Member Comments: "Stunning food, quick service, buzzy atmosphere and no booking and excellent value. Enoteca takes top slot in tier 1 but Carliccios otherwise cleans up.." 01/07

"...Friends of mine love it, but we wait to be convinced. We stopped by for lunch yesterday and came away feeling disappointed. We had two quite small portions of food....Additionally, there is no no-smoking area and, when asked, the waitress said they were waiting to see what the majority of their customers wanted..." 06.04

Enoteca Turi

28 Putney High St, SW15

Member Comments:
"Enoteca is definitely one of Putney's best restaurants.  They also host regional Italian wine tasting evenings which although rather pricey, are well worth it if you enjoy trying different wines.  They also pair the wines with food from the same region." 07/07

" Fantastic restaurant recently modernised architecturally but glad to say still offering the same high standard of food wine and ambiance. Traditional and modern Italian dishes. Booking advisable."

Member Comments:  Recently taken on by Pascal & Christine this restaurant offers great freshly cooked French food
"What a find! Everything was cooked to order - tasted & looked great - and the puddings were sublime. For a west putneyite - worth getting on the bike for - there was parking available directly outside if we had driven."

Specialising in Spanish cuisine, Goya Ole’s aim is to provide a top quality tapas dining experience, using best ingredients obtainable, offering well-sourced Spanish wines, and serving these efficiently in modern, stylish and friendly surroundings.
Member Comments: 
"The Tapas were great, the house wine warm and full, the paella I had the best I've had. The staff were excellent too, and the manager had a drink with us and turned out to be a great guy who knew his way around all the clubs and restaurants in the area. He was open and ate his chef's food himself. There was no pressure, and things were near perfect..01/08
"..impressed. Better Tapas than most of the places we've visited in Spain. They have obviously spent a lot of money refurbishing it, but it seemed very quiet." 11/05

Putney Station

Part of the Brinkley’s Restaurant chain in London - it is spacious, light and modern with a long bar and large windows at the front. The bar serves cocktails and has a happy hour from 5 – 7pm. The menu is contemporary, modern British/Italian-style serving pizzas, pastas, steaks, burgers, bruschettas, salads and puddings.
Member Comments: "slightly more upmarket bars to drink in. It has an excellent & reasonably priced wine list ... and table service. There's a bar at the front where you can have light meals if you want, but they don't try to chivvy you into it as there's also a big restaurant area at the back.."

The menus have been sketched around a Mediterranean versus English canvas. The arc shaped restaurant boasts two floors - both of which provide panoramic views. The ground floor is fitted with a plush cocktail bar and is surrounded by café style table and chairs which spill out of the receding glass doors on to the paved river edge. It is here where you will find a pontoon which perches onto the river - this area is a prime spot for summer "al fresco" eating.

Italian/ Mediterranean menu - associated with Freedom Brewery - the only lager micro brewery in the U.K. With the fresh natural handcrafted beers served in a contemporary & modern environment. £5 Lunch menu available Monday - Friday
Member Comments: "eaten there twice. The pizzas are huge (and I am a very greedy boy), prices are reasonable"
Very good food, large portions (agreed!) will be fantastic summer haunt with seat all around outside. Good kids menu on offer as well.
"service was a little slow but quite pleasant for an extended Sunday lunch. The wine was good. squid starter was fab and new potatoes will dill side were great, the blackened salmon was a bit rubbery but I guess I prefer poached/baked. Overall an 8/10 for a sunny Sunday lunch down by the river for a reasonable price 30/head."
