"Whether you come to Levan to escape the office for a Jenga-style stack of comté fries or for a glass of wine mid-afternoon, this Peckham restaurant is the easy holiday that every Londoner needs in their arsenal. Breathe in. Breathe out. You’re going to have a good time." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Levan is a classy little Peckham spot that serves seriously excellent small plates which definitely constitute a bit of this, bit of that situation. That being said, when the the comté fries alone are so good that you’ll consider changing your name to Saffron Aioli, it’s quite hard to not ‘accidentally’ keep on ordering. After all, you don’t want your glass of natural wine to get lonely on its own, do you? Bits to order: Duck rillettes, burrata, and our lord and saviour, the comté fries." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Because you did the stupid thing you accused them of. Where’ve you put that letter from the landlord? Can’t believe you’ve lost it. You lose everything. Absolutely everything. Honestly, you’re like a senile goldfish. Even if you got bloody Dory stoned she’d have a better chance at not losing things than you. Nightmare. At that exact moment, you find the very important letter in your - yes, your - bag. Fuck. Run, do not walk, to your phone and book a meal at Peckham’s Levan. This casual all-day wine bar has the kind of seriously excellent small plates, and the kind of relaxed, stress-free feel that will hopefully keep your flatmate’s dagger eyes at bay. Make up meal:Hello wine list. Then comté fries, some ham, the celeriac ravioli, more natural wine, apple tarte tartin, more wine. Sorted." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Casual all-day wine bar Levan is now starting dinner service at 5.30pm and offering their set menu at £33 to diners who join them for the first sitting. Plus, they have a lunch set menu every Friday where you can get two courses for £18 or three for £22." - rianne shlebak
"Levan is that rare thing in London: a wine bar and European-leaning, sharing plates restaurant that actually serves plates of food big enough to share. It’s a super casual and relaxed place. The kind that makes you feel that you’re more mature, successful, and cool than you likely are. Well, that’s what it did for us anyway. Hit it for a glass of something from their excellent natural wine list, and stay until you’ve eaten everything on the menu. Or head next door to their more casual, drop-in sibling, Bar Levan." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, riaz phillips
