Tani Delestrée Amazing people! Amazing wine and lovely atmosphere! 100% recommend! If you close your eyes and you’re under the heaters, the food makes you feel like you’re in Portugal or Italy

Oliver Yung Ever so often, one craves that hearty, honest meal and for me, that’s Chaconia, a Trinidadian restaurant at the heart of Deptford. The simple and clean store front veils the rich and exciting flavours that belie. I ordered the chicken curry and rice and was persuasively nudged by a fellow diner to try the goat curry instead; fortunately, the most generous proprietress indulged my gustatory fancies and offered me a small side of that. It was a plate of absolute joy - both curries had distinct flavours and the meats were perfectly stewed, retaining their structure while being succulent to the bite. The rice was well flavoured and was the perfect accompaniment to those rich curries. At £5, this was an absolute steal. I’ll be back.

Glen Counselling Nice and diverse place. There is also a fleamarket on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays definitely worth visiting.

M Farr-Matt Fantastic local spot. No tables but we sat at the bar. The food - Spanish- was excellent. Some of the best food I’ve had this year. Portions are not huge but we didn’t leave hungry. The staff (I think an entirely male team) were informed, helpful friendly and charming. There was a female DJ playing some laid back tunes. We will be back to try other guest cuisines in the coming months.

Emana Mangue Miguel “MP MANGUE” Incredible place with an African atmosphere, I felt at home with the welcoming treatment of the staff, the food was delicious although and at a good price, the live music. The only thing I didnt like is that the space is small, it should be a bigger place. For everything else, great. They deserve four stars!!!

Taylor Weaver Fellow vegan here! I’ve been visiting my partner who lives in London and have made it a mission to find the best vegan sausage roll so Arapina was at the top of our list to try - it’s a primarily vegan cafe (also includes several vegetarian options) and also includes lots of other dietary options like gluten free, sugar free, and nut free! It’s off the beaten path in a quiet residential part of Greenwich. Great atmosphere in the cafe, there’s WiFi and nice tables to work at if you wanted to bring a computer or book! We vegan options we tried were the vegan sausage roll (of course) as well as the pasty and then the mushroom / leek filled croissant! Some of the most incredible vegan pastries I’ve had, hands down! The woman who served us, Kim, was so very sweet! Excellent customer service
