Best places to eat in SE London

Havet in Bromley do some cracking Turkish scoff. Very reasonably priced as well.2

Not one for picking up typos, but in case others are thinking of checking it out on the strength of your review, I think its the Wolseley rather than the Worsleyseth plum said:No SE London but up town.
Went up town today for a slap up lunch with Mrs Plum.
Anniversary of our wedding in 1993.
Went to a place called the Worsley next to the Ritz.
Mrs Plum said it was the best meal out she had ever had, sea bass and stuff, I had a veggie chickpea thing which was brilliant, dressed with what seemed to be barbequed slivers of cucumber or courgette.
Starter was shared avocado in vinigrette.
Pud was Worsley fruit crumble (it was rhubarb and berries) with either custard or ice cream.
The environment was posh and entertaining, the service was brilliant, hugely pleasant all round (saw Ian McShane there, and other people who looked a bit familiar) I ordered us a glass of wine that would have been £8 a pop, but the manager gave them to us free because it was our anniversary.
Gave them a tenner tip, and the bill with service charge was about £95 (no, not trying to show off!).
The thing is, at an anniversary a few years ago we went for afternoon tea at Fortnum and Masons. Not only was the nosh four times better at the Worsley, it was cheaper than F&M afternoon tea for two.
If you're looking for a place to have a treat on a special occasion I would recommend it, good vegetarian selection.

Went to a Chinese restaurant in Deptford yesterday for mother's day called Sanxia Renjia. It was excellent, and reasonably priced. I'll leave you to read Jay Rayner's review because he puts it better than I can.2

gaucho/cau set to dissappear as they have just collapsed.
personally think gaucho is overpriced and not v good if you want a nice steak head to goodmans - the best steak i have ever eaten.0 -
I think meat is losing popularity so a chain such as Gauchos and a lot of the Burger chains were destined to struggle. Agree that Gauchos is expensive.palarsehater said:gaucho/cau set to dissappear as they have just collapsed.

There is a Turkish supermarket opposite Catford Bus Station.....built on the front is a super little restaurant.
Great food all cooked and prepared on the premises using produce from the shop.......and very reasonably priced too. They also bake all manner of bread and pastries on the premises.
Can’t remember the name but maybe someone else knows it.1 -
Turkuaz? Went there once but not too impressed - prefer Havet in Bromley.0

Called Turkuaz, very good, think it's won a few awards. They do have belly dancers at weekends though, which might be an issue for some!SoundAsa£ said:There is a Turkish supermarket opposite Catford Bus Station.....built on the front is a super little restaurant.

Are the belly dancers in the bakery/cafe section or the supermarket?

Amazingly, the fish and chip shop on Charlton Church Lane has now become a Morley's.shirty5 said:Morley's
A proper Morley's at that, not "Mr Fansatic Monley's" either.0 -

How does Morley's compare?0 -
Think the new place you are talking about is Rox (Turkish meze).Have eaten in there many times and love the food in there.0

Yes, I went in there last day before lockdown. Took one look at the prices on the menu and left.kidbrookeaddick said:Think the new place you are talking about is Rox (Turkish meze).Have eaten in there many times and love the food in there.1 -
You should try Ziyafet just up the road from there. The place isn’t much to look at, but the food is great. The prices are very reasonable.PopIcon said:

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it ago. I also like Lale.guinnessaddick said:
