Deep in Peckham's trendy Bellenden Village, The Bellenden Brasserie has built a popular following solely on word of mouth recommendation. The interior has not changed much since the restaurant changed hands in 2007, but the food has undergone a startling transformation. French and Mediterranean food is presented with artistic flair and the meals are pleasingly sophisticated, without being overbearing. Breast of duck with walnut mash and glazed apple is popular, as is the pumpkin risotto. Fresh ingredients ensure that the flavours equal the aesthetics of the food. The Bellenden Brasserie's reputation is set to travel a lot further than Peckham; book now to avoid disappointment.
