What's a semi-formal dining concept?


It all seemed very informal to me, including stools at the window, and mostly snacky things :)

Its less formal than a traditional formal dining concept but more formal than a shack serving take-out street food which is what Bao is traditionally. I'd say it's a pretty accurate description of Mr Bao.

Went to Cravings last night - lovely food - not crazily gourmet but super friendly service and good prices for what you're getting. The tacos were a highlight. We sat in as we were going to the quiz at the White Horse next door after and the ambience was a bit too brightly lit but its a takeaway affairs mostly so don't think you can really complain.

Yeah Cravings isn't "gourmet" as such, it's pretty "rustic" type stuff but it's pretty decent. The cheese stuffed arepas and the deep fried things (tostadas?) were my favourites.


They don't help themselves with the lighting/music/decor, but I would probably not eat in anyway.

I think (from another thread?) it is also selling wholesale hair salon products?

  • 3 weeks later...

When they announced the opening on Twitter they said it would be a long while before it opened. I'm not sure why. Perhaps they need to prepare planning documents or something.

    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
    • Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.
    • Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.
    • Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
