The Best Restaurants in Camberwell, South East London | Eater London

"The closer you get to Denmark Hill, the more handheld and portable the food becomes. This is because much of the eating options in the area are servicing workers from either Kings College Hospital, or the bus garage around the corner. Sanchez, a Colombian bakery which opened during lockdown, is well placed to capture this time-poor demographic: buñuelos, little stress balls of fried dough and cheese, empanadas filled with potato and strands of beef, and best of all, salteñas, the soft bois of Latin American handheld pies. One does not attempt to eat a salteña lightly, it must be held as delicately as a newborn’s head, nibbling into the soft, baked casing, before pressing gently to bring forth a riotous mix of chicken, green and black olives, slices of soft boiled egg, and delicious, scalding broth." - Jonathan Nunn
