Acorn House Restaurant
Dined here last night and it was so-so.
Starter of yellow beetroot, Jersey Royals & olives was bland and seemed a bit steep at £8.50. A plateful of crab & asparagus tasted great but was £11.50.
Delicious homemade mushroom soup tasted very earthy and flavoursome, as did another of beetroot.
My main course of sea bream was tender with crisp skin and served on a bed of more Jersey Royals and some curly kale very nice.
Tagliatelli of lamb ragu was generously portioned, but reminded me of mince & spaghetti.
Service was friendly enough but inattentive we waited too long to order wine, and then food and then coffees & had to call the waiting staff over every time.
The concept of this place is great everything they use light bulbs, paint, oil, etc is designed to ensure that the business makes the smallest impact on the environment possible recyclable and sustainable products all the way excellent.
Although, I feel they should make more of this on the menu & explain to you where everything is sourced, as when you find out the lengths they have gone to, it is very impressive.
Its just a shame the food wasnt as fabulous as the concept.
Overall starters very expensive. Mains - good. Atmosphere lively. Service slow.

French House Restaurant
A few of us had lunch here on Saturday - what a fabulous afternoon - the waiter, Alex was very friendly & exceptionally laid back even after we had consumed copious bottles of wine!
Food tasted authentically French & was both delicious & excellent value - amazing fillet steak, bernaise sauce & pommes frites - £16!
The pub downstairs was good fun for a drink afterwards.

Pizza Express (Dulwich)
Very pleasant lunch here yesterday - not exactly a high-class chain of restaurants, but just what you'd expect from Pizza Express - reasonably priced, delicious pizzas. Service very friendly and helpful.
