It was my first visit just before Christmas and my friends and I received a warm welcome. The wine list is extensive, with wine from all over the world and various regions. The prices were reasonable and so it was a great opportunity to try new wines that I hadn't had before. The interior was rustic and trendy and there was plenty of seating. The bar was quite quiet when we visited and it was a Friday night. I just hope the bar keeps getting regular custom to keep it open! It's great to have nice local spots to frequent without always having to travel into London or the local pub. More please!

The wine list is massive, and you can indeed order loads of them by the glass. The choice of food isn't huge, but what they do, they do well. The duck and chorizo cassoulet was hearty and delicious, and they also serve a range of charcuterie platters, all served with a generous basket of fresh, varied bread. You could happily spend hours in Mr Lawrence, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future to do just that.

Every time I have the £35 tasting menu, which is pure, adventurous, delight. The truly special thing about this restaurant (apart from the homegrown herbs, excellent service, and mellow ambiance) is that the menu changes every few weeks, leaping from one culinary wonder to the next. The tasting menu comprises 5 courses (sometimes with a couple more if the chef is feeling experimental). I have had the pleasure of enjoying: British fusion (including mushroom cerviche, a roasted garlic cream and basil soup, pork cheeks with peanut brittle, and a berry-creme filled choux pastry) Mediterranean (including roasted and pickled beet with a fluffy cloud of goats cheese, tender marinated pork belly, butter-soft scallops with pear, and a lime parfait with basil jelly) Chilean (including the most unbelievable slow-cooked beef lashed with salsa, perfectly bbq'd chicken with crushed corn, and my all-time-favourite dessert burnt marshmallow meringue with wine caramel, jelly and candied walnuts) It's exceptional value for a really filling, delectable, fun meal. If you don't live near East Dulwich, it's worth venturing SE to get some seriously good grub. The staff are friendly, chatty (but not obtrusive), and very knowledgeable. Oh, and the cocktails are excellent.

I'm hoping that Platform One pick winners every time as the Perilla dining experience was unbelievably good.

It's located in an old wine cellar (the oldest in London) and dimly lit by candles. If you are looking for a spot that matches the dark and moody London aesthetic and offers plenty of history, this place is perfect for you. I was very surprised by the quick wait time. We travelled in August which is their busiest time of year and the most we had to wait for a table was maybe 10 minutes. This place seems to be a true hidden gem and more popular among locals than tourists. The cheese boards are delicious and just as unique as the place itself. They have plenty of flavors to choose from and have several different options depending on your budget. We went with the two cheese board and everything included paired perfectly with the wine. The staff was great at giving us recommendations and even let us sample several flavors before committing. We loved this place so much we decided to come back our last day for round two. If you are travelling to London, I highly recommend adding this wine bar to your list of places to eat or drink in the city.

Really cool atmosphere with a low cave ceiling, comprehensive wine list and lots of cheese, charcuterie and some other British favorites. We began with wine, rose bubbles and a glass of champagne- unfortunately my champagne was room temperature which is a per peeve of mine but the rose bubbles were served ice cold in a cold glass?!

When we walked it, it was quite busy as a huge party was occupying a table across from us. A few other guest always dining as well. Not a big place but still very intimate and quite nice. Bar available but not sure if it's full bar. We did have a couple bottles of wine with dinner. Menu, straight to the point. Tapas and more tapas. As there was couple of us, we all chose three dishes to share. Each all looked amazing. The prawns, chorizo, mussels, meatballs, hummus, sun dried tomatoes salad, mushrooms, fried halloumi sticks, the skewers, pate, avocado toast, and croquettes. Everything was really good apart from it being slightly different from the states. The only downside, the skewer were a bit dry but presented beautifully. Everything was quite tasty and plenty to share for what we've ordered. Mussels were quite tasty in the sauce, chorizo was really good. Pate was more of sliced meat versus a spread. Service was great, staff was really friendly and chatty which was great. They ended the night for us with a little cocktail shot which was quite nice. Overall, amazing service, food was great, atmosphere was nice and friendly. Will definitely return.

First chance to check out this relatively new local venue in…read moremy local village and it was a huge hit. Small, friendly, a nice location just off the main shopping area, reasonably priced and generous portions. The food was delicious and worth venturing over for whether you are local or not! We had crisp halloumi, spiced aubergine with minced lamb, chilli peppered squid, pork belly and chips, a lovely crisp Pinot Grigio (my friend's a white drinker) and a couple of liqueur coffees. All this for £30 a head including a tip. The staff were efficient, attentive and charming. Young and energised, I loved the way all the front of house staff presented one table with a birthday dessert and sang with evident delight to the guest. We were made to feel very welcome despite booking a late table and the arrival of a large party of blokes who'd evidently been out for a Christmas get together added to the very European feel of this little gem. We'll be back

The menu is small but has all the essentials that a wine bar should have- charcuterie and cheese, tapenade, bread olives etc. After one glass we decided to try a bottle, and on recommendation by the staff ordered a lovely red from the cote du Rhone region, which was lush and velvety and fairly priced at £17.50 (plus £5 corkage to drink in). Lovely atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgable staff, great spot for some casual drinks and bites!

All of the wines are excellent value and there is a really interesting range of European focused wines to choose from(mainly French and Italian). They also have a really good lineup of local beers. The staff know everything on the shelves and will guide you in the right direction depending on what you like and budget. They also have wines by the glass that rotate regularly and are around the £4-6 mark. They are now doing a simple but really well-executed menu of food: mainly focused on charcuterie, cheese and different flavoured bruschettas. So similar to what the other wine bars are doing around London but a little bit better. Their burrata is large but disappears very quickly from the table... All of their cured meats are delicious too. If you need to get out of the house in the morning it's a great place to read a book/newspaper and enjoy a beautiful Italian roast coffee and some sourdough toast. You can also buy this bread to takeaway.

There is the most excellent range of South Aussie wines including Tommy Ruff, Hewiston and d'Arenberg. All recommended. And there is wine from everywhere else too and even some orange wine.

Snacks include scotched eggs, cured meats, olives, the above mentioned tortilla, corn, pate, anchovies and all the things perfect to pick at with great wine. Vegos very much considered. Oh yeah and cheese. Obviously. There's a couple of outdoor spots to people watch and a number of four ish seaters inside. The bar is particularly good to sit at.
