Top 30 Best Local ingredients restaurant in Sidcup

“Wonderful service, excellent quality food and a fab atmosphere. Great place for all ages.... starters are so good and the mixed grill platter is always a hit with the whole family.”

“Really good food, I loved the Escargot and French Sausage, staff were lovely too Highly recommended”

“The food here is always outstanding, fresh, homemade and huge portions. The staff are always lovely, attentive and welcoming, just can't fault this restaurant.”

“I have been coming here since 1981 when I was 10 years old. My father took us and his clients here when Valecci opened and me, the same, 25 years later. It was my eldest son’s 21st last night and this is where he wanted to come. 3 generations later and still the same classy experience; The food is exceptional, Enzo and his staff are the best in the business and nothing is too much trouble. If cost is your priority, this is not your kind of restaurant. If first class food served by exceptionally attentive yet subtle waiters in intimate and personal surroundings is what’s required, come here as you’ll never be disappointed.”

“Good quality local restaurant. Plenty of seating. Staff friendly, pleasant and attentive. Nice draft lager. Open for Sunday lunch. Had many good evenings here, including Christmas eve.”

“Under new ownership the last few weeks, and now the food is fresh and really high quality, the batter has a lovely crunch and the cod really light and fresh. Cash only at the mo, but the owner said once it gets busy he will start accepting card. Very friendly owner. Let's hope the standard stays as high as it is at the moment. Will be back.”

“Lovely clean toilets! Nice front of house seating that opens up to lots of outdoor seats. Coffee was fab! As was my sons smoothie as were the American pancakes!”

“I was recommended this place by a friend and drove from Essex and must say no regrets! Must try the samosa’s and the spicy crispy chicken! Loved it! Very clean and friendly service and defo a place I would recommend to all wanting a good Indian restaurant with a twist!”

“My nearest Indian restaurant that happens to be best in Sidcup and I've tried them all. Looks like an average restaurant from outside but go in and order to experience the difference. They have an extensive menu with both standard and special dishes but what I really like is the staff's willingness to customise their dishes on request. The menu stands up well against Central London gourmet restaurants like Dishoom and Chutney Mary. Normally have a weekly takeaway with occasional dining in. Highly recommended.”

“Very nice. The staff are great, the service is excellent and the food is cooked to a very high standard. Beautiful clean restaurant and nice attention to detail. Would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal in this area.”

“Went to Penelope’s on Wednesday, it’s opening day. My daughter and I had the Penelope’s special pancakes. They were amazing with fresh fruit , syrup and clotted cream. The restaurant has been beautifully decorated inside and has an fab outdoor area. There is a farm shop which you can also access via the restaurant selling lots of local produce. I picked up some funky pasta, a baking kit for my daughter and some doggy treats . A super first experience and can’t wait to try the pizzas .”

“Lovely place to relax and eat. Spacious and airy and not on top of other tables. Efficient staff who don't keep you waiting. Well done chefs for excellent food at a great affordable price.”

“Food arrived very quickly once our order was taken. The gammon was well cooked and delicious. The waitress was attentive and friendly”

“I went here a couple of days ago and took the risk after all the bad reviews(only 1 time risk). But now maybe it has changed owners and it's better now? As it looked like only 1 chinese guy was working there who spoke perfect English and I didn't see anyone else in sight. But anyways what i ordered was delicious which was roast duck with bbq sauce on egg fried rice.”

“Steven & Jo at O Vesu Van provided the pizzas for the evening meal at my wedding, and so many of my guests proclaimed them to be the best pizzas they’ve ever tasted! So so amazing. They were also prompt with replying to emails, on time on the day and couldn’t have worked harder to pump out the pizzas. Couldn’t fault them!”

“What a delightful discovery. I visited Sidcup taking my son for his second jab and when he was done we popped round the corner for a bite to eat. We wondered passed a couple of cafes and noticed there seemed to be a bit of a bustle in this beautifully decorated establishment, so figured we'd see what it was all about. Pushed into the door and was immediately met by a vibe that lifted our spirits. Very welcoming and friendly staff soon guided us to an available table and presented us with menus. The menus were sturdy and well laid out. The variety was impressive. I wish a took a picture. Even though I was up for a fried breakfast there was something about the menu that made me feel like I was eating well. There was an enjoyable chatter going on in the place the whole time, it was clear the patrons were regulars and if I lived near this place I'm sure I would become one too. I can't praise this place enough.”

“Food and service is absolutely amazing! Best chicken and wings you will ever have”

“Had an amazing family meal at Cacio e Pepe early Saturday evening on 31/07/21. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food could not be faulted. In fact, the only fault I could possibly find would be that the starter portions are FAR too generous. We will certainly be sharing starters on our next visit. Very varied menu and everything we had was cooked spot on. Cannot comment on the deserts as we were far too full to even look at the desert menu. All in all a fantastic and authentic Italian restaurant to have on your doorstep.”

“Amazing food and service, cheapest restaurant around. Wish the manager will have some self respect and stop acting like a slave to white people. Reminds me of colonisation of India!”

“Delicious, hearty Lebanese food served in a wonderful and friendly atmosphere! Charbel the chef and owner kindly checked on us and ensured we were having a great time. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant more - 10/10!”

“My family and I went here for breakfast it was amazing. The staff were friendly helpful, they were very attentive. Food was great.”

“I eat out every day. So I know quality over quantity. This little Italian restaurant always delivers high quality food and an experience. Only criticism I would have never known it’s there. I literally went in there by accident to try something new and I loved the food so much I haven’t stopped going back. I’ve eaten at this place for a good few years now. I’m really surprised it’s not full to capacity every single day. It’s a small family owned Italian with delicious food and the service is 10/10.”

“Amazing food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back .”

“What a beautiful little resturant with amazing food. Came here for my dad's 60th waitress was so attentive nothing was too much trouble. Mario and his wife are lovely can't wait to go back!”

“Amazing food. Taste 10/10. The staff are lovely and very friendly, if you’re not sure what to get just ask for a recommendation and they will blow your mind. Thanks guys!”

“Nice cafe. Breakfast was lovely and reasonably priced. Beware of lunchtime (1-2) parking restrictions in surrounding roads. Recommended.”

“We stopped here for a spot of dinner and we were very impressed. The restaurant was very quiet but it was early evening, and we were greeted with a warm welcome. The food was good and value for money. There are alcoholic and soft drinks available and an extensive menu The restaurant is clean and modern and the staff Very friendly and helpful.”

“Very good value for money. Sushi was good for what you are paying and is presented nicely with good choice of bubble teas. Atmosphere of restaurant could be improved”

“Quality grub, Cod was very generous in size and chips were very delicious. Definitely try the cod and they do surprisingly good grilled burgers! Also southern fried chicken with chip shop chips is awesome!”

“Lovely family feel , they get to know the regulars . Lovely food and they always aim above the norm when your after the kinda food your looking for . Delivery guys are so polite , I always tip them . Food is great , I'm still hooked on certain things from the menu , wish I could diverse , but the food is so tasty and satisfying . Only thing I wish they would do is BOMBAY DUCK . For me then , it would be perfect.”
