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 have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
