Cafe Mama Pho - (Near Lewisham, london)

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.

May Myanmar Very nice local restaurant in New Cross, went for Thursday evening (only day they are open for dinner) when they have a dinner menu. Shared plates, we had almost all the mains except beef carpaccio as was sold out by then. Would definitely recommend, service was efficient and staff were lovely. Our favourites: the bread and dips, cherry salad (excellent), Moroccan fish and glazed duck breast salad! We wish the fresh bread was slightly bigger though to mop up all the dips! Definitely will be back to try their breakfast/brunch!

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.

Sarah Roush Absolutely love this spot for a sit in coffee, matcha and a treat. If there’s any desserts with tahini available they are always 10/10! It’s my new go-to spot for a coffee meet up with friends. George, Sid and the rest of the staff are always super friendly and the interior design is super cute! Would definitely recommend!

George Serafeim Lovely place, really nice vibes, very welcoming staff! It’s great for dinner dates! Would love to see also a white base pizza! for sure will be a regular!

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!
