About Platform1 Restaurant
More about the restaurant: Platform1 Restaurant
The award-winning Platform1 Restaurant is one of the most unique in London. No, it’s not next to a train station, instead the name derives from Platform1’s mission to provide a platform for up-and-coming chefs to devise their own menus and get their names out into the culinary world. Hence the restaurant is a permanent pop-up – situated on Lordship Lane in the heart of East Dulwich – with a theme of rotation. There will always be new and curious menus to try depending on what chef is guest in the kitchen, but there is also a mainstay a la carte that offers refined British flavours. Platform1 Restaurant is making waves across London, and you’re going to love it. Reserve a table now!

The British love an underdog, and London loves Platform1 Restaurant precisely because it champions the underdogs. Not only does this permanent pop-up restaurant in East Dulwich rotate its kitchen with guest up-and-coming chefs, founder Chloe Gounder-Forbes also ensures all herbs and vegetables are produced on a grow-to-order basis, and when it comes to the wine, there’s a focus on forgotten, indigenous grape varieties. You can find Platform1 Restaurant on Lordship Lane, where the humble and cosy restaurant decor is just as endearing as the mission behind the whole operation.
Of course, given the rotating nature of the kitchen, the menus at Platform1 are always changing. Chefs are invited from all over the world to cook up varied fine cuisine so do be sure to investigate who’s in charge of the kitchen when you’re arranging your visit. For some consistency, however, Platform1 does offer a small, elegant a la carte, and on it you’ll find some of the best British dishes in East Dulwich and, indeed, London. There is pigeon breast or venison tenderloin for meat lovers, hake with with calcots and romesco sauce if you’re feeling fishy, while the vegetarian plate of sprouts, haloumi, lemongrass and honey is as exciting on the tongue as it sounds. Platform1 is only small and, as we say, London loves it. You’d be wise to book a table well in advance.
