Restaurants in Crystal Palace
Cradled between five London boroughs including Croydon, Bromley, Lewisham, Southwark and Lambeth, Crystal Palace is an exciting melting pot of cultures, lifestyles and tastes. Because of this, the area has choice to boot when it comes to eating out – from historic bistros, to quirky burger vans, to cross-continental flavour experiences, Crystal Palace has it all. We’ve selected a few top local spots to feast your eyes (or your bellies!) on:
Joanna’s
A firm favourite with locals, this traditional eatery is perfect for those celebrating a special occasion, with a menu celebrating the very best of ‘seasonal British produce’. Joanna’s has been the pride of Crystal Palace since 1978, when husband and wife team, John and Christina Ellner, first unveiled their business on the Triangle. Expect exemplary service and vintage continental interiors.

Mediterranea
This little gem on Westow Street serves up exquisite Sardinian and Mediterranean food and is the brainchild of another pair of wedded foodies, Efisio and Matilde Fronteddu. Offering a unique menu far from the usual suspects of Italian dining (forget your carbonaras!), make sure you try the pizza, which has been hailed by many as the best in South London.

Numidie
If you’re looking for a relaxed, atmospheric setting and love chowing down on the very best dishes from North West Africa, you have to try Numidie. Boasting a delicious Algerian and Moroccan menu, diners can expect tantalising tagines and mouth-watering meat dishes, as well as a varied choice of cocktails and wines.

Roti Brothers
OK, OK… so technically Roti Brothers is a burger van. BUT with outdoor seating, unbeatable prices and the juiciest burgers around, you’d be crazy not to visit. Think hearty food and festival vibes - without the cheap ingredients.

Dem
Authentic Turkish cuisine has never tasted better than at Dem, located at top of Central Hill, just off the Crystal Palace Triangle. With the most succulent meat on offer fresh from the barbeque, visitors can also expect heaps of tasty vegetarian options, including Musakka and Falafel. This restaurant is ideal for young families, with yummy kids’ meals available too. And if you don’t feel like eating out, Dem also offers a takeaway service – what more could you ask for?

Crystal Palace Market
A special mention has to go to Crystal Palace Market, which earlier this year was nominated for the Proctors Best Breakfast award. Offering a wonderful Brunch selection, this eatery also boasts an eclectic mix of plates on its Á La Carte menu, from glorious Gaspacho to gorgeous Gnocchi. Why not try the establishment’s young new venture, Smoked Bone, dishing up the best American classic this side of the Atlantic.
