Went to Reds for a drink and a bite to eat before going to see Quantum of Solace at the Odeon. Reds is unpretentious and has no background music blaring. Service is good and the food is remarkably tasty and good value.

My vegetarian companion enjoyed her 'Creole' burger which turned out to be filled with a huge chunk of fish, grilled to perfection. I tucked in to a 'Hawaiian' burger which was a standard beefburger topped with a pineapple ring. Simple, but enjoyable.

We'll be back there next week for a meal prior to going over the road to the theatre. I could become a regular!

All the dishes we've tried so far are of a high quality - the chicken is delightfully tender and fresh, onion b's are lovely too, as is the Nan. However we thought the main dishes we ordered have all been a bit similar in taste. The staff are really nice, but they should be for the prices they charge!
Its well worth a try...

This little cafe, with bench seating, is a South Wimbledon favourite of ours. Its menu is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese rice and noodle dishes served in generous portions by young and pleasant staff. Prices are very reasonable (eg £5 or £6 for a groaning plateful of chicken and vegetables with black bean sauce) and it's a great place for hungry youngsters on a limited budget. Only problem is that service is so speedy and the turnover so fast that your visit is more likely to last forty minutes than a whole evening!

We find this a welcome change from other Wimbledon restaurants and a pleasant place for some tasty Lebanese food. It's small and unpretentious with friendly staff who remember you. Our favourite food there is a selection of starters and small dishes which we prefer to the main (slightly plain) meat dishes. They often play Lebanese music on CD which helps to blot out the rather bleak urban view from the window.

Food, not so good.
Drink, well fortunately they don't have control over it, and they do have a little more choice than average. Nice to sit outside in the summer, and The Odeon is just next door.Food, not so good.

Nando's Chickenland - Healthy fast food by jo104

Nando's is a South african franchise which offer Portugese style PERI-PERI chicken. Ok being South African I am a tad biased but this is a healthy fast food outlet for eating in or takeaway.

The chickens are flame grilled in front of you & spiced with the mildest sauce being lemon & herb or the hotest being xtra hot (it burns!)

An order is placed at the counter then customers collect their own cutlery and sauces. Bottomless soft drinks & frozen youghurt on tap are available.

The food is very fat free as the grilling takes away half the fat & their salads have low fat dressing which you can have on the side.

My favourite meal here is lemon & herb chicken breast in a burger with cheese & pineapple simply the best! Of course their chips are something special as well spicy or plain.

Nando franchises are now an institution in the UK & your nearest one can be found on the website www.nandos.co.uk

The decor is modern and tasteful, not sure why there is a wooden well in the front though.

Service is very good, except for the one lady who came out and could obviously not speak a word of English. Not helpful when you are ordering drinks...

We had a starter of a vegetable spring roll each, and they brought some shoots and cucumber pieces for us too. This was very nice.

Lance had the crispy duck and I had chilli king prawns. We both ordered some noodles with bean sprouts.

My king prawns had no chilli taste AT ALL (and the menu said it was hot - 2 chilli signs next to it), they came in this very thick garlicy sauce that was quite gross actually (look at the photos). I managed to eat 4 and then could stomach no more. I usually love seafood, but the sauce put me off it totally. I filled up on the noodles.

Lance left quite a bit of the duck too. It was okay, nothing special. It was brought to him cold too. We left feeling unsated and hungry as we had left so much behind.

The place did not have that much ambiance to be honest, they played this funny music box music too, we felt flat there, and would not go again.

Jim Thompson´s Thai Restaurant, bar and bazaar offers the best from both the East and Western worlds.

JT´s is inspired by the legendary, charismatic character of Jim Thompson, a brilliant American who lived in Thailand and was famous for his entrepreneurial skills, his lavish hospitality, ebullient personality and famous collection of Thai silks & artefacts.

The vibrant, warm, welcoming, and relaxed interiors are brilliantly enhanced by the hanging bazaar of genuine oriental artefacts suspended from the ceilings and artfully placed around the room all of which are for sale and they not only welcome, but encourage their customers to haggle and buy from the bazaar.

Jim Thompson´s offers unbeatable value, an exotic blend of oriental dishes made from the finest fresh ingredients, prepared and cooked to order, impressive oriental cocktails and a great variety of cool beers and all the fun of the bazaar.

Without fail Jim Thompson´s is always great fun to dine at and the food is always out of this world!

JT´S have 4 other restaurants within the London area that are Taste London eateries - give them a go!
