Maria's Tortilla - East Dulwich.


Recommended Posts

We went last night just for a glass and a couple of pieces of tapas before heading down the road for drinks. Maria is charming and full of warmth. I hope that people will support it - not as swanky as some of the other restaurants in this foodie part of ED but great intention.

Well, it would be nice, but no! Was thinking of kids tea. The gap at Miss Tapas means it isn?t so practical. Went to Maria?s Tortilla today. It?s nice. Prefer Miss Tapas, but Maria?s is a great addition to Lordship lane and it?s nice to have a different option.

Indeed it is open and it is an excellent bar. Fashioned like a typical Spanish bar, where you have your tapas as a side to your drink, not viceversa!

Glorious tortillas (the original Spanish omelette with several flavours), croquetas, pintxos...Mar?a also a very friendly owner. Worth a visit and repeat.

I?ve added Maria?s Tortilla to Tripadvisor as its a welcome addition to the lane and the more places its mentioned that people might look the more chance it has of being there in the future when we want to go again. If you can add reviews to the Tripadvisor entry that would be good - new places are mentioned on the forum but then threads are not updated and it gets difficult to find out about them. Here?s what we thought of it.


?This is a bar not a restaurant and less foodie than recent additions to Lordship Lane. It?s good at what it does.


Like most places on Lordship Lane it?s small. There are three low tables, three or four high tables for two and seats at the bar.


There are drinks menus on the table and the food - tapas and pinxos- is written on a blackboard at the end of the bar. There is a good selection of wine by the glass.


Tortilla was so good we finished it so quickly Maria thought we hadn?t had it. The sauce on the Patatas bravas was quite smoky. Pisto (ratatouille) had too much tomato for us.


A welcome addition and Maria was very friendly. Prices reasonable for tapas. Dishes ?2.50 for an individual snack, ?4-?6.50 for a tapas to share.


We?ll be back?

A shout out for the excellent Maria's Tortilla. Dropped in for the first time yesterday and definitely intend to go often! My glass of wine was delicious, so was my plate of food, and good value too. Also a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Fully recommend it...

    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you! 
    • Good to hear Sue - I  love Franklin’s  Although to be fair it would be a mad world where decades old local institution couldn’t do much better than (gawd help us all) a generic Youngs pub  (I had better meals in that place when it was the vale and ran by the Murphia. And that was fairly poor food even then )
