Llegamos sin reserva justo cuando abrieron por la noche y fueron cálidamente recibidos y acomodados rápidamente. El personal estaba muy centrado en el cliente sin estar más - atento. Las llegadas posteriores no fueron tan afortunadas, así que se recomienda reservar si quieres una hora específica. Pizza una de las mejores que he probado y el melanzane alla parmigiana estaba “perfectamente equilibrado” y “delicioso” según mi esposa. Buena selección de bebidas también. Muy recomendable.
Really wanted to love this place so I could have good local food near me, but didn't. Overall, very small servings for the price compared to other Singaporean Malaysian restaurants like laksamania.
Black pepper crab: we got the runt of the litter, black pepper sauce was slightly lacking in aroma. They provide gloves.
Char kway teow: really enjoyed this one. Wok hey was there, noodles were chewy.
Beef rendang: the gravy is more like a curry than a rendang in consistency. Usually Rendang is drier. Surprisingly, kiln does a better rendang than them, although they've labelled theirs a curry. The meat wasn't particularly tender. Usually it's meant to fall apart. I struggled to detect the galangal and lemon grass, it's just sweet. A very one dimensional, sad rendang that misrepresents the rendangs a of the world. Go to old Chang kee and get the rendang curry puff instead, even that is more like rendang.
Nasi lemak: chicken was a little dry on the inside considering it's a thigh and drumstick and not very crispy on the outside. Rice was strangely mushy. Another disappointment. I'm starting to sound like my Asian parents when they describe me to their friends.
Morning glory (kangkong) with belachan: everyone at the table thought this was really bland. Probably the worst dish. Could barely taste the balachan and they topped it off with fried onions to salvage the dish which was...I don't know, not belachan kang Kong.
If you're here, just order the char kway teow. Friend was also a little annoyed that waitress got crab gravy all over his jumper while serving the dish. Wear black.
Por lo general vamos a Lisboeta por Nuno Mendes y vinimos al bar Duero cuando abrimos por primera vez, así que hemos decidido volver a probar. y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho , toda la comida era genial y volveremos de nuevo en realidad llegamos al mostrador debido a los videos que tienen de la chef jefe trabajando en el mostrador de la cocina, así que nos pareció una gran idea ver a la chef trabajando en los platos que nos estaban sirviendo, lo único que diría es que la chef podría tener un poco más de compromiso. pero no es realmente un problema , volveremos
Vinimos aquí primero hace unos 6 meses y estoy de acuerdo con las críticas anteriores sobre lo excelente que era la comida. Así que vinimos de nuevo anoche, realmente esperando.
Algo radical ha pasado - no sé si es un nuevo chef, o una nueva propiedad - pero la experiencia y la comida era irreconocible. Es realmente triste ver este terrible declive.
El pan de tomate era dos rebanadas de pan blanco en rodajas, tostado, con tomates picados pálidos y acuosos en la parte superior. Las patatas bravas eran patatas salpicadas con ketchup de tomate barato y mayonesa barata. Las setas eran claramente setas picadas congeladas que habían sido sometidas al microondas. La gota final fueron las 'croquetas de jamón' que estaban calientes por fuera y frías por dentro, y tenían una especie de textura de carne de res en conserva. No podíamos comer la comida - excepto las gambas, que estaban v caliente y por lo que parecía seguro - y realmente sentía que las croquetas eran inseguras.
El camarero era muy agradable y sinceramente disculpado. Solo pagamos por las bebidas y lo poco que comimos. Pero dado lo excelente que fue esto cuando estuvimos aquí por última vez, esto es un declive realmente triste. Ciertamente nunca volveremos.
It was cold and I had 30mins before meeting a friend for Poppy display at The Tower. Very welcoming from the start. Had a flat white - best taste since an expresso in Torino! Had last slice of carrot cake - great taste but it had “waited too long”
But the coffee was eonderful
A neighbour recommended by saying "they have the best sourdough" so we had to try it out. And it was true! Since the first time we've tried their pastries as well and everything is delicious and light! The service is great, very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!
Really nice little cafe with very friendly service and good food. Went there for lunch and had a savoury tomato tart which was delicious. Highly recommend.
386 Old Kent Rd, London, SE1 5AA, United Kingdom, England
🚇 Queens Road Peckham
🍺 £4.50 Fosters
The Lord Nelson is located halfway down the Old Kent Road on the border between Bermondsey and Peckham. There are not many stations close by, I got the Overground to Queens Road Peckham, it’s a twenty minute walk to get here.
This pub dates from the early 19th century and is Grade II listed. It is now only one of two pubs left on the Old Kent Road, this once great drinking thoroughfare used to have 39 pubs.
The interior of this pub is just magnificent, so much so that CAMRA have said it is an interior of outstanding national historic importance. The servery is located on the right hand side of the main bar and has a stunning detailed structure above. Another impressive feature of this pub are the spectacular Victorian gilded mirrors, one of which captures Lord Nelson at the battle of Cape Vincent in 1797. There is plenty of seating throughout including stools around the bar. There are two pool tables, a dartboard and a couple of fruit machines and not forgetting a proper pub carpet.
The beer selection is pretty straightforward and offers a line up of familiar keg favourites. I decided on a Fosters, my pint was great, price point was reasonable at less than a fiver. There is no food served here at present.
I arrived around 2.30pm on a showery Saturday afternoon in August. The pub was fairly quiet with half dozen local punters in attendance. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed with a local pub feel. I got chatting to the manager who was lovely, she was telling me all about the pub’s recent challenges and the Irish Landlady who has run this pub for nearly 30 years. She also mentioned the Monopoly pub crawlers who visit from time to time.
If there was ever a pub that personifies a London Boozer, then this pub is definitely it. The building and decor are a thing of beauty, unlike any other London pub I’ve visited. I would wholeheartedly recommend you visit The Lord Nelson, a glorious London Pub.
