on Wednesday and sampled some (quite a few) of what this boring menu had to offer. I know I've stumbled upon a terrible south London restaurant! Between the predictable wine selection and the average dishes on offer I can easily find a better spot to rival this place in east dulwich. I'm not a creature of habit by nature and I think just as well based on what I've seen. Won't be going there again."


There you are, two ficticious reviews, the truth probably lying somewhere between each extreme.

Oh dear oh dear.


I will feel crushed and devalued eating anywhere else now.

She forgot the obligatory, local paper style review "after our incredible main courses, I was almost too full for dessert. However I just couldn't resist the luscious [insert food item here]".

Good one!

We've just had a lovely brunch at Spinach. Welcoming, friendly staff (unlike the previous establishment) and a mixed crowd. Much lighter and feels like there's more space than Le Chandeier which I always found quite oppressive. Interesting menu with some more and less usual offerings in the veg and egg space. The opportunity to add meat sides is a bonus (for a family of meathead boys). Given its only day two of brunch service the timing and quality of the output was impressive. Would encourage people to get behind them and give it a whirl.
Katanita - whether the original effusive post was authentic or not, we had a great time and will definitely be back. Think we should be giving new independents the benefit of the doubt and local support - lest we be inundated with anymore chain burger restaurants - and that's coming from someone who was quite excited about the arrival of Meat Liquor....

Yep.. especially when it comes from a first time poster.. as soon as the place opens..

Common mistake.. Let us not be too harsh and give Spinach a chance.


Will wait for more feedback then take a look at the Menu before trying.


DulwichFox

They don't have the menu on their website.


At least I couldn't see it.


Would be helpful to get an idea of kind of food and price. Even if it was just a sample menu.


Though I too was put off by what appeared to be a fake review by a first time poster who has not posted anything since.


Why oh why do people do this?

Yes .. Not much of a website.. Menu would be useful

I went to Spinach on Friday night with a friend, and I thought it was great!

The interior is lovely - whitewashed walls, and lots of greenery? and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

There is a choice of tapas style dished (about ?6 a plate) and main dishes to have yourself?.

My friend and I had 5 sharing dishes between us - which we on;y just managed (eyes bigger then our bellies!) and they were all lovely..

It's not a vegetarian restaurant - but vegetables are a main focus? chicken thigh with squash puree, quails scotch eggs in variety of veggie coatings, prawns with amazing herbs?.

Lovely wine list too

Don't be put off by the 'fake' reviewer?.

I'll definitely be heading back - it's a great addition to the Lane

    • Hello My husband bought and sold CDs but is no longer trading. I auctioned off all his collection of records and CDs 2/3 years ago. He had a lot of new CD jewel cases and trays which I’ve been trying to sell off cheaply on this forum… Unsuccessful! I just want them gone now as I was asked by  a shop to count them up and they are cluttering up the hallway. I’ve just had cataract surgery and not advised to lift stuff… I have: 200 CD clear cases with black trays 30 orange CD cases with orange trays  75 black double CD cases with black trays  240 CD clear cases 650 black CD trays  65 clear CD trays Also 3/4 boxes of new DVD cases,  Let me know if you’d like to collect any of the above free. You can give a donation to cancer charity if you like!  kind regards  Eleanor  
    • I’m looking for a smallish fridge freezer for a project, doesn’t need to be working around 4/5ft. Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!! If anyone’s seen any hanging about anywhere or has one they need getting rid of 🙏🙏🙏
    • He’s on the tree trunk outside the groundspeople’s yard - near the car park
    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
