Best south London restaurant?

[stevie_son]

I'm making a list of restaurants in my local area. Would like suggestions for any that I've missed (there seems to be new places popping up everyday).

Has anyone been to the new place on Bellenden Road (I forget the name)? I also noticed a new place on Kirkdale (161 I think) that looks interesting.

Feel free to suggest stuff or add to the list and vote here

Yeah Artusi on Bellenden Rd is pretty good (only had their lunch menu tho). Crooked Well seems like an obvious omission.

[stevie_son]

I'll have to check it out, although it's probably been rammed since rayner reviewed it.

[edcam]

Good list Stevie! It does need The Crooked Well, Angels & Gypsies and The Camberwell Arms.

[stevie_son]

Angels & gypsies! How could I forget them. Pricey, but there croquettes are pure crack.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Palmerston is shown as the EDT. I'd have The Patch on the list. Has its knockers i know, but i enjoyed my visit.

[stevie_son]

Great, actually popped into the patch on Sat but only for a drink. Anyone feel free to add stuff yourself if you can be arsed!

[Zebedee Tring]

McDonalds in Brixton is great. Even better than KFC opposite, although their chicken buckets are to die for - probably literally.

[stevie_son]

I probably should add a morleys, doesn't get more south London then that...

[njc97]

Should try la querce and babur in forest hill. And meze mangal in lewisham/new cross. And London Particular in New Cross proper. Viet Rest in Deptford maybe.

Maybe Burger Bear Tom's residenciees at Old Nuns Head?

[stevie_son]

Great suggestions. Been a while since I've visited Babur but I remember it being great

161 Kirkdale is a very newly opened wine bar in Sydenham, and is proving very popular. I understand there is a connection with TOASTed. Wine and beer only, no spirits, at present. Excellent cheeses. Friendly and knowledgeable owner and staff. Perhaps on the small side having regard to its popularity.

[MissDumpling]

French House - new to Lordship Lane. Dishing up Alsace delights.

[annabel42]

Si Mangia in Forest Hill Road; Trattoria Raffaele in Sydenham.

[Sue]

Nice to see Ghurka's Flavour included - where we go whenever they have a Time Out offer!

[MissWiggy]

Great idea and really useful.

.

I'd also second the French House - new I know and with a more limited offering than some but I really like the food and atmosphere. Reasonable prices too.

How about adding in Blue Brick Caf? - I love their food.

[Growlybear]

I'd add Numidie in Crystal Palace to the list. I think the Lemon Tree in Sydenham or Eastern Cuisine in Gypsy Hill are by far the best Indian restaurants in the area - far better than the hugely over-rated and over priced Babur.

[Pugwash]

Thai Orchard opposite Forest Hill Station,

Koz

[stevie_son]

Great suggestions again, updated the list. Totally forgot about Blue Brick, we get their breakfasts quite regularly.

Looks like my waistband is going to be expanding in the coming months...

[snooks]

Teapot in Forest Hill is good for a lunch as they do all the 'old fashioned type simple'foods and the portions are always large

[El Pibe]

Is gridde your idea stevie_son?

Simple and vaguely purposeless, whilst being a bit OCD. I like it!!

[stevie_son]

Ha ha, yes it is. Still early in development and in need of many tweaks. Interested to see where it could go with enough input. Spread the word (or not, I hate self promotion, lol)

[Peckhamrye]

Last time I went past Johanssens (about a month ago) they were very much closed with a repossession notice in the window.

[El Pibe]

oh that's sad. My bad, i left the area about 4 months ago.

[LadyNorwood]

da Porcini on Croxted Road - good Italian food with great specials (changed weekly)....
