vegetarian options for lunch?


Recommended Posts

I can barely tolerate a carrot but Mrs ????s is a veggie. Today, we have a lunchtime break from 2p and 10p, and so are looking for the best local venue for veggie choice (although one where I can eat animals and drink beer too). Any ideas? Ideally with sun.


Cheers in advance

Not a lot of choice locally, but my vote goes to the Rye Hotel - amazing veggie roast, as well as good carnivore options. Else, Ganapati caters well for both if you want curry. Avoid LL, where Franklins, Palmerston etc rarely venture away from fried-offal fayre..

To be honest - I think that all of the places on Lordship Lane serving Sunday lunch do a veggie option, this includes Franklins and the Palmerston. Quite a few places seem to think that toad in the hole is an adequate veggie option - I'm not convinced, but sure lots of people like it as its offered so widely. I think that the Magnolia does a good Sunday lunch and its a lovely bright restaurant too. Last time I went it was really busy so I'd call in advance to reserve a table.

Rye Hotel is pretty good for veggie. If you like Greek, (which might be nice on a sunny day like this) there's a place in Camberwell that I like. I'm veggie and when I've been, they have always been really helpful in subtituting more veggie options into the Meze. Mrs bloke is a meat eater, so that often works out a good option. Here's a link with details. There's a couple of negative reviews, none of them are mine, but I would be one of the positive ones had I done a review!

But... my recent favourite by miles is this place in Crystal Palace.

It's called Domali. It is almost exclusively veggie, so does really nice tasty stuff - not just basic afterthought non-meat stuff to allow veggies to go along. Because their stuff is so tasty, even my committed carnivore missus liked it a lot! Also, they do stuff like fish (smoked salmon etc) so its not strictly veggie.


Oh, and the waiting staff were really nice and friendly and helpful (and that's all I'm saying because Mrs Bloke uses this site as well!). The whole place has a nice atmosphere and serves booze as well, which is great for a long weekend all day breakfast.

the Toad's Mouth in Brockley is really good too. they have tasty options of both the vegetarian and omnivore variety plus a sun room and garden out back(both surprising since the main dining room is in the basement)

and really nice coffee and a ton of different teas

Please don't take this the wrong way, but with your tastes how did you ever hitch up?

Moos, while you may have your own views, I am not a wind up merchant.


Most people tend to find people something like themselves. Most of the women I know who are ale drinkers are with men who are ale drinkers, dance music lovers find dance music lovers, etc. I love both.


While I have had a neighbour who when invited to dinner did bring her own cheese made of potato, I would think twice about making dinner again for - let alone live with - someone unable or unwilling to differentiate potato from cheese. You may be right, and the world may be full of such people, but most people I know tend to aim for likes that are at least to a degreee similar.

Louisana, didn't you say on another thread that you drink but your partner doesn't. How is this different to a veggie with a non-veggie (I know plenty of people like that - they happen to be together for love).


Back to the question, I am a meat eater who loves veggie food and often struggle finding something good locally. Will definitely try Domali!

Ah, my partner doesn't drink coffee generally after a meal - but then neither do I, mostly (unless it's offered at someone's home).

Lorraineliyange, while your relationship is commendable and olbviously exactly as you wish it, I'd venture to suggest that many non-smokers will tend to prefer non-smoking partners, owing to the smell of smoke not being so appetising to non-smokers (plus if their parents etc. have died from lung cancer - which is surprisingly often the case as many people used to smoke - this tends to leave a major mark, and such people will tend to seek non-smoking partners.) I suppose it depends on your time of life too...

    • There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.

    • Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
