The best restaurants in Sydenham Lewisham London

He estado viniendo aquí desde 2009, cuando estaba soltero y me mudé a la zona. Ahora voy con mi familia que afirma que este es el mejor restaurante italiano que han estado. La comida es genial, la selección de vinos es magnífica y deliciosa del desierto. El ambiente en particular es precioso, muy acogedor como si estuviera de vuelta en Italia comiendo en una trattoria. Sencillo y acogedor, este es el lugar para la comida italiana fuera de casa (soy italiano nacido y criado en Milán). Gracias Raffa, me encantan tus ñoquis

I have been here a few times. It’s a bit overpriced for what it is and where it is. The first two times i went i got the burrito, which was really nice. However it comes with a poached egg and i asked for a runny yolk and it wasn’t runny (no big deal). The third time i went i got the meatballs and pasta which was really poor. It was a few very cheap meatballs with some penne pasta and tomato based sauce. It was very similar to what i used to have at school at lunchtime, certainly not worth the £8.45. On one visit my friend got eggs royale (which should always come with runny yolks in the eggs). He asked for the yolks to be runny anyway just to clarify. When the food came the yolks were hard. He then queried this with the waitress who told him that next time he needed to request “extra runny yolks” which i thought was a bit cheeky to be honest. Overall i don’t think i’ll be going back. The staff are a bit odd and not very accommodating and the food is overpriced and nothing special.

La comida era de cinco estrellas y toda la experiencia fue increíble. Si te gusta la buena comida, un ambiente peculiar no te decepcionará.

Excelente cafetería / bar de vinos cerca del parque Wells. Ofrecen guardería para perros e incluso peluquería para perros. El personal es muy amable amantes de los perros y la dueña (Silvia) debe ser renombrado el perro - susurrador ya que tiene una relación increíble con cualquier perro acogido.

Visité aquí el domingo pasado, la comida fue fantástica y el servicio fue excelente. La mejor comida africana que he tenido después de un tiempo. Gran experiencia.

I’ve had two incredible lunches at Leo this week. The Gouda, cream cheese and burnt leek rosemary focaccia toastie was so good that I just had to go back. The next day I tried the scrambled eggs on toast. Wow! I had no idea that scrambled eggs could be so delicious and full of such interesting flavours. Leo is a happy, vibrant place to enjoy a relaxing, unhurried lunch and everyone working there was very friendly and welcoming.

So firstly I should say that I’ve ordered from this restaurant before and eat inside; however I (and my wife) noticed the difference with the food quality over a year ago and due to this being a pricey restaurant we couldn’t take any more risk. So fast forwarding to today we’ve decided to give them another go and man oh man it was DISAPPOINTING a total of £48.50 and i collected the food only to get home and there’s only 1 set of chopsticks and 2 sachets of soy sauce and the wasabi’s is so tiny but ok maybe the food will redeem all of that we thought… wrong 😑 WRONG … the food was disappointing in every way even the rice I got tasted old .. I wouldn’t recommend this place as it stands to anyone.. it’s costly and not worth it even if it was cheaper… too bad because I really use to enjoy eating from there.

Mi hermana ha estado viniendo a este gran café durante 24 años y me presentó a Sam y sus hermanos. Fantásticas porciones, comidas muy calientes y sabrosas. Una gran variedad de menú. Personal muy amable y acogedor. Gran lugar para comer a cualquier hora del día. Recomendamos los asados dominicales, y el pastel y el puré.

I only had a coffee but it was shockingly bad. It was INSTANT. I asked for a cappuccino and was give some awful brown slop in a foam cup (the foam cup made it taste even worse). If i left it for a few minutes it would develop a skin which i could pick up. This happened twice (see photo). In the end i threw the “coffee” down the sink and tried to forget about the whole thing. I didn’t have the food so i can’t comment on it but my friends got a couple of sandwiches and i didn’t hear any complaints. I just don’t understand why places think it’s okay in this day and age to serve such bad coffee. The only reason i gave it two starts was because the coffee was nice and hot.

Fabulous food. Great portions. All allergens clearly stated. It was a birthday celebration that they made really memorable. I highly recommend it. Thank you.

Been here many times and have always had great dinners. I am vegetarian and there are plenty of delish things here.

Food is really tasty and worth for the amount spent. Non-busy restaurant on Sydenham Main Street .

This is an excellent pub and restaurant. I remembered it from when I was a small child, so when we went back as siblings plus grandson (and great-granddaughter) to scatter my mother’s ashes where she grew up, we decided to book a table for lunch afterwards. Due to my brother and his wife being stuck in traffic in Central London our meeting time of 12 noon didn’t work, but Greyhound staff let my son and his baby come in and wait, and then my sister joined us. We ended up going for a walk, then coming back and once again using their toilet. Then while we were waiting for the other two to arrive, the time of our booking came and went. I rang the Greyhound and they were completely fine with us and put our table booking back one hour. After the ashes scattering we went back, they found us a large table with room for the buggy and took our drinks order. The menu was good with traditional pub food like fish and chips or burger, with more adventurous stuff. At this point I discovered my siblings weren’t hungry(!!) but I managed to persuade them to eat something and they enjoyed starters with a side dish as a light lunch. Apparently the soufflé on the starter menu is never available, but my brother and his wife stopped at a restaurant in Warwick on the way home and managed to get a lovely cheese soufflé so all was well. Food was hot and freshly made and brought to the table at the same time. My son had the burger which he thought was okay (probably on the menu because people expect it). I had the mussels and fries. They came in a big pot with a lid and chips in a cup. My brother had prawns so they gave us a finger bowl to share. The sauce on my mussels was delicious but a lot got left in the bottom. My brother gave me half a slice of ciabatta that came with his prawns so I soaked up some of the sauce, but I couldn’t manage to keep the sauce on the mussel shell without it going back into the pan when I ate the mussel. All the ‘starter and side’ people thought the food was lovely. There was a drinks list with some different beers and cocktails - son and brother had Battersea brewery beer and loved it. But there was no wine list, so I ordered Sauvignon blanc and my sister-in-law had a glass too. It was really good, even if I had chosen from a list I couldn’t have chosen better. There was a jug of water for the table which we had before we ordered any drinks which was a nice touch. Our waitress was lovely and helpful, but so were all the staff including the young woman who saw me arriving for our meal and greeted me like a regular after my earlier visits to use the facilities! While I was sitting waiting for family members an old man drinking beer at the next table said to me ‘they’ve really done this pub up well’ and I agreed. It has a really good ambience and decor, smart but very comfortable and welcoming. And even though they showed rugby in the afternoon it was down the other end far away from the restaurant area and not too loud. A great pub for a drink, a meal or a just a place to meet. Friendly and welcoming, with great food and drinks. I highly recommend it.

courier was very good and understanding the chips were not very hot fish was great.

Cheerful and on point service. Great selection of cakes - and good coffee. Return of a mincemeat tart, post Christmas, is particulay welcome. Warm and welcoming venue. Happy New Year!
