Good food...

[Strawberryfields]

Hi all,

I'm new to the area and need to take the visiting family out for lunch on Sunday, any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Ta, :)

The Greyhound in Dulwich village, Franklins in Lordship Lane Mirash by Goose Gree or Surma in LL. Also Sema Thai in LL.

[18 Barry]

welcome to the area. I'd also vote the Greyhound for a Sunday feed...

[DrinkingBuddy]

Greyhound is a nice pub but the food is average at best. Would go for Franklins.

[RosieH]

Franklins or the Palmerston for a great roast.

[StraferJack]

Two recommendations for the Greyhound? I'm speechless

A stunning pub and great in many ways but the food is identikit Mitchell & Butler "fayre" - just blandalanda pap

If you go to the Greyhound you will either:

a) enjoy the food and be dead to me

b) wonder why anyone would recommend such dullness. And then I will wonder why you ignored advice to the contrary

Franklins and Palmerston remain the best bets for out of towners who want something restaurant quality

More informally, hisar, gowlett and the roast brisket on Sundays at the Florence/Bishop/Vic Inn are solid. And the Mag has upped it's game and sits somewhere in between

But the greyhound in the village? no no no

A group of friends visited the Herne Hill Tavern last Sunday and said it was the best roast around (its run by the same people as the Palmerston). It also has a fantastic beer garden and is very family friendly.

Greyhound does terrible food. Worst Sunday lunch I have ever had in my life, in fact probably the worst meal. I'm amazed to see people recommending it here.

Herne bad in other ways but yes is family friendly, just avoid having any dealings with the manager.

I'd try Franklins or the Mag .....

[Strawberryfields]

Thanks all, looking forward to trying ALL these places... It looks like franklins is a dead cert!

Franklins is great! Always brilliant food and wonderful service too

[Townleygreen]

I have found Joannas in Crystal Palace far better than Franklins in terms of food, ambience and service. No contest. I will, of course, be accused of sacrilege as it is not in ED.

[StraferJack]

Big fan of Joannas here too

Hi Strawberryfields - maybe not for a smart Father's Day lunch, but the Blue Brick Cafe just off Northcross Rd is vegetarian only, and does really good, thoughtfully-cooked, better-than-cafe food.

[Pugwash]

Sunday lunches at Le Moulin are always good in terms of choice, cost and taste.

[honeybee79]

Franklins.

Interested to hear about Joanna's as not heard of it - will def give it a go.

[EmmaDoran]

Another vote for Joanna's - for a special occasion you can see if you can get their private booth.

Montpelier on Choumert Road (so another non-ED recommendation, sorry) does some nice food.

(Edited for bad spelling!)

[Bellenden Belle]

Joanna's is just lovely - definitely my favourite though Franklins is great too.

[Danel_Davis]

I prefer Flanklins. It is very delicious. Any specific kitchen, food variety?

Regards, Danel

The Palmerston do a lovely roast.

You'll need to book well in advance for either Franklins or The Palmerston.

Quite right - old tins of spam can give rise to BOTulism
