££A family recipe book turned into a Peckham restaurant, run by the grandchildren of the cook it came from.
Connie's Pizza
££Entered the European top 50 at 48 within a year of opening and took the 'one to watch' award with it - the only London pizzeria on that list south of the river.
From Andrea Asciuti, who founded 081 Pizzeria. Occupies the railway arches under Queen's Road Peckham station, in the old Little Kudu site. Calls its own style 'Bri-talian' - a crisp London base with Italian method.
Guacamoles
£Hand-pressed tortillas dipped in birria juice before they hit the griddle, from a stall in Rye Lane Market.
Kruk
££Refuses to pick a region - khao soi from the north, moo hong from the south, som tam from Isaan - and took a Bib Gourmand within months of opening.
Mr Bao
££Gua bao and Taiwanese small plates in Peckham, at a price that makes it a regular rather than a trip.
Naïfs
£££A seasonal vegan set menu on a quiet Peckham street, listed in the Michelin Guide - rare for an entirely vegan kitchen.
Old Spike
£A Peckham roastery that employs and trains people who have experienced homelessness - the coffee stands on its own, which is rather the point.
Peckham Bazaar
£££Chef John Gionleka cooks across the Balkans over charcoal, Greek dishes to the fore; the courgette fritters and grilled octopus have been on the menu since day one.
The Begging Bowl
£££Jane Alty trained under David Thompson and cooks northern Thai in Peckham - small plates meant to be ordered across the table.
The Flygerians
£The 2 Fly Chicks Plate is the order — two pieces of chicken in Mama's Forbidden Sauce, a sweet smoky red marinade, with jollof and plantain, £17.50.
The Montpelier
££A Peckham corner local where the Sunday roast comes with a live jazz trio from 7.30pm - the current kitchen residency (Rocco) grills whole fish and shucks some of the better oysters in South London the rest of the week.
Jazz is SUNDAYS ONLY, from 7.30pm - the rest of the week is quiz nights and DJs. The kitchen is a residency and changes hands, so check who is cooking before recommending the food specifically.
