El Ganso Cafe - (Near Hackney, South East)

Jessica Leung Popped in for a steak sandwich, so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meat! Soft, fabulously cooked, and well seasoned. Would gladly come back for another, highly recommended!

Kim Mansell THE best place to eat in Deptford!! I thought the brunch was amazing (chorizo bagel is heaven) but then we went for the new rotisserie chicken and it was incredible! Succulent, good quality chicken that it brined over night and cooked to perfection along with the most delicious mushroom cream sauce! The wine is beautiful too, a glass of premium red or white that goes so well with the food. The owners are just so lovely and welcoming, you will come here and feel like you left as part of the local community. Coming back for the amazing looking cocktails soon!

Vagner Ricardo Meller Went to Lardo today for a late lunch and really enjoyed it. They have a ‘worker lunch’ option from 12-4. Really good value for money and generous portions. Service was excellent and dishes well presented and very tasty. I’d easily come back. My only comment would be the tiramisu, could be improved. Apart from that, everything was spotless.

Yaqi Cai This place specializes in Mediterranean cuisine — refined but not flashy. Every dish is super substantial, made with quality ingredients. After eating, I felt incredibly healthy, like even my skin was glowing! Plus, they offer a lunch set: a main dish + two kinds of salad as a meal deal, all for just a little over a tenner — feels like a great deal!

Mohammad Alom Lovely food with amazing flavour and generous portion size. We tried the Beef Pad Kra Prao and Chicken Pad Kee Mao. Both were amazing. Both are quite spicy so be warned. Food tasted fresh, good portion size and nice presentation. Definitely recommend.

Hebah Aboud Great value for money, good portions and delicious food. Staff are always accommodating. The place is a little small and delivery is probably better unless youre in a small group. They have small mix boxes with noodles rice meat etc in one box which helps you if you cant decide what to get. Everything on the menu is delicious. Favourite dish here is the spicy wonton dumplings in broth. The fried rice is good too and so are the noodles. Honestly everything is really good. Locals love the place and its good value for money and is a gem in Deptford and one of the rare places nearby that hasnt been gentrified.
