Best Restaurants for Foodies in Forest Hill

Incredible food at a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Clapham old town down. The lunch menu was super value at £90 for 4 courses. The wine list is extensive with so much variety, not many bottles on the cheaper side but expected at a Michelin restaurant. The honey soufflé made from locally sourced Clapham bees was a lovely touch. Can’t wait to go again!

We had a lovely lunch at Joia! The servers took very well care of us, and were always kind and joyful which made the experience all the better. We chose the Octopus salad as an entrée; the Bacalhau à Brás for our mains, and finally both the Chocolate orange mousse and Spiced pineapple for dessert. Everything was delightful and tasty. As a Portuguese person living in London, it was great to see some of our very traditional dishes levelled up, though they all remained very soulful and delicious as per Portuguese cuisine. Though it was gloomy outside, the view was incredible. The rooftop was unfortunately closed, and we were told it'll be open from April for the summer months, so another reason to come back. Muito obrigado for the experience, we will definitely be back!

Everything was perfect, the only issue was that we weren’t given a bag from the Xperience San Valentín. I had to go and ask if we were supposed to receive one because no one gave us anything, while others were leaving with their bags filled with items. Other than that, it was an unforgettable experience.

Great restaurant. Reliably good. Service great, food delicious and unfussy. Best place to eat locally.

The food was impeccable and delicious with stunning flavours. I loved the décor and the space was beautifully designed. We also got a given cute mini dessert as it was my partner's birthday. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially if it's a special occasion.
