Levan is the trendy Peckham destination for laid-back vibes, stellar seasonal sharing plates, and a dreamy natural wine list that’ll keep you coming back.
"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 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
"If we’re honest, all we want to do for NYE is have a dinner party. But who has the complete triple threat package of being a great cook, owning a fabulous house, and having lots of wine? No one in London, that’s who. So you should just go to Levan instead. The European sharing plates spot in Peckham has a bustling open kitchen, records stacked haphazardly, and glamorous, midnight blue walls—ideal for tipsy late-night selfies. But instead of the chips and dips you’d rustle up, they serve Jenga-style stacks of comté fries and smoked burrata tortellini. " - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"Out of all of London’s small-plates-serving-and-natural-wine-pouring restaurants, Levan is one of the best. The Peckham spot is now doing a menu of dishes to collect and finish at home, like potato, mushroom, and Vacherin pie, or slow-cooked lamb with mint and goat’s curd. You can pre-order everything from their website, including some choice bottles, of course." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Sitting at Levan, comté fries on the counter, some soft 2007 indie hit playing in the background, and your best mate gazing up at you like you’re a deity. Well, life doesn’t get much better than that. You might as well lay down on the floor of this achingly cool and charming all-day Peckham wine bar next to Buddy, with a big, excellent glass of pinot noir and kiss the world goodbye. Mention in your booking notes that you’re bringing a dog, and these guys will seat you somewhere suitable, too. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
