Where’s good in Brixton at the moment for a solo lunch on a Friday? I have a “to-try” list as long as my arm, including Kaosarn, Etta’s Seafood Kitchen, Effra Hall Tavern, and more — but many of them were added to the list quite a few years ago, so I’m looking for current recommendations (based on experience within, say, the past 6–12 months).
(For slightly complicated reasons, I’m not interested in anything in Pop Brixton, so suggestions there won’t be of use to me, but since they might be helpful to others I have no objection to such places being discussed in this thread. Also, although I do intend to go to Naughty Piglets at some point, and they do seem to be open for lunch on Fridays, I don’t know what time I’m getting to Brixton and I have a slightly tight schedule, so I can’t book and I’d prefer not to have to wait for a table.)
