StraferJack Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 depends on what you mean by expensive of course - but my recommendation would beMagdalen Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17693-good-not-too-expensive-restaurants-in-london-bridge/#findComment-442455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankito Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Magdalen is nice but I think you need to book in advance as it is tres popular. Pop down Bermondsey Street where you will find loads of cool eateries. My all-time favourite there is Village East.

Marmora Man Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 As has been said by StraferJack - depends what you mean. However, I've always found TAS restaurants reliably well priced with good food - suitable for family outings, pre / post theatre or cinema suppers etc.There's one on Borough High St down from London Bridge.

KidKruger Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 There's a Chinese down Borough High St from London Bridge, about 200-300 yards, just walk past the George and keep on until you see the restaurant on your left.It's 'good' in the sense of food, not 'good' in the sense of being flash.

kpc Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Brindisa is excellent for tapas - not necessarily the cheapest though.Brindisa Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17693-good-not-too-expensive-restaurants-in-london-bridge/#findComment-442608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBen Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Brindisa is a great choice from KPC. Buzzy, bustling place. You may have to wait for a table but grab a glass of vino at the bar. And don't ask for Calamari - it's their "thing" that they don't do it...not sure why.Cheap and cheerful option is Alma's Pizzeria which does good pizza and pasta fare all for less than a tenner.

Willard Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Why not get a Taste card? Free 30 day trial and then 50% off or 2 4 1's in loads of restaurants...TastecardJust enter Post code in the search bar...quite a few options round there.

trizza Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Black and Blue in borough market is decent and won't break the bank - nice tuna and burgers, but steak is never as good as it should be.Garrison on Bermondsey street is far better than Village East IMHO and has a great atmosphere. If you want steak then Constancia (Argentinian) on Tower Bridge Road (5/10 walk to LB) is the best in the area hands down and more reasonable than Gaucho. Magdalen is great and you'll be fine getting in on a Monday evening.

RosieH Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just opened to quite the hype and haven't been yet so no idea if it's any good, but Jose Pizarro (former Brindisa guy) on Bermondsey Street sounds fabulous. The razor clams in particular are exciting me.It looks a good place to stop in on a Bermondsey pub crawl.

trizza Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Good call RosieH - Tapas on Bermondsey Street looks great, but it was so busy on Friday I didn't even dare try. May well be doable on a Monday though...

Twirly Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'd second Mamora Man's suggestion of Tas - love their food, and it's great whether you've got vegetarians, pescetarians or hardened carnivores in the party. Something for everyone.

emc Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am ashamed to say I couldn't go in the end....babysitter let me down at last minute..BUT, all suggestions noted - did do Black and Blue last year and it was great.

Huguenot Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Is the Anchor and Hope still any good? Used to be mind blowing - but not the cheapest.

StraferJack Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yes it's still goodBut yes it's still near Waterloo not LB Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17693-good-not-too-expensive-restaurants-in-london-bridge/#findComment-443119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 According to Google Earth it's 3/4 of a mile from London Bridge, so a 15 min walk I guess. Not so far.I used to go there and then wander back to LB without much of a concern.

StraferJack Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Oh it's Nae bother to me either and I'd happily schlep alongBut in my experience, other people, especially relatives aren't so sanguineNot that I know relatives are involved...
