The 14 Best Restaurants In Deptford

"A meal at Viet Alley brings our blood pressure down and the bún bò huê has us gazing into the glistening broth like Narcissus. Drop down into a seat and feel your brain switch off as cave-like black walls envelope you and rich, deep bowls of phở soothe you. We like to spend an undisturbed lunch hour or two sitting under the convincing fake blossom tree and people-watching through the front window. In the evening, this BYOB Vietnamese spot fills up with groups of friends making the most of extensive vegan menus and shareable ‘duck’ summer rolls—which are a must-order—as well as satisfying, sticky ‘pork’ ribs." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
