Anyone got any recommendations for somewhere fun and not too expensive.. I'm sure someone told me there is a great pizza place near there.. but can't remember where it is or what it's called.. anyway, somewhere with a bit of atmosphere for meeting old friends and chatting (also a few veggy options would be nice!)

there's a place just as you move into Borough called Tas - might be a chain, i'm not sure. fucking fantastic Turkish/Cypriot food. lots and lots of fantastic veggie options

How about the George Inn? Not exactly a restaurant but a pub serving food

Ah yes Tas.. I hadn't thought of that.. I often go to the one on The Cut... good idea.. I'll recommend that as one..

Thanks both of you... The George Inn... I like that place...another great idea..
I'll forward both these suggestions to my mates and see what they reckon...
The Banana Store (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/show.shtml/1580/Banana_Store/London_Bridge) is another bar which does food, just the other side of Southwark Cathedral.
BTW I think there are 4 branches of Taz.
tehre's a greek place on the river near london bridge which is supposed to be quite good ...
edit: here you are - it's the bankside one -

I went to that place for a work christmas do, and didn't think it was all that great. The food was pretty average, and it was expensive (although I think the prices were jacked up cos it was christmas). You could have the same thing around stokie for a fraction of the price... (albeit in less flashy surroundings)
"fish" in borough market is pretty good, a touch pricy, maybe £20 a head if you don't drink too much :D

I'd only recommend the one by the GLobe theatre but it is cheap as chips, for 9 nuggets you can get a fine meal, with free gorgeous soup, olives and bread as well!

The food remains pretty reliable, but the service can be ridiculously slow when they are busy (Thurs/Fri night and Sat lunchtime) and not much better at other times.

Peruvian?

(havn't been myself)
Asian fusion?
http://www.london-se1.co.uk/restaurants/view.php?venueid=20
(booking advised)
I'll second Maggot's Bananna Bar tho' it's a basement bar, it does have very liberal view of chucking out time + Chzech bud on tap
Avoid the restaurants at Vinopolis and the Globe Theatre (expensive for what they are)
For the best view, try the upstairs area of the Pizza Express by the Globe.

Dom Phillipe?
Yes!!!! cheers for that :) :cool:
it's actually Meson Don Felipe is anyone else is interested.
Suchard's Thai restaurant is on Tooley St, 5 mins walk from London Bridge station. It's the best Thai food in the whole of London by miles (in my opinion, and many others!) - I worked near there for 3 years and we went almost every 2 weeks!
Home cooked, fresh, cheap, loads of veggie options, and in a casual cafe-style environment. Utterly, utterly divine. :)
The Peruvian place that Dashing Blade suggests is also very nice!
i don't know about the upstairs, but the downstairs of tito's peruvian isn't anything special. avoid la rocola/torito negro/whateverit'sjustbeenrenamed.
Fina Estampa on Tooley Street (which is Peruvian) is lovely (good food & service & nice ambience) & I think it has some decent veggie options.

There's a pretty decent Pizza Express around the back of the water front (near the gallery with all those wire frame sculptures).
Edit: Oops just realised I was thinking of Tower Bridge not London Bridge... :o

I lived one street down from there, it's a fantastic place. If someone fancied thai, I would suggest going there, even if you are on the other side of london. Bring your own bottle too.
There's also the pizza express under london bridge!

Auberge on tooley street, just opposite the station exit is supposed to be a nice french restaurant and i don't think it is too expensive.

Another vote for the Real Greek... not much else around there though.

I'm vegetarian. Went there once about 5mths. ago and have never felt the need to go back. Food was unappealing, unimaginative and greasy. WTF is deep-fat fryer oil doing on lettuce anyway? Served in a cramped transport-caff/school dinners style atmosphere.
As far as being the best in London, you're having a laugh. Places like Busaba and Thai Squared wipe the floor with this place any time, as do any number of independent restaurants in the Kingsland Road area.
If you must eat in this neck of the woods, do yourself a favour, cross over Tower Bridge and go to Wagamamas.
i had lunch at that tapas bar just outside borough market, on saturday, excellent food, but not exactly cheap...
there's a nice tapas bar on lower marsh st not too close to Borough market but it's walkign distance. cheap n cheerful. not too sure when it's open.

Haven't been back since my then gf got her bag nicked there... they were a bit wanky about it.
OK tapas. Plenty of places to go in the Cut though.

Brindisa. I think they are :cool: and pretty good value imo.

Wasn't their fault it got nicked, but these things stick in your mind a bit.

I've been in the upstairs bit and it's nice. It's got vegetarian options and it's cheap!

I might have to go there... I've heard more and more good things about it and the fact it actually has veggie options is amazing...
