Detailed review in today's Sunday Telegraph by Keith Miller.. Liked the restaurant (7/10) but thought that Lordship Lane "retains the rumpled dignity of old newsreel footage",and "gentrification is well advanced (it's well supplied with smallish, handsome and only moderately exorbitant Victorian terrace houses; its train station zips into the City"). Bonne Bouffe " not particularly expensive" at dinner for two ?100! Thought EDF " a Paradiso of unintentional comedy.etc.." Fame indeed.

It's only ?10 - but he actually wrote "?90 for two". And nowadays, sadly, ?45 a head is par for the (London) course at anything with any aspirations to medium or high end. Because of deals (i.e. Tastecard, vouchers etc., lunch time or pre-theatre menus etc.) you can actually normally eat for less - but these are quite common 'headline' costs.

I think the 3 stars are a bit mean, having read the review itself. Surely the stars refer not only to the experience on the night but also to the context - not a flashy West End joint, but a new, small neighbourhood restaurant. Mr Miller concedes in his last paragraph that, for what it is, this place is very good indeed.


Irritatingly wordy and patronising style, and what's the relevance of a coat mix up anyway? I haven't been yet, but now defensively bristling somewhat on la BB's behalf!


"The East Dulwich Forum (a Paradiso of unintentional comedy, a Pillow Book of misplaced amour propre, a Sun Tzu?s Art of War of advanced passive-aggressive techniques)"


Oh please.

Absolutely - especially the "Sun Tzu?s Art of War of advanced passive-aggressive techniques" bit

I agree with this too, however the Telegraph's comment sections are hardly Pullitzer material...

We ate there on Saturday night. It was delicious. Snails, confit de canard, shared tarte tatin and tarte au citron. All delicious. Wine good. Service good. It is quite tightly packed and if you have people leaving and arriving at the same time it is a bit of a bun fight. It's nice that you can sit at the bar and eat too - although that might just have been because it was packed. Decent acoustics too considering the size. Tr?s authentique, merci ? tous.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him

      It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?

      I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
