Mondo Beer + Pizza in Southwark

Tomamos un par de pintas con un amigo allí y también tuvimos una hamburguesa cada uno. Tomé la hamburguesa de maní y tocino. Estaba ligeramente seca (la mantequilla de maní definitivamente no ayudó con eso) pero agregué un poco de salsa y me gustó mucho. No era demasiado caro y el ambiente era muy agradable. Se pone muy ruidoso debido a que es un lugar pequeño, pero en general es un lugar muy agradable para tomar un bocado o solo unas pintas.

We had gone to Borough Market expecting to get lunch. That place was crazy busy with nowhere to sit so we ended up at Honest Burgers. There was seating indoors and out, and the inside was nice and cool and much quieter than the outside area. Service was pleasant and food was decent. My husband had the chicken pesto sandwich and I had chicken strips and a small salad, so we can't vouch for the burger quality. Please note that they do have restrooms but they are downstairs.

Disappointing Experience at Applebee’s – Not Worth the Hype We booked a table at Applebee’s Fish in Borough Market to celebrate a close friend’s 50th birthday, expecting a memorable evening. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the occasion. To start, we waited an unusually long time for our starters, only for the wrong dishes to arrive—scallop ceviche instead of the grilled scallops we had ordered. We flagged the error, and although the staff did correct it and eventually brought the grilled version, the dish itself was underwhelming. The texture was grainy and lacked the finesse we were hoping for. Thankfully, the main courses were a step up—well-cooked and genuinely tasty—but the initial mishap had already set the tone. Adding to the discomfort, the table beside us sent their main course back not once, but twice. One of the diners ended up not eating at all, which didn’t exactly instill confidence. We had mentioned in our booking that we were celebrating a 50th birthday, and while that detail was acknowledged when we arrived, there was no effort made to make it feel special. No candle, no complimentary treat with dessert—not even a small gesture. For the price point, and considering the occasion, it left us feeling quite let down. All in all, Applebee’s felt more like a polished tourist trap than the vibrant seafood spot it’s made out to be. With so many fantastic places to eat in Borough Market, I don’t think we will return.

Great ribs, not so great brisket

They’re making Burgers, I’m shocked, life is so beautiful
