London Cosmopolitan: Good Eats at Brixton Village
food busyness
However in recent years, Brixton have gone through a series of gentrification starting with the renovation of Ritzy Cinema on the corner of Coldharbour Lane and recently transforming the once-neglected Granville Arcade, now called Brixton Village, into a bustling foodie market.
Like Market Row, Brixton Village is a covered arcade with a mix of butchers, fishmongers, ethnic grocers, vintage shops, and a tiny restaurants with no more than 15-20 seats each.
There's Mama Lan, a Beijing dumpling and noodle specialty shop; Elephant, which serves up samosa and curries thali-style for knock-out low price of £6; Okan, a Japanese okonomiyaki shop; French & Grace, whips up some lovely crepes; Bellantoni's for home-made pastas; two Colombian restaurants, El Rancho de Lalo and Restaurante Santafereno, both who source their meats from Carniceria Los Andes butchers; much-loved Clapham brunch place Breads Etcetera with their tabletop signature Dualit toasters and blankets; and Brixton Village Grill for Portuguese-style piri-piri chicken.
to grab a table at Honest Burger, supposedly the best burger joint in town thanks to their 35-day aged patties served on sourdough buns, Keenan and I snagged an outdoor table at the family-run KaoSarn for delicious Thai food.
I'm sure I'll be back to Brixton Village in no time given it is only a five minute bus ride from Clapham Common.

24 Granville Arcade, SW9 8PR Eritrean Cosy Eritrean restaurant with great traditional coffee It is best to arrive at this cosy Eritrean restaurant a little later in the evening and gather round a big injura – a huge sour pancake onto which curries are spooned, leaving everyone to tear bits off to scoff, all in a hazy aroma of the well shaken traditional coffee.
386 Coldharbour Lane, SW9 8LF 020 7737 4144 THE AVOCADO CAFE Avocado based market stall If you are partial to an Avocado then head here for a tasty selection of Bruschettas, sandwiches and salads, they have appeared at the Station Road market on the first and third Friday of each month, but check their website or twitter feed for the latest news of their whereabouts.
75 Atlantic Road, SW9 8PU 020 7396 0609 BLUE TURTLE OASIS Coffee House Welcome addition to Loughborough Junction Some great coffee can be found at this little new, easily missed place in Loughborough Junction, although be warned there is a fairly limited range of snacks on offer.

SOUP PLUS MEAT MAIN | RESTAURANTE SANTAFEREÑO | £8 ...
food
The deal involves a traditional Bogotá soup, big too, followed by a meaty main with sides of plantain, rice and potatoes (either chips or roasted).
The soup changes daily between oxtail, bean, chicken, tripe (which I had, lovely).
And mains tend to cycle between chicken or oxtail stew, chorizo, steak (pictured), or crispy pork belly.
During the week this costs £7.50, includes a drink, and they'll have made enough of the special to last all day.
If it does, they'll replace it with another meat item from the a la carte, which is what happened during my visit (the special was oxtail stew, but I got steak because I visited around 4pm on a Saturday).
