Peckham restaurant for Saturday date night

[treehugger]

I am a bit bored of the restaurants in LL and want to investigate what's going on in Peckham. I like Pedlar and Mr Bao. I think there are quite a few new places. Can I have some EDF recommendations for a night out with my husband?

[snathani]

Not new, but... http://www.ganapatirestaurant.com/

This place is relatively new and was amazing when I ate there a few weeks ago. It also does an excellent bacon butty in the mornings https://www.coalroomspeckham.com/

Artusi https://artusi.co.uk/ very good if you like Italian food

[landellsrd]

my favourite is the Begging Bowl on Bellenden Road.

I buy a takeaway in Voodoos and then treat it like a bar (it's got a real big bar).

[edcam]

Artusi and Forza Win are fantastic.

[redjam]

Would second the Coal Rooms. Literally had one of the most delicious meals of my life there. Though you do have to practically step over lots of homeless people on the way out (it's right in the station) which makes you feel a bit wretched when you're stuffed to the gills with beautiful food...

Peckham Bazzar brilliant!

Peckham has much better choice of resturants than LL

[Jules-and-Boo]

Peckham completely beats LL

VoodooRay is half price on Monday too

[mancity68]

Meet District is always good, less fancy than Coal Rooms and Artusi though.

[Blah Blah]

Taco Queen is one of our favs. Great cocktails and very reasonably priced food. Always full.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Peckham Bazaar. Seconded, or thirded..

McDonalds open till late.

Voodoo Ray was a disaster when we went in the first week. Nowt wrong with a few teething problems but it was the shrug of the shoulders that got me, the long queues and the poor information on the menu (most things were off). Only stayed because it was half price. Anyway, trendy place, will be successful, what do I an old timer know?

The taco place next to the pub is good, but not up market.

My recent experience is that everything is booked well in advance.

Of course the Peckham Levels is the place to be - so successful that they were running out of food on opening weeks (but far more forgivable than Voodoo)

Bar story makes sense but don't think does food late, and the Brick Brewery is Ace but being refurbed I think and again doesn't do late food.

I am known for jibes at LL expense but on this occasion justified. There is a separate question about lack of diversity in the restaurants in what still is a diverse area but that is for another thread.

[malumbu]

Oh and fack McDs. Been in one three times in 25 years and proud of that, it has its uses eg for the toilet and a cup of tea when abroad.

[Nigello]

Why are you proud of only going in McD's for one purchase of a tea? I am not a fan boy, but I recognise that its size and influence allows it to preach best practice, in terms of training, organic/local (ie. British) sourcing, consistency of standards, etc. etc. I have never had a bad time in McD's and often I am pleased with its food, its staff and its standards. (I go about four or five times a year, mainly for breakfast, FWIW.)

Back on track, I think Franklin's has to be the standout place in and around EDF-Land.

[malumbu]

Cultural imperialism. I am sure you can say the same about Starbucks, Pret and all the rest. What gets me is the brand loyalty (or perhaps it is simple familiarity), we have to have Pret's on either side of the street to save people having to cross the road. Anyway it has its uses, in Budapest where I struggled to get a decent cup of tea and needed a wee. I am sure there are plenty of counterarguments but la la le la la, I am not listening.

Now where can I best buy that specialist gadget. No I don't want to go to the specialist shop when I can get it from Amazon....

Over attentive with me if anything and quiet when I went for a takeaway and pint at the bar there :)

I don't go anywhere when they've just opened - not an early adopter of restaurants.
