Sylva

About Sylva

Sylva sits on the edge of Folkestone Gardens in Deptford, serving breakfast and lunch daily plus Thursday dinners that pull regulars from across south London. The open kitchen turns out fresh-baked buns — chocolate and cinnamon varieties have a devoted following, alongside brunch dishes like shakshuka and the much-praised chicken schnitzel sandwich. Thursday evenings bring sharing plates: arayes (toasted flatbread stuffed with minced beef), cherry salad, Moroccan fish, and squid ink tagliatelle. Reviewers describe the staff as super friendly and accommodating. The space works well for events, with plentiful highchairs and spotless baby changing facilities. The outdoor seating overlooks the park, handy after playground time next door. Table service keeps things relaxed, and the gluten-free selection is strong. Regulars come back for the schnitzel and those chocolate buns, grab them early before they vanish.
