Food Scene
This is a complete hidden gem and seems to be known only to locals. It's an Italian neighbourhood restaurant but in a cosy modern style. The food is really excellent and the prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend the Pappardelle con salsiccia e porcini - I get that practically every time...
It's usually pretty full on a Friday or Saturday night but it's not difficult to get a reservation. Definitely recommended if you want something tasty in the area and don't want to venture out of SE16!

Borough High StreetFantastic authentic Vietnamese canteen, seems to be known only to locals. Non-Asians are usually always very much in the minority in this restaurant too, which is always a good sign. It can be quite noisy and hectic, so don't expect Michelin-starred service and atmosphere!
