There's a mobile creperie in Hampstead that regularly has massive queues.


With Hampstead being everything most in East Dulwich want to be, I could see it working here too.

Creperie is a great idea.


Or how about a bagel restaurant? In Charlottesville Virginia USA, a university town that's culturally very like East Dulwich*, they have a restaurant called Bodo's Bagels. For years Bodo's has been THE place that folk like to meet to eat.


* Full of professionals, young-ish, strong community spirit, centre of town full of restaurants, lots of trees...etc.

Wagamama - rubbish.

ping pong - microwave food?

M&S - don't you think they are seriously overpriced? you can cook a similar dish for the same price but double the portion.

yo sushi - people have been to Japan would know how much a plate of salmon sushi cost in a similar style restaurant. Why do you want to pay ?3 for a plate of warm fish on rice stayed on the belt for > 3hours? The real sushi is in Camden (Asakusa)


I have enough of those 'upmarket' restaurants with poor quality of food. They stole the idea overseas and then repackage so they can charge more. I just want a decent meal that is honest and authentic.

I think a cr?perie (mobile or not) is a great idea! I have coeliac condition (an intolerance to gluten) so if anyone does run with this, can you make the savoury galettes out of buckwheat flour like they do in most authentic cr?peries in France?!


Cheers!

And personally I'd kill for a decent "proper" Mexican restaurant. Not the typical Tex-Mex joint! If it were good, it would make ED a destination venue for it; there are lots of foodie websites out there bemoaning the lack of a good Mexican in London. Mestizo (www.mestizomx.com) is, I think, the closest there is - though I've heard good things about Green & Red (http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/reviews/10974.html).

Agree with most other choices:


Sushi

Seafood

Noodles (not a chain like Waga's)

Creperie (yum yum - although NOT like My Old Dutch - great disappointment)


No-one has suggested a pie, mash and eel shop.............. what about our London 'roots'?


And please please please NOT a Giraffe...........

Well we have a cajun/soul food place on Grove Vale and I'd say it's been there more than 10 years. Best Caribbean food takeaway for miles and frequented by all nationalities. It the guy made it into a restaurant more in the 'heart' of East Dulwich along Lordship Lane, he'd do well.

    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
