CR1 Bar & Lounge - (Near Croydon, South East)

Georgia Hetherington I first came in here in 2018 when it was Viet 2 Go. In 2023 it was renamed Banh Mi Vietnam, but owned and run by different members of the same family who have done the place proud, I loved it today as much as I always did before ☺️ there is a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, the restaurant is clean and tidy, the food is fresh, hot, delicious and served up quickly. We had tofu pho in veggie broth, and vegetarian spring roll noodle salad with a pot of green tea. Plenty of flavour and fresh ingredients at very good prices. I dont come to Croydon often but will definitely return next time Im town.

Simon Lee I’ve been eating at McDermott’s for years, and was surprised to notice I had failed to leave a review sooner! Written by someone who probably eats too many fish and chips in too many locations: I reckon they’re some of the consistently best in the country. The batter is always crisp and crunchy, with perfectly cooked fish within, the chips are hand-cut, the staff are always friendly and you can even get London Pride in here for less than you’d pay at the pub! Always happy to call in, and even make an effort to visit.

Anant Borole I am not a West African native and I dined here on a late Sat afternoon. I.e. ymmv but I found the service to be good and the food to be hot, plentiful and quickly served. I had the wakye with fish stew, with plantain on the side. I was bicycling in the area when I saw the place, and the staff let me bring my cycle in while I ate. I will be back to try other items on the menu. :)

Debbie H Had a brilliant time wine tasting at Basil & Grape yesterday. Fabrizio and the team were welcoming, really knowledgeable and led us through some delicious pairings of cheeses, wines and cold meats. Would highly recommend!

Babz Ive been going to the Paratha Inn over the past few weeks to get their Doodh Patti Chai (traditional cooked Indian tea) which is very nice. Today, I had some time and tried the option 2 meal: Paratha, omelette, shami kebab with chai. Freshly cooked, filling and tasty. I really enjoyed it and it set-up me up nicely for venturing back out into the freezing cold weather!! Thanks to Nabeel and his colleagues for a good service.

Kannan Swamy Fantastic tasting food… we had the vegetarian items and it was simply superb Best wishes to the team for great success!
