Utter Waffle Herne Hill
Price: Moderate•Modern European•4.9(518)Utter Waffle - a gem within the South London brunch scene! We opened our Herne Hill restaurant in 2021, and since have become an institution in Herne Hill's small but awesome food scene. Since our launch, we've collected a small cabinet of trophies and awards, and have even cooked our savoury waffles on Masterchef, Sunday Brunch & Saturday Kitchen!
Our busy brunch restaurant serves everything from fried chicken & waffles and our signature avo smash, to bottomless brunch & craft beers. For those with a sweet tooth - fret not as the desserts are pretty good too - (we're even the proud winners of The Best Dessert in the UK (British Street Food Awards)), so there really is something for everyone!
We pride ourselves on a super-inclusive menu and ability to cater for those with dietary requirements; We're co-owned by a coeliac, don't handle any gluten on-site, plus we boast loads of vegetarian and vegan options too! So what are you waiting for!?Locanda del Melo
Price: Expensive•Italian•4.9(270)Locanda del Melo opened in June 2006 with the purpose of bringing to London our 25 years of unique experience in the Italian food industry.
Thus, we personally select and import only the finest quality products from small farms and producers throughout Italy. This ensures that our customers taste varied produce that is of the highest possible quality.
Sapore Vero - Hither Green
Price: Moderate•Pizzeria•4.9(152)We pride ourselves on our fresh, authentic Italian food and are passionate about bringing this taste to London. Our ingredients are carefully sourced from the best suppliers and many of our dishes are made with speciality Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) foods direct from Italy.
As well as sourcing the best Italian ingredients, we’ve also developed our own special pizza base recipe. Our UNICA pizza dough is made with a multigrain blend of flours that is vitamin-rich and packed with fibre while delivering the same delicious taste. Low in sugar and high in antioxidants, this is pizza that is good for you!
Our restaurants are a little corner of Italia in south east London. Cosy but elegant, with the warmth of family-friendly service delivered with the best wood-fired pizza you’ll find outside of Naples. We look forward to welcoming you soon.Kachori
Price: Expensive•Indian•4.8(83)Kachori is where the culinary traditions of North India melt with South East London. Styled with the colours of the subcontinent, here you can enjoy the deep and intense flavours of our dishes, sip chai and embrace the warmth of Indian hospitality.

🍷Wine collection & CocktailsCamille - Borough Market
Price: Very Expensive•French•4.7(316)A neighbourhood restaurant on Stoney Street, Borough Market - Camille is a reflection of imagined jaunts through regional France.
The menu from head chef Elliot Hashtroudi celebrates the magic of local and seasonal produce - his simple approach to cooking captures the rustic energy of a regional French table.
An intimate casual bistro-style dining space with small bar and window counter seating is the back drop to our a-la-carte menu and ‘daily specials’ board.
Like in our other restaurants Ducksoup, Little Duck and Emilia you’ll find a weekly changing menu of wines by the glass and bottle from small independent producers.
Pique-Nique
Price: Expensive•French•4.8(108)Located in a restored unused pavilion attached to a small public park, Pique-Nique is a french restaurant from the team behind Casse-Croûte. There's an expertly chosen wine list, a range of seasonal starters, mains to share and great desserts. Sit at the bar counter and watch the chefs cooking or entertain your guests at their large table located in the middle of the main dining room. Enjoy the view of the park and the Shard all year long from our conservatory.Coco Grill & Lounge

On a summers evening watch as the sun sets over the river. Views aside; entice yourself into an intimate destination for all occasions with a kitchen headed by renowned Chefs bringing years of culinary experience from prestigious kitchens.
Working with the best-in-class connoisseurs in the alcohol-free category, the team have developed a Redemption Menu to inspire.You will find Redemption a truly unique and inclusive option that sets us apart from the others, so everyone can leave with a truly unforgettable memory, that deserves not even the slightest opportunity for a hangover.
