From the small pop-up places in Pop Brixton to the bustling Borough Market, we’d go as far as to say this line-up of South London restaurants should be revered as somewhat of a foodie pilgrimage. As with all of our best lists, which round up the crème de la crème of the restaurant scene in various areas, our selection of the best restaurants in South London bridges brilliant Michelin star style spots with more accessible eateries that bring brilliant food to the fore, with attractive pricing. We’re not concerned so much with big names and blingy interiors but with whether or not it’s a spot we’d recommend to friends and family, somewhere we’d happily urge people to spend their hard-earned cash on a meal that feels every bit worth it.
Whether you fancy some of the capital’s best pasta at Padella, a full performance from the team at Story or a low-key Indian sharing feast from Kricket, the best restaurants in South London shall provide. Below is our pick of the places we’ve eaten at across Borough and Brixton, and everywhere in between. We’d love to know if you think we’ve missed anywhere out, let us know on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
