I havent really experienced the full range of ED restaurants. The blessed Mother arrives on Monday and I would like to take her to an ED restaurant. Noting too posh, Mothers methodist upbringing would not approve.


Easy walking distance of home (by Goose Green).


Ta!

I'll never forget dad-in-law coming with us to The Bishop on New Years Day - a born and bred Mail reader he survey the scen and declared "So this is what the chattering classes are like"


on a Monday night the restaurant scene will be wide open. From your description I would possibly recommend Le Moulin - French name but plenty of good honest grub my Mum would love too - very unpretentious


Possibly too far up LL? What type of food would she prefer?

Darling Mr SeanMacGabhann,


It really sounds as though you know your stuff! I think you should be the resident food critic for the entire forum - with regular reviews published on your very own thread. Obviously this would involve lots of free meal opportunities...

cough.. straight out of left field, a compliment thrown my way. By none other than....DM herself. I need say no more and content myself that this day will get no better.


I don't know if I know my stuff... I don't seem to be able to even type properly these days.


Back in the day, I had a very similar idea (reviews etc) and created a whole 12k of HTML code that led to


www.timamansio.com


It didn't look like that - that's an update I did this week just to appease a mate who NEVER stops bugging me about it

So I put a link to this place (far better) on the page and a vague teaser


I am however, an inveterate procrastinator (Chuir ar an m?ar fada ?)so whether anything will happen remains to be seen

Oy! Back on topic the lot of you! How dare you question proclivities on a thread about the blessed Mother.


So far only Sean has come up with sensible suggestions. Given the fact that I know you are a bibulous crew I cannot believe that an encyclopedic knowledge of LL eateries is beyond our collectve ken.


:))

Only been to Le Chardon once. Service was indeed bad. Starters were all but finished by the time the wine arrived, despite asking a number of times. Similar number of requests and wait for the bill too.


Food was.. 'ok'...


Maybe they were having an off day.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
