The best restaurants in College Southwark London

(Note: this restaurant is also known as 'siOn') We booked because the restaurant was within walking distance of Dulwich College - but not without trepidation as the website is aimed at diners forty or more years younger than some of us. We need not have worried, we were all made very welcome. siOn was taken into five-star territory by the quality of the food, which was excellent. We ordered a wide variety of 'smalls' and 'sides', eaten tapas-style, not a duff amongst them. Music a bit on the loud side, no hot drinks, short wine list, great cocktails. Friendly, attentive and responsive staff. No automatic service charge. An easy five stars.

Ho gradito di gran lunga l'ambiente intimo e accogliente di questo posto, le luci soffuse e la musica soft hanno creato un'atmosfera estremamente piacevole. Il personale ha fatto di tutto per rendere questa esperienza culinaria memorabile mostrando un'elevata attenzione senza essere invadenti. I sapori di ogni piatto erano perfettamente bilanciati e gli ingredienti incredibilmente freschi. Consigliato!!!

Very cosy and comfortable place with great choices of snacks and light lunch.

First time ordering at Eastern Cuisine, and it won't be the last! After some confusion with placing an order over the phone (website states I am outside of the delivery area, but confirmed with EC that they do delivery to BR3, per their Facebook advertising) and issues with the pricing of the items ordered, the food arrived in very good time. The dishes are full of fantastic flavor, not had curries like them before (mango delight and lababdar) and highly recommend. The vegetarian set menu is great value for money. Naan was soft and pillowy. Portion sizes are generous and it's really nice to not have things swimming in oil! Very happy with the food!

The premises are being refurbished, and a sign says that it is soon to re-open under another name. Hopefully it'll be as good as Gracelands was! I don't know if it'll be the same people running it...

Exceptional! We have eaten twice at Walter’s and must say it’s our new favourite restaurant in Dulwich. The staff are excellent, and the food is divine! A great new addition to Dulwich.

Go here regularly with my parents and always make sure to visit when I’m back from uni. Such a gem of place, staff are wonderful, family who own it are brilliant, food is great and drinks are 10/10. Would highly recommend !

And terrible quality. Was dependable. Now not. Not happy

Hermoso y acogedor restaurante, perfecto para una noche de citas o cena con amigos. Visitamos para el cumpleaños de mi pareja, comida increíble, servicio increíble. Absolutamente me encantó, sin duda volveremos de nuevo para la cena casual y para ocasiones más especiales, un hallazgo muy especial!

It was my second time there and I can say it was a mistake to go there. These are the worst tapas I’ve ever had. Most of the food looks and rates as if it’s straight from a can. Do not go there!

Once again fabulous food delivered hot and quick, no other Chinese restaurant comes close.

Food was ok, there isn’t an option the add sauce or salad in the wrap and then they put mayo and chilli sauce as well as salad. So couldn’t eat it as not a chilli sauce or salad person.

We chose this venue based on location, a visit many years ago and it's a Youngs pub, except, on the Thursday before Good Friday, there was no Youngs beer. A second waiter rattled off a long list of lagers so we chose Two pints of Guinness and a Pravha only to be told 5 minutes later the Pravha is off too. It took 35 minutes to get our drinks from walking in, yes we spent a few minutes debating whether we should leave but decided to give it a go and ignore the table of lads f'ing and blinding loudly, not a great start. The food was good and served quickly, back on track, after the mains we were asked if we would like a dessert, one of our group said yes to be told "all we've got is ice cream", slipping again. For a Thursday before a Bank Holiday weekend I expected the pub and restaurant to be busy and buzzing, it was not, the conservatory area was very quiet and lacking atmosphere and at 2130 we were the only ones so we move to the pub area seeking a bit of life, it wasn't much better ,but there were 3 or 4 other groups. One of the bar staff was bordering on rude, certainly unwelcoming, and there was a general feeling from the staff everything was a bit too much bother and couldn't wait to get rid of us and shut the doors. The best pubs or pub restaurants have something about them, a buzz, staff with some character and charisma, the sound of laughter and chatter, people who like to host......not here on a Thursday I'm afraid.

Después de haber quedado decepcionado por la comida ofrecida en un café cercano, yo y un amigo fuimos al parque a ver las flores y los arbustos. Espiamos el café que estaba silenciosamente lleno de gente agradable. Pedimos una pizza de jamón y rúcula de Parma. Llegó rápidamente a la orden. Gran valor. Los cubiertos se presentaron envueltos en una servilleta de mesa (no teníamos que servirnos a nosotros mismos ni revolverlos en una caja de cubiertos abierta según el café cercano). Aunque lleno de gente, todos fueron sociables y serviciales. Hizo un gran almuerzo para nosotros, fue una lluvia torrencial afuera. Bien hecho.
