Terroirs East Dulwich on Postcard

"Toasted, East Dulwich. A cosy and atmospheric wine bar and restaurant. Its selling point is the impressive selection of wines (over 200 varieties) that can be sampled at its regular wine tastings. However Toasted also offers coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything all in one place!"

"Many, many years ago when we were in our early twenties, we had dreams of what adulthood would be. We’d own a Dyson, drink wine that cost more than a fiver, and eat things like celeriac for fun. Thanks to Terroirs in East Dulwich those dreams have come true. This wine bar and bistro is a strictly grown-up affair with everything from a smoked eel small plate situation to huge quiches, and natural wines. It’s an intimate spot and with social distancing applied, there aren’t that many seats - so just be sure to book ahead." - Heidi Lauth Beasley

"Formerly known as Toasted, this neighbourhood wine bar has lost none of its neighbourly charm since restaurant parent Terroirs assumed naming rights. The formula that has made Terroirs and its Clapham sibling Soif so successful is on full display here: eclectic wine lists with a good selection by the glass, classy charcuterie boards, and seasonal, modern European cooking. Effortlessly romantic." - Emma Hughes

This is a 5 star review because the service and the food is fantastic. Really impressed on that front. However, if you go here just know that the portions (even for large plates) are not that big. You can see the beef large plate, with the olive for scale. As long as you know that going in, you will really enjoy this excellent restaurant.

Fave restaurant in East Dul for dinner. Such a lovely relaxed vibe and the food is delightful! Real French bistro classics. Could do with adding some natural wines to the menu!

All staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Very happy to recommend a bunch of wines based on your taste. Great prices to drink in and take home, I always leave knowing much more than when I went. The regular tasting events are brilliant value and a lot of fun. Whether you go for lunch, dinner or just drinks you're guaranteed to have a great time.

Great Sunday special selection of wines at retail price. A lot to explore. Friendly and attentive service.

Delicious food and wine pairings. We had 5 courses and cheese before pudding. Staff gave us a tasting session of the pudding wines and grappa which was so friendly and never charged us for the drinks. Will definitely be back! The perfect place for a birthday or celebratory meal

This was my third trip to Terroirs and I won’t go back again. First time (after keeping us waiting for 20 minutes) they said they couldn’t do coffee because their grinder wasn’t working - I wondered why they couldn’t buy some decent ground coffee from the millions of shops along the high street? We left as brunch without coffee isn’t brunch and went to Tart instead, which was fabulous. The second time it was the emptiest place on Lordship Lane and just post-lockdown. The brunch menu was v limited which was fine, but they really struggled to be flexible and mix and match items on the menu as this might be difficult for the chef (?!). Eventually they worked it out and the food was pleasant, ‘though not stunning. The coffee was great! Third time was bank holiday Monday brunch. Last day of ‘eat out to help out’. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and confused. We perched on a wobbly stool by a barrel outside and then discovered that the brunch menu wasn’t on (only Saturday and Sunday - not bank holiday Mondays) and the main menu options were not what we wanted at 11:30am on a bank holiday. Sandwich choices were v limited and a little strange (imho) eg tuna and avocado croissant? When we gave up and said we’d just pay for our drinks and go, we were charged full price despite the ‘eat out to help out deal’. The waitress insisted it was only on food not drinks until I showed her the government website. Apparently they had excluded soft drinks from the offer throughout August. We left and went to a wonderful, friendly Italian restaurant just up the road and had a fabulous brunch. Wish we’d gone there in the first place and won’t be going back to Terroirs.

Went here for Sunday brunch. I found the menu to be lacking in options. I had the cheese omelette with a side portion of spinach. The omelette was tasty but the portion size was rather small. The service we received i cannot fault. There are better places in East Dulwich for brunch. I have a feeling this restaurant is probably better for evening meals than for breakfast/brunch.

Generally fantastic. I've been a few times and the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable, the food excellent and the wine even better. Top tips - order lots of their small, tapas style dishes to share rather than each ordering a main like you normally would. Don't miss the indulgent duck rillettes. Go on a Sunday afternoon as they often have a few wines on 50% mark down. We tried a £70 bottle we'd never normally get to try for £35. Speak to staff about the wine and ask their opinion, they have always steered us well and really know their stuff.
