Sylva - (Near Lewisham, South East)

Jess X Goh It was recommended to me by a local who Im house-sitting in Deptford and fell in love with this place and visited 4 times in 1 week so far! Absolutely loved the vegan dishes as Im vegan and heres what I tried so far...morning glory, stir fried beans in chilli and garlic, vegan pho, green papaya tofu salad, mango sago taro coconut milk drink, tropical juice drink and my all time favourite Bánh Cuốn Nhân Chay which is steamed fermented rice rolls with mushrooms. Servings are generous and meals are super tasty and fresh. Ann has been an amazing waitress, lovely personality, friendly, hard working and efficient. The staff are helpful and accommodating and the ambience is lively, busy and colourful. Will definitely come back again as I need to try their vegan spring rolls, rice paper rolls and salad bowls however I might just be tempted to stick to the stir fry beans and fermented rice rolls.

Zoe Calvert Absolutely incredible food, best meal me and my friends have ever had! The seafood boil was delicious, soft and fresh and the guinea fowl was beautifully cooked and seasoned. Service was friendly and welcoming and vibes immaculate!

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.

REG Badger Badger seemed like a very nice boardgame cafe, and somewhere Id like to come to again to fully experience. I arrived at around 9pm, the place closes at 11, and boardgames are charged at £8.50 for 3 hours of play. Opting against paying for 3 hours and only using 2, I chose instead to pay cards (free) and drink a couple of pints (not free but understandable). The Guinnesses I had were nice enough, service was friendly and everyone around us seemed to be happy to be playing boardgames in a nice environment on a Tuesday night. They appeared to have a good range here. They also sold boardgames and a range of other similar products in the boardgame area. Food looked quite good here but I didnt have any. The toilets were satisfactory.

REG Interesting toilet situation at SALT Deptford. The toilets, once I imagine not unisex, now are. This didnt impact on their functionality though. They seemed to work fine. The pint I had here was quite nice also, they had a range of other drinks available and also pizza. Ive had a pizza here in the past and although it hasnt stuck in my mind as a glowing example (see D4100, Crisp W6) it wasnt particularly bad. Probably ok to good. Nicely done out interior here too.

Rico Razzo Really great Japanese food - the gyoza were plump, crisp, and oozing with flavour and a delicious sauce. The prawn tempura was spectacular - really light crisp batter and succulent prawns, properly good. Fennel and cucumber salad was good, fresh, but perhaps a little over-priced for the size of the portion. All round great though and definitely worth stopping by.
