Before you act on any of the above recommendations, can I suggest you enter their names in the "search" function on this forum.


Many of them have been discussed at length (usually in the ED businesses, restaurants and trades section of the forum) and you will find that many people would disagree with some of the recommendations above, eg Le Chardon and Barcelona to name two.


Have a lovely meal!


If it was me and it was a special occasion and I was feeling a bit flush I'd choose Franklins or Ganapati (for the yummy food), but I wouldn't say either of them had a particularly romantic ambience, if that is what you're looking for.

Surma is my favourite curry house by far in ED. Pretty standard inside, but the food is amazing.


Hisar is great value for money, always busy and the mixed grill is the stuff of legend. We went into Koz the other day too, and it's like an upmarket version of Hisar. A bit more expensive, but delicious food.


However, if you're looking for guinea fowl or ox cheek.... steer well clear

Joanna's is amazing - I always feel like I've stepped into some grand New York Italian restaurant in the 1930's. Very extensive menu (and if you do take the chidren in the future, they are sooo child-friendly offering crayons and a good children's menu) great cocktail bar and you can park behind the restaurant in their car park. Brixton Village is great and a lovley night out but you will have to go early to get a seat anywhere. I recommend the argentinian steak restuarant - but they all look good.


I would save your tapas experiences for the next time you visit Spain. Never had a good one here that didn't disappoint, and/or cost a fortune.

My favourites in Lordship Lane are already well listed - the Palmerston and Tandoori Nights (for their charming and friendly service).

Further afield, what about the Dartmouth Arms at Forest Hill? Good food, good value, great atmosphere.

The Florence in Herne Hill is good, and if you are heading to Brixton but want an alternative to Brixton Village, Upstairs on Acre Lane is sophisticated and friendly. It offers the option of the restaurant or a very cool bar where you can have drinks and snacks.

In the other direction The Orchard in Brockley is lovely, excellent food, trendy, good prices.


What are the Bellenden Rd eateries like? I never think of going there, for some reason.

SLA - I like. good pizzas, shabby chic, nice staff etc.


Victoria - Food very average, in a Bishop kind of a way. Very nice staff. OK booze.


Montpelier - Very good food and beer. Cinema in the backroom. good vibe. Bit more adult than the vic.


Ganapati - Great venue and people speak highly of the food. I quite like it.


The fancy caff's alright if overpriced.


Camberwell's the best place for food around here: Angels, Crooked Well, Mangal; all excellent.

A vote for the East Dulwich Supper Club. Have been working away from home for last few months and missed going. Food is brilliant and by sharing a table you will usually find yourself sitting next to someone interesting. It BYOB so you also get to drink what you like at a price you can afford.

Possibly true, I was thinking the same thing the other day. And even for cheap and cheerful Chinese or Indian food, you can do better in Camberwell than in East Dulwich.

Thanks so much for all the comments. I never expected such a flurry of suggestions. I now have a long list of local places to try. We ended up persuading some Claphamites out of their hood by tales of how good Angels & Gypsies is. I've been there 3 times previously and loved it. However on Friday it was just slightly above average but for the same high prices and I was left with about 4 dishes of EXTREMELY garlicy prawns that I'd raved about to eat all by myself. It's a good job I spend much of the time with the children at home as I stink!

Good afternoon

without a doubt the Si Mangia Ristorante 32 Forest Hill Rd, East Dulwich, SE22 ORR food is 10/10 and they do a deal on saturday where you can get a meal for a around six quid please check out the link below

    • I don't think it is time restricted...the Southwark noise team's website says....(oh and look at the very first item on the list....;-))   Noise issues and nuisances that we can deal with We can help if you're being disturbed by noise coming from: amplified music TV parties nightclubs and pubs including people outside making noise DIY home renovation some construction sites barking dogs alarms / car alarms odours and fumes from commercial properties smoke commercial venues and events dust or noise from some works or equipment in the street fireworks at night from 11pm to 7am - extensions exist for the following festivals: first day of Chinese New Year until 1am the following day on the day of Diwali until 1am the following day New Year's Eve until 1am on New Year's Day 05 November until midnight
    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.
