very much looking forward to trying it out I have to say...I've lived around here since the late 90s, and I have found myself arranging to do things more locally then I used to, rather than in town, e.g. my birthday this weekend, meeting friends in my local pub saturday night & having sunday lunch with visiting family on the lane...nice to have one more place to go to add to the list (tho the only paper I've read recently is the odd metro on my rare rail commute, so will I be allowed in not having purchased a Guardian ?) Louisa you are the only one banging on about how "guardian readers" want to oppress the lane, no one is saying you have to love a new restaurant, if it's not your preference thats great, don't go, I wouldn't if it wasn't my thing..rather than being personal & derogative about people who might go because of the class bracket you think they are in. Having a different opinion is fine, being insulting isn't & IS trolling.

Benvenuti Burro E Salvia, Its great we have another Italian opening up. Being Italian of course I am going to be biased, however I think the great collection of shops Italian, French, Asian and of course British restaurants is a great testament, to East Dulwich.

Buona Fortuna

Welcome to the area! Any idea of when you might be opening your doors?


And in response to some earlier posts:


Surely it is neither the landlord's nor the new tenant's fault when an old tenant leaves?

Don't quite understand why fingers are always pointed in these directions when a shop closes?

I'm in agreement Otta. I too wish them well, and I'm sure they have done their research on the area before opening up here. Just a bit disappointing that we have more Italian places when the area no longer has anywhere you can get a decent sit down Mexican meal, amongst other world culinary delights.

To be fair, it's not only Louisa / Dulwichfox. When the sweetshop closed, and the dog shop took it's place, (stupid) people said some really harsh things, as if the dog shop owner had personally gone in and trashed the sweet shop business, rather than taking on an available shop.

Haha, I used to LOVE the Tex Mex place, but not sure they ever served anything that could honestly be described as a "decent Mexican meal".


It was bloody great though.

They became a bit of an institution along the lane, I still miss them. If Tortilla or something similar comes to the area I'll be happy. And I agree Otta, LM and others have very short memories when it comes to picking people out of the crowd and accusing them of negativity. My main point is a bit of variety would be nice, I'm not being negative towards these people as I've already said. The negativity towards the new dog shop was hardly welcoming but the folk so willing to attack my opinions on this thread were oddly quiet on that one. Strange.


Louisa.

Right - that's kills it for me - I thought he'd be Italian.


And before anyone takes me literally again ...... don't.

      well - that is disappointing. We know the impact of foreign buyers on the housing market.

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      I much prefer Romeo Jones to >spit< Gail's, but I'm struggling to blame this on the LTN when nothing outside Romeo Jones has changed, the LTN came in 5 (!!!) years ago, and Gail's has queues out the door most days. It also is directly opposite Rocca (which serves coffee and has seating), next door to Porters (which serves coffee and has seating), a few doors along from Real Greek (which serves coffee and has seating), and diagonally across from Gail's (which serves coffee and sells baked goods and has seating). I'll be sorry to see Romeo Jones go (not least because I have a stack of stamped loyalty cards). I don't want to criticise small business owners because it's a tough old racket, but DVillage never really seemed to find its niche either as a proper deli (like La Gastronomia or The Sicilian in West Dulwich) or as a coffee shop (which is difficult when you have Megan's and Redemption right next to you, and Au Ciel around the corner).

      Hopefully we will see something like Melbourne Grove, where all the shops that initially closed after the road closures were then replaced with new ones. I think all the units on that street are now finally open for business.

      Here's a working link: https://www.propertywire.com/news/london/circa-london-partners-with-developer-to-sell-9-6m-dulwich-townhouses-to-far-east-buyers/ I think they look quite nice from the outside which is what matters to me as a member of the public. The indoor floorplan is not to my taste with lots of awkward small floors, but I don't care about the inside as I don't plan on living in them.
