London East Dulwich Restaurant Guide

“Old pub – now a neighbourhood bar/bistro” of over a quarter century’s standing in East Dulwich, which is “owned by locals and loved by locals for its friendly pub-style ambience but restaurant-level cooking”, its “friendly and helpful staff, and great vibe”. Top Menu Tips – “it’s one of the few places to offer savouries as well as ice cream and desserts”; “Sunday roasts and daily fish and vegetarian specials are fab”.

For “tasty sushi”and other Japanese treats – washed down with cocktails – this East Dulwich spinoff from Clapham‘s Tsunami remains a hit with those local to Lordship Lane.

2023 Review: “This great local pub” in Dulwich excels for its “simple food – especially the pies”. “It’s always a big surprise to me that the Lordship isn’t in Harden’s. It’s a huge room with lots of outdoor space, and very friendly, welcoming staff”.

“Really tasty Greek eats” make Evi Peroulaki & Conor Mills’s neighbourhood spot “a welcome addition to East Dulwich’s rather vanilla offerings” (they operated previously as Souvlaki Street at various markets). The place is “full of joy”, with a “concise menu of smallish plates” that means “you can try a little bit of everything as a group sharing”. Top Menu Tip – “can any man or woman resist the Portokalopita blood orange-soaked pie with Greek yoghurt and sweet wine?”.
