Harden's says

All-day Peckham bar and dining space with a strong ‘natural’ wine focus, serving contemporary European cuisine, inspired by the ‘bistronomy’ movement.

An “interesting and very good menu”“prefer the à la carte to the set” – with natural wines to match draws an appreciative crowd to this open-kitchen outfit, behind Peckham overground station. Inspired by the ‘bistronomy’ of Paris or Copenhagen, it no longer generates the volume of feedback or stellar ratings of a couple of years ago.

“Innovative cooking, good cocktails and a relaxed, cool setting” draw the “young hip crowd” to this “small Peckham restaurant” from the team behind Salon in Brixton (RIP). All reports remain fundamentally upbeat, but a variety of gripes and some dishes “not quite hitting the mark” took its rating lower this year.

“Sublime” and “innovative contemporary cuisine” makes this Peckham two-year-old the sort of place you “happily return to again and again” – and you won’t get bored because “the menu constantly changes, reflecting seasonal fare”. “Our group literally tried everything and there wasn’t one disappointing dish”. The “enjoyable” atmosphere is “nice and buzzy” but “are they as cool as they think they are!?”. (The team behind Levan cut their teeth with Salon in Brixton, see also.)

“Fantastic food + great wine list + super-friendly people + brilliant music = cool vibes!” – this new restaurant and wine bar near Peckham Rye station (baby bro’ to Salon in Brixton) has cracked the formula for winning fans from SE15 and beyond: a “casual-yet-special” operation, it can become “extremely busy” and “crowded”. Its “incredible” small plates are a foil to the “very good wine list” and arguably a form of “wildly indulgent nursery food”, but are so “creative and fun” and with “flavours that sing!”
