Brixton food & drink news: new restaurants, bars, pop ups, cafes and more

Never heard of it.

The beer & burger works out at about 90p for the burger & chips. I think if you choose wine it's about 10p.

It is ridiculously cheap indeed.

Shame the only cheap beer they sell is piss.

 

[Onket]

Right.

I'm after somewhere to have my dinner break, people. Somewhere like The Phoenix or Semas or that place in the arch that does the good mint tea.

 

[Badgers]

Have you tried Wetherspoons?

 

[Onket]

See post #1.

Cafe Sitifis just around the corner from Fujiyama do superb Sunday brunches- the eggs benedict/royale/florentine are great. Their cakes/pastries are pretty good too. Not pricey at all.

Done them all apart from Cafe Max- is that the one inbetween Footlocker & Argos?

....

Cafe Max gets my vote and that new Thai cafe next to Rosies called Yum-D.

Not tried yum-d yet, it looks well erm yum. Are the any dishes you'd recommend?

Not me.

Weatherspoons is the best destination, whatever the occasion.

Dogstar does pizzas

The pad thai I had was excellent.

Universal appeal - whether you've just got your JSA through, or your pension money. There's something for everyone.

Food in The Albert?

I have.

Perfectly edible.

But might as well go to Wetherspoons for a burger, chips & beer as the follow-up pint is cheaper.

 

[leanderman]

Brixton Space?

Space is good. And friendly

I second this suggestion. One of my favourite places and I'm fussy about food. The owner is Algerian and lovely. I recommend the mixed meze - huge plate of very tasty food for £4.75. Paninis are also good.

I also like Cafe Max for cheap and cheerful bacon sandwiches and the like and the coffee is nice. Yum D does decent Thai food. Curry Ono (next to YumD) is also good for Japanese curry.

How about eating in the Albert, then off-license for a can to drink while walking down to Wetherspoons for a follow-up pint?

 

[Onket]

The food in The Albert is no better than Wetherspoons. Quite tempted by the can, though.

Kao Sarn at BV main entrance. Open late all nights (10 I think). Be prepared for a wait.

Went there once and thought it was deeply average.

Agreed. I don't get it either. However, you can bring your own booze

For Eritrean there's Asmara on Coldharbour, but better still go to Adulis up at the Oval end of Brixton Road. Love Adulis

 

[TruXta]

Adulis ftw. Only thing is they could do with is a better beer selection.

 

[teuchter]

Are any of the eateries opposite the barrier block on CHL any good?

Looks like a bunch of greasy spoons and chicken shops to me.
