We love il giardino in Peckham - not fancy and very kitch but we like it!

Cocktails and a grown up film at the Ritzy? We usually can't make it past 10pm so meal and cinema almost impossible. A friend goes to queens way cinema (u think that's the one) where you can have a meal whilst watching a film. Would also recommend Young Vic for a play and a drink and bar snacks.

Camberwell: FM Mangal, Silk Road, Camberwell Arms, Crooked Well (both of the last 2 do amazing cocktails)

Peckham: Artusi, Refreshment Rooms, Ganapati (all preceeded by or followed by drinks at Montpelier). I also second Il Giardino.

East Dulwich - Franklins, the French place opposite the Co-op, Toast-ed

Brockwell lido cafe is lovely of an evening if it's warm

[StraferJack]

are people doing it deliberately now?

Most of the non-ED places are as easy to get to, granted but..

The clincher to the original question is "Without breaking the bank" -so we can only guess how much is in teh bank

But in ED places break down into "pricey but not mega bucks" like ToastED, Franklins, Palmerston, mid-range (most other places incl curry houses etc) or Favourite chicken

Always have a soft spot for Franklins but reality is that on rare occassins we got to go out in ED, without kids, in the evening, it was Palmerston

[snowboarder]

It's mybe not an ideal 'date' night place as I think it's mostly communal tables, but I really liked the French House cafe - felt really relaxed....and is in ED!!

Could also try Barcelona tapas bar (not sure if still technically ed but yummy tapas).

A cheap and cheerful option is Mr Liu-I feel like

I'm abroad in that place, don't know why!

Or any of the others already mentioned...

Palmerston has always been great when we've been.

Belair House is lovely. Went a few weeks ago with my partner. They also do a 10% discount card for locals (we don't have one so not sure how you get it)
