From the capital’s vibrant South Bank to Thamesmead and Greenwich in the east, and extending south to Sydenham at its furthest point, south east London is a diverse area that has benefited from regeneration over the last decade. This is evident in its amazing array of bars and restaurants. From plant-based to Portuguese plates, south east London’s got it all.
Set within the Young Vic’s award-winning building and just minutes from the Tate Modern, Old Vic Theatre, Southbank, Southwark and Waterloo Stations, The Cut is one of London’s most popular theatre bars and restaurants. Spread over two floors, this stylish, buzzy bar and open-air terrace hosts an eclectic crowd of theatregoers, artists and locals. On the menu you’ll find everything from burgers to European small plates and vegan / vegetarian-friendly dishes.
In Peckham you’ll find Omni – a fully plant-based restaurant offering a selection of sharing plates, cocktails and natural wines. Discover seasonal sharing plates in a relaxed and cosy setting just on the corner of Rye Lane. Sourcing vegetables from premium, local suppliers, these dishes showcase vegetables in unique and inventive ways by using flavours and inspiration from around the world. There’s also a wine list comprised of unique natural wines, sourced from small independent producers across Europe.
Over the last three decades, Babur has become a firm local favourite among the residents of Honor Oak Park. Since opening 37 years ago, this award-winning restaurant has continued to highlight the varied regional cuisines of the subcontinent. This is one of south east London’s culinary gems, best known for its stunning and innovative modern Indian cuisine, cocktails and fantastic wine list.
Uva may have only launched in 2021, but its already making quite an impression on Peckham foodies. This unique restaurant serves a menu of understated and traditional Portuguese inspired tapas (petiscos in the local dialect). Salivate over options from the Oceano (sea), Terra (land) and O Solo (earth) and prepare for a dining experience unlike anything you’ve had before. To accompany your petiscos is a fine-tuned selection of Portuguese wine, hand-selected local craft beers and a custom created Mediterranean cocktail menu.
We love a fusion restaurant at Dish Cult and Signature is one of London’s best. Situated in Bexleyheath, this restaurant is where the elegance of Japan meets the vibrancy of Brazil. Every season the talented team of chefs create seasonal menus utilising only premium ingredients sourced from carefully selected suppliers. With regular DJs, acoustic acts and other exciting lineups, Signature provides a dining and entertainment experience that’s one to remember.
