The 30 Best Local restaurants in Sidcup

“A very good restaurant with excellent service. The staff were extremely polite and welcoming. I would definitely return.”

“I went for my birthday dinner at this fine restaurant and I must say there service is top notch. From the ambience to the food. The waiting time for food is okay, and all the food I had was hot. Amazing service thank you.”

“What a lovely old school Italian restaurant that is reminiscent of how original family restaurants were years ago. Staff are so welcoming in true Italian fashion from the moment you enter, and I have never been asked anywhere so fast if I want a drink! All food that comes out of their kitchen is cooked fresh and with heaps of love - the salmon and crab duo starter kicks the flavours off, and the scallops are big, fresh and cooked in an eclectic harmony of flavours of wine, cream and stock. Even the accompanying rice is firm, meaty and also cooked in the same. Meal for three and with bread, wine, water and service under £150 which is pretty reasonable for all what we had.”

“The food was 100/10. I ordered the veggie platter, short rib, I'm still dreaming about the mash, the cauliflower fritters. Everything was wonderful. I need to go back”

“My friends & I went to this superb restaurant for lunch today. I have been here on numerous occasions. It never dissappoints! . My friends loved it. VIV’s new favourite.

“10/10 recommend. They’ve recently got a new award-winning chef at this restaurant who cooks the most incredible food! We’ve been 3 times this past month already and will be coming back again very soon. Strongly urge everyone to try this place out, you won’t be disappointed. Staff are also very welcoming and there’s a really nice atmosphere.”

“I came to Penelope’s for lunch with my partner and two friends on Thursday afternoon. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the location of the restaurant is stunning with lovely views all around. It’s definitely a hidden gem in the community, if you haven’t checked it out yet you definitely should. To eat we had a few items off the lunch menu which they serve between 12.30-4pm, my friends had a cheese and bean jacket potato and a chilli jacket potato both came with a side salad and they were delightful, the potato was lovely and soft inside and the fillings were loaded! My partner had a fish finger sandwich and I had an amazing falafel, hummus wrap which had roasted red peppers inside, the falafel was delicious I will definitely return for that alone. We also tried from the festive drinks menu an orange hot chocolate which was really delicious and looked beautiful too! We all cleaned our plates and left very full and satisfied, we will definitely be returning especially with all the exciting things they have going on over the Christmas period, the staff recommended us to check out their instagram to see their upcoming events and we’ll definitely come to bring the kids to meet Santa in their Christmas grotto!! If you haven’t been down to Penelope’s I’d recommend popping down, we’ll be trying their pizza next as that looks unreal too!!”

“Lovely pasta with tomatoe sauce. Very friendly Staff. Service was very good when it was very busy. Pasta arrived within 10 mins,and was very hot. Nice cold 7up free with nice clean glass. Spoke to Manager,and told him restaurant was run brilliant,and to keep up the good work 10/10. He was very happy,and offered me a free strawberry ice cream. Good karma is always rewarded.”

“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.”

“Delisious food for a really good price. The decor of the restaurant is not the most impressive one, but the food quality and the kind service make the visit the most pleasant experience.”

“Food was hot and full of flavour. We ordered curry, goat and festival. Stew chicken with rice and peas. Mac and cheese. Plantains and coleslaw. It was all good! Best Caribbean Takeaway by a long shot! It’s a go to every time we’re in the area.”

“Food Service and Atmosphere are not enough words to describe how happy I am when eating at Coast. The venue is lovely the food is fresh, succulent and mouth watering with their own twist in every dish (who knew pomegranate went so well with a breakfast). They are just so friendly and welcoming I would suggest walking in when you’re local.”

“The meal we knew would be great, but to be honest it was it was phenomenal... The service was genuinely brilliant, we felt more like one of their friends than customers... Absolutely amazing place... thank you so much.”

“Lovely food, good prices , very friendly staff!! Amazing!!!”

“Delicious Italian food, great service and a warm and cosy vibe on a chilly December evening. The food was excellent, great flavours, generous portions, beautifully cooked. The servers were very careful to check everything and make sure that my nut allergy was catered for. Big thank you to Martin and Beverley for serving us so well, we'll certainly be back again.”

“A brilliant hidden gem! If you love fantastic food with brilliant service this is a must visit. Plenty of choice of mains and desserts. Would especially recommend the pizza, lamb or pork belly and the creme brulee”

“The What the Flip is a true gem among burger joints! They elevate the burger experience to the next level by preparing everything from the buns to the patties and sauces in-house. This results in fresh and authentic flavours that truly stand out. Every bite is a flavour explosion, and the attention to detail in food preparation is evident. Moreover, the laid-back atmosphere and friendly service complete the experience, making this place a must-visit for any burger aficionado looking for something exceptionally delicious.”

“I absolutely LOVED this place ! Great chips, signature burger and vegetarian burger were simply amazing. The burger sauce is a must try !”

“Amazing food and an amazing night. Food is 10/10 and so are the staff, will definitely be back. :)”

“Had a Birthday dinner few days ago and can only thank for a brilliant service and food.Haven't been there for few years and surprised the restaurant kept the same good quality of food, and service, maybe even better. Didn’t make any pictures this time but everyone was very happy with they food.I don't know any other peoples names working there but they all were very good and polite . It's very good vines available in restaurant.The man name Paul was serving our table ,he he was listening very carefully what vine I like and he recommended very good vine 10 of 10,just perfect.Well done to all stuff,very nice and cosy atmosphere there,big Well done to the chefs. The only thing I want say is not a complaints I didn't ask when we start ordering the food,but it will be nice if customers can be asked about the allergies before ordering food. So is the best Italian restaurant in the area for sure. Inga”

“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.”

“Never disappointed by the food when we come here. Family run and beautifully simple. The seafood options are always my favourite. It’s like stepping back in time decor wise, but the food is fabulous.”

“Too be fair here , I see some negative reviews, OK I see alot of people waiting for thier fish n chips , or what ever they are ordering outside on a Friday . Why ? Because its popular ! Mistakes happen , don't think its fair to down star , for being run by humans . I saw a review about a guy ordering a cheeseburger at midday - yes I feel your pain , but when I tried to order a half pounder I was told it costs too much money to put the grill on ??? , young guy btw.. what I will say is , I normally go up the road MA'S.t.. .ry.. ( I'm not here to advertise) his prices have increased , stealthily. I thought the cods looked small at oval ? But then I havnt ordered one yet , I'm hoping they where a small ? Since the other place has to break of the tail to fit it in the box ( Large) . Price wise , we ll I think the prices at the oval may be slightly higher. One thing is for certain , the owner , the indies man , oldish , is such a nice fella , he always waves at me when I walk past . Think I'm gonna try a large skinless cod soon .”

“We went to this restaurant last night and I can honestly say, we've tried a lot of restaurants in the area, royal kitchen, jalsha, oval brasserie, moghul.. but this was the nicest Indian food we've ever had. Great selection of poppadom chutneys, the best prawn puri starter we have ever had , main meal fantastic. Service absolutely brilliant. Will definitely make this out local from now on. Highly recommend”
