New restaurant

[Ted Max]

Louisa's

[Louisa]

Excellent choice Ted Max. If that name is chosen do we get to share the winnings?

I'm thinking of famous Dulwich residents of the past, Enid Blyton for example, maybe go down that route? 'Blytons'.

I like Matty Love's suggestion.

Other options on this theme would be:

Dilwihs (the original name for Dulwich)

Meadow (Dulwich means Marshy Meadow)

Sezz (a play on SE22)

[StraferJack]

Restaurants with z's in them a complete no no

Thanks for that, zizzis

[Jeremy]

We really have to rule out anything which is French sounding, vaguely ironic, or includes part of the address.

[EDOldie]

How about La viande et deux legumes, I always thought that would be good for a french restaurant.

Hazle+Alex, please, please, pleeeeeease choose Matty's suggestion above. It's brilliant. I love Dill for a restaurant name here esp as its a nod to the origins of how Dulwich was named.

(ahem...and there's an LL in it and you happen to be on LL which is a common abbreviation for it on here) :))

Very best of luck with new venture.

I really like The Green Goose.....for what It's worth!

eeks...didn't see that one earlier, Green Goose IS a good name. "fancy a glass of wine at GG's this eve?" "don't mind if I do"...:)

What's wrong with Zizzi SJ? Delicious fresh food at a reasonable price.

[DrinkingBuddy]

If it's a sister to soif how about faim?

. . . or for a Dulwich connection Pickwicks?

[StraferJack]

You can do MUCH better than that Louisa

(have you seen the price they charge for cheese on toast???)

[Bellenden Belle]

Another vote for Dill - short, snappy, relevant- what more could you ask for?

[PSJ]

I like Matty's suggestion, but in practice might get awkward. "What do dill do?"

Could spin on it with something like "Dilly-dally". I doubt that fits with the more formal nature.

But I'm liking lots of the suggestions I'm seeing.

SJ stop trying to hijack the thread by going off topic ;-)

Louisa.

[Louisa]

Dilwihs, Dylways, Dullag, and may come from two old English words, Dill, a white flower, and wihs, meaning a damp meadow, giving a meaning of "the meadow where dill grows".

It's relevant, snappy and historical all in one. Excellent suggestion by Matty. My vote goes to that too.

Louisa.

[EDOldie]

How about the Groves or Between the Groves?

[Strawbs]

I love the idea of 'Nosh' as someone suggested earlier. A play on 'goose green' suggestion - how about 'The Goose'.. catchy!

[the-e-dealer]

A bit of a Do in Dulwich ? Therefore Dill Do?

[Siduhe]

Nosh doesn't work. Trust me. Even Giles Coren knows that...

[*Bob*]

Zildo?

[Louisa]

Is Dildo not a trademark?
