recommendations for a sexy eatery nearby for a birthday lunch

[fairport]

You can't beat the plough cafe for good value. Wicked bubble too!

[KidKruger]

Would recommend for a decent dinner for two at (both in crystal palace):

Joanna's

Numidie Bistro

I went to Locale on saturday night for the first time and was very impressed. French waiter very attentive and if I am not mistaken the prices have been reduced since they first opened? In any case both pizza and pasta dishes were devoured and the chocolate fondant pudding was to die for!

Pleased to hear it's not just me he's very rude to then.

I'm loath to return to the Herne even for a pint now.

I agree with KidKruger ....Joanna's in Crystal Palace is fabulous with an old fashioned sexiness to it that means the ten minute cab back to East Dulwich is just perfect.

[Dodo1]

Yes- try to get a table in that little alcove

Oh bloody hell, "old fashioned" eh, I remember when Joanna's opened :))

[KidKruger]

Yes I find Joanna's and Numidie both perfect for a build-up to the sexyness alluded to in the title of this thread.

Nothing in ED compares unfortunately if we're talking solely about what the venue itself offers to that motive.

I haven't been to Joanna's for years, so maybe it's changed, but isn't it quite family friendly at lunchtime?

I'm not sure that being surrounded by families and children is quite the sexy, intimate lunchtime atmosphere the OP seems to be looking for!

Joanna's is OK but I'd hardly call it sexy. I'd suggest Sheekeys in St Martin's Place which is a favourite of mine.
