New restaurant

The double meaning of toasting (as in grilling) and toasting (as in raising a glass) makes it an OK name in my book.


Ultimately we had 10+ pages of people typing the first rubbish that came into their head in the vague hope of a free meal, so don't be surprised if the chosen name isn't exactly brilliant. Garbage in, garbage out.

yep - or Toast meaning 'finished, dead, done for, etc.' as in "That restaurant is Toast."

Well we ate there last night. First impressions are that they've just raised the bar for restaurants in ED. Very short menu, changing daily. Very fresh seafood, lovely meat. Large wine list, and also good value wine on 'tap' (i.e. four huge vats in the dining room). Delicious bread and butter made in-house. Prices were along the lines of Palmerston/Franklins/Crooked Well, which for me makes it somewhere for an occasional treat rather than a regular local. A few things to iron out of course, but it could well become something of a SE London hot spot.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
