Eating out near Waterloo...

[MrBen]

Uusally it's the London Bridge station area that an annual "where's good to eat" thread all of it's own. Must be the anonymity, windblown and transient nature of anywhere with 3M people passing through daily.

But I'd like any similar suggestions of where's decent (informal is fine) to eat near Waterloo...avoiding south bank and Wahacha I'm pretty much open to anything else.....any ideas?

[Earl Aelfheah]

Canteen, The Green Room OK. There is a new place underneath the NT which 'looks' OK. Depends what you like.

[DaveR]

Masters Super Fish is a cracking fish and chip shop on Waterloo Road, Anchor and Hope on the Cut, or the tapas place also on the Cut (can't remember the name)

Edited to add - Meson Don Felipe is the name.

[BrandNewGuy]

+1 for Masters Super Fish. And La Barca near the corner of Lower Marsh and Waterloo Road is a good Italian.

[Jeremy]

I was also going to mention Masters Super Fish!

I know Anchor and Hope is supposed to be great, but there has always been queues when I've tried to go, which is a bit of a turn-off for me. Maybe it's calmed down a bit?

I found the food at the Young Vic bar very acceptable..

[Seabag]

Glide across the bridge to Opera Tavern

Anchor & Hope

The little chinese place on The Cut

Byron ?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Packet of crisps in The Ring. Top night out.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I agree the Young Vic isn't a bad place to go for a bite and a few drinks. the Hope and Anchor is good. Also the King's Arms on (near?) Roupel Street does OK Thai food and is a nice pub more generally.

[KidKruger]

I must be a basic bloke because when I know I'm out in Waterloo and will need to eat, Marie's Cafe on the Cut figures first every time. It's a greasy cafe by day and the last few years exclusively Thai food by evening (Thought they do a set 2-3 Thais dishes during the day, too).

May not be glam enough tho - certainly informal.

BYO.

[BrandNewGuy]

The Chinese place on the Cut that Seabag mentioned is good and cheap ? New Culture Revolution.

[MrBen]

Masters Super Fish here I come....now I remember I think its that place with loads of cabs parked up outside...always a good sign.

Thanks people.

[rodneybewes]

+1 for Meson Don Felipe. Or, a little further, just across Blackfriars Road, Mar I Terre.

Blimey, had forgotten all about that place, haven't been there for years.

If memory serves, for some reason they showed me some large cooking thing and explained how they made their rice in it. Can that be right?!

[Ladygooner]

Meson Don Felipe or Young Vic

[MrBen]

Someone said Kings Arms for Thai....but the problem with that is that on weekdays its rammed and not the sort of place you'd want to eat unless you like bum in your face. Weekends its nice and quiet. A total opposite to the trading pattern at pubs in the burbs.

Will skip the tapas because back in SE22/15 we now have about 5 tapas places up and running (its the new pizza) I spent Friday in that new one off Rye Lane... its only a spit from the Refreshment rooms... so my padron pepper quota for 2015 is now complete.

[DaveR]

I didn't know Marie's cafe was open in the evenings. I remember about twenty years ago working nearby and going there for lunch pretty much every day for a month. They always did one curry, one stir fry dish and one noodle dish every lunch time, and once a week I'd mix it up and have bacon egg and chips instead. Happy days.

PS I think it's on Lower Marsh, not the Cut.

[tfwsoll]

If you like Italian food try Ristorante Olivelli on The Cut. Reasonably priced, well-cooked food. It gets quite crowded so always an idea to book.

[goosey-goosey]

Baltic, opposite Southwark tube station

[PeckhamRose]

Rather like Thames Indian restaurant. Their Mango chicken is deelish!

[mancity68]

Always have a good feed at Waterloo Bar and Kitchen, just past Old Vic. And the hidden Tas down the side of Anchor and Hope under the arches.

[Ruffler]

Another recommendation for Baltic. Excellent food and cocktails

[Huggers]

The tapas place is brilliant, same side of the cut as old VIc, but a bit expensive.

[MissDumpling]

Waterloo Bar and Kitchen is consistently good, and not pricey. Ditto Tas on The Cut.

Had an ok meal at Tas recently, bit hit and miss.

The Table is meant to be a good italian.
