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.

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
