Best local restaurant for more special dinner for two

Crooked Well & Franklins & Palmertson offer variations of bistro / gastropub dishes + excellent grog. All three are great.


ToastED is excellent but you may find portions small and the menu can be on the avant garde side. So if either party is looking for a more traditional meal, then you may be disappointed. Equally if you are both adventurous eaters, then ToastED can offer a memorable experience.


Artusi has just made the top 10 restaurants in London list at TimeOut but has a short, focussed menu.

Great if you feel like what they are serving that night... but can be risky if either of you is fussy.

The atmosphere is also very buzzy with closely placed tables - so not ideal for intimate conversations as neighbours will be an elbow's touch away...

Fourth! Amazing.

Also worth noting that Artusi are very willing to create more bespoke dishes if you have allergies or intolerances. So if there is something in a dish that you don't like i'm sure they would be very willing to arrange a dish to suit your needs.
Joanna's (in Crystal Palace - they have a private booth you may be able to book if available), The Crooked Well (if you don't mind a pub - albeit a very nice one), or Artusi. However, as mentioned above, with Artusi you can end up sitting in very close proximity to other diners, although they do have separate smaller tables for couples so might be worth requesting if/when you book.

    • Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.
    • Why did you feel the need to post that? Have you actually read the rest of the thread?
    • He lived in my road, so I bumped into him quite often, but I knew him as Mick, not Mike. We originally met at the opening of The Actress. Crikey, how long ago that seems now. He had a fox in his window 🤣 Not a real one, obviously. I only found out that he had died because I hadn't seen him around for a while,  so I mentioned it  on our road WhatsApp group, and someone on there told me. He had been ill for some time, but he was just in the middle of what must have been extremely expensive private  dental treatment (a lot of implants) so I assume his death was sadly unexpected.
    • Not in the same position but are you able to access the physical meter to take your own readings ? You could do this as frequently as you wanted to. I think TW are rolling out smart meters that don’t need to be physically read by them, and perhaps that’s what you have. I think that TW will only change your monthly direct debit once every 6 months, when you get the official statement.
