Hi All,
I didn't see a thread on restaurants and being a bit of a foodie (well, I just like to eat), I thought I'd share some of my local faves. I figured if you want full reviews and locations etc - google is king. So I've set out the basics and my "personal" reasons for why these are my faves. I'm hoping others will share their top tips too - would love to try new places.

Chinese / Far East FavesGourmet San

For great ?spicy? Sichuan Chinese food and also non-spicy traditional Chinese options too. They do deliver to E14. If you?re eating-in, expect the usual Chinese ?efficient? service.
Cafe East (Canada Water / Surrey Quays)
100 Redriff Road, London SE16 7LH
020 7252 1212
Vietnamese food ? a nice selection of around 30 dishes ? its about quality not variety ? they know what dishes they do best and don?t try to load up the menu with too many options.
China Palace (Excel)
2 Western Gateway, City of London, London E16 1DR
020 7474 0808
Nice place for dim sum ? our regular weekend lunch ?thing? ? for four adults, round 9-10 dishes, it averages about ?10 so quite reasonable.
Italian Il Bordello
81 Wapping High St, City of London E1W 2YN

What can I say ? great food, great service ? the ?old? traditional Italian waiters ? belissima.
