"If you struggle to relax knowing that you could be making small talk with the future parent of your child, then, same. But worries melt away at East Dulwich spot, Kartuli. This Georgian restaurant could easily be the home of a bohemian author. One with a vintage gramophone and a panduri—a Georgian string instrument—hanging from the wall, waiting to be strummed after everyone has sunk a few bottles of wine from the heaving shelves. It’s all very cool in a way that makes you want to take a European holiday, day drink, laugh loudly, and talk about art." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
