Michael Palaeologus Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 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!

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 MikeI'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 unpretentiousPossibly too far up LL? What type of food would she prefer?

dulwichmum Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 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...

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 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 towww.timamansio.comIt didn't look like that - that's an update I did this week just to appease a mate who NEVER stops bugging me about itSo I put a link to this place (far better) on the page and a vague teaserI am however, an inveterate procrastinator (Chuir ar an m?ar fada ?)so whether anything will happen remains to be seen Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/500-where-should-i-take-my-mun-for-dinner-on-monday/#findComment-11358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'd say take your mum to upstairs at the EDT (if it's open that night). Quiet, spacious, not smokey and a decent lamb shank.

Michael Palaeologus Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 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.

Muttley Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 My in-laws' favourite is Franklins, though you sometimes have to look through the menu a couple of times before you find meat that isn't offal (as opposed to awful, which it never is).

benjaminty Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Walk to the Herne on Forest Hill Road ... Palmerston food but at decent prices. Simply cannot be bettered ... and you don't have the the chairs that are way to high for the tables (a la Franklins styleeee - very odd!)

Jah Lush Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Personally I'd take her to Le Chardon. You can't go wrong in there. Lovely grub and good service.

rob Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Chardon, Palmerston, Franklins, Sema Thai - we're really spoiled aren't we? All four of those would provide a very pleasant night out.

*Bob* Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 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.
