Cheers; I'll try to go to Sitifis but he is half-Thai so might want some noodle soup to see how it compares to Michael's.

They couldn't compete with the pull of the Village and it seems that they weren't hip enough to attract the attention of enough visiting tweeters, the food-snapping Instagram brigade and local celebrity food critics.indeed. Lovely people that run it, shame it didn't work out.
It's a real shame.

useful. we've often felt a bit stuck with nipper in tow if we make a rare trip to brixton.
The issue of kid-friendly cafes comes up a lot here, and after grabbing lunch at Cafe Sitifis yesterday (11 Rushcroft Road, SW2) I have to say that they're one of the most kid friendly cafe/restaurants in Brixton.
Without us even asking, one of the staff came over, dismantled a table to create a large carpeted play area and brought out a big box of toys for the little one to wreak havoc on.
The food was good too - here's a little review:

Don't wait too long, they're not gonna stay open for much longer.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
I'm not sure how old your kid is, but the Lounge on Atlantic Rdis very child-friendly, inexpensive, and has nappy changing.

Tis a nice place and a bit different than a lot of other places in the vicinity.

It's ridiculous. Sitifis has some of the best food in Brixton.

I must give it another try, it seems I ordered the wrong thing when I went before. Mixed meze sounds interesting. They're ten yards from my front door, maybe I could sell my oven, eat there all the time and convert my kitchen into a library or a dungeon or something.

So supercool it only opens on the days of the week when most of the supercool people are around.
Closed again today; Vera Cruz got my lunch money again.

It's up for sale and definitely closing as soon as contracts have been exchanged, which could be any time at all (depending on the buyer sorting it out).
It's going to be a late night ice cream parlour sort of place, apparently.
I've written a piece on BrixtonBuzz encouraging people to go before it closes. The place deserves all the custom it can get, and will be sadly missed. It's a shame jayrayner couldn't muster up the enthusiasm to mention this lovely little cafe while he was busy praising his trendy foodie 'discoveries' in the Villaaaaaaaaage.

So the sausage dog cafe thing didn't work out then? Thank fucking Dawkins for that.
I'll definatley miss Sitifis, great place, and their baclava is the best I've ever guzzled.
On Rayner.. I dunno, the guy is damned if he does go somewhere and damned if he doesn't - not sure what we should hope for from a local food journalist really. He writes well, he likes his unpretentious food at low prices, he likes South London, but then again, he's always on the fucking One Show.. so what can you do?!

Is that Hen and Steph in the picture I wonder ?
I was lucky enough to visit Pisco the town after which the drink is named it was a nice unpretentious little sea side town but last I heard it had been hit by an earthquake...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco,_Peru#2007_earthquake ........a lot of the locals there were in abject poverty before that.
