I went once a few years ago. There was nothing veggie on the menu and when I asked the waitress gave a look of incomprehension and suggested a couple of things which both had fish sauce in them. So I'd make sure what you've been eating is actually vegetarian if I were you! Having said this they could have changed their menu and suddenly educated themselves about what vegetarian food is since I went, but I would be very surprised if this were the case.

TQ you can't take a comment from experience from a few years ago seriously (sorry James!)

Sounds like you're hot on the active side by contacting establishments to find out what's what in advance... good for you!

Mmmm - the saying 'with friends like you' comes to mind. Anyway what is wrong with experimenting and trying different foods from time to time?

Call me a carnivorous bigot, but I've always wondered whether vegans are attention-seeking food faddists. Vegetarians I can understand. I had a vegan friend many years ago who came to stay, and it meant lots of preparation, stocking up on tofu and soya milk, which, by the way, is disgusting. She isn't vegan these days, and admits she was rather demanding.


For me, like the French, Spanish and of course Italians, food is a celebration of life. To forbid oneself one of life's greatest pleasures seems a shame, and an insult to those in the world who cannot pick and choose and go to bed hungry every night.

    • 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" ?
