The Best Restaurants In Bermondsey, London
Beloved Bermondsey, The Culture Trip’s hometown, offers a plethora of culinary treats. Bermondsey first gained its reputation as the ‘Larder of London’ because of the many food industry factories there, but now the Larder of London delivers on another level. Travel the world via Spanish tapas, Malaysian curries, French stews and American burgers, we’ve got it all.

3. Tanner & Co
Tanner & Co
Tanner & Co claim they will ‘take you back while bringing you bang up-to-date,’ which sums up their food menu perfectly. Their trademark Scotch eggs, for example, give a modern twist on the classic by using bacon and black pudding as opposed to traditional sausage meat, and the outcome is simply divine. The effortlessly cool interior and atmosphere means you can while away many hours working your way through their delectable cocktails.

4. The Garrison Public House
Gastropub, Pub, British, Vegetarian, Pub Grub
From breakfast through to dinner, The Garrison Public House covers all culinary bases. The typical pub interior and atmosphere makes this a warm, buzzing place to be. An old Bermondsey favourite, the pub’s menu is selective but by no means limited. This fashionable location means that many walk-ins are turned away, so make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment. For those who do make it in, we highly recommend sticking around for the desserts, trust us, it is mouthwatering.
5. Casse-Croûte
Restaurant, French, European
Bermondsey Yard Cafe
Whether you believe it or not, the Bermondsey Yard Cafe was once a disused car park, before the co-founders of The RoofTop Cafe stripped it back to the original industrial design. This unique dining concept offers an open plan kitchen and bar, with exposed raw materials contrasted against spots of colour. On warmer nights make sure you enjoy the garden for a completely different atmosphere. This truly is a hidden oasis right in the heart of Bermondsey.
