    Great vegan restaurant - creative plates showcasing delicious vegetables and seasonal produce. The vibe is really nice and the service is friendly. Nice cocktails and eome selection. Set menu costs £30 per head which is really good value. Plenty of food!

    Stunning seasonal ingredients showcased in thoughtfully created dishes, lovingly served by the team. All the dishes were so good that my favourites were actually the green split pea hummus (dressed with olive oil, sea salt and za'atar?) and the potato bread (delightfully spongy, with a hint of nutmeg?) Also the chocolate tart had the best texture (can't believe it's vegan). Also some of the most sophisticated cocktails we’ve had since Dandelyan. Warm, cosy vibe. We've been two times and can't wait for their next set menu.

    We went here to celebrate and initially I was skeptical given the quiet street and the rustic interiors, but the warmth and the quality of the food was impressive. The meal was exquisitely planned. The place only opens for dinner on three nights in the week because every aspect of the meal is planned by four partners whose passion project this is. After our reservations I received emails regarding allergies and any other specifications for the meal. When I arrived at the table, I understood why. The meal is set and barring a few starters, you cannot order much else, but I didn't need to either. The crispy cauliflower was the highlight for all of us on the table, but all the dishes were beautifully presented and very delicious. I would say that the bread, which is served unlimited, could have been different, but I never got to it, beyond just tasting a bite to know. Most of all, the cleanliness of the place was impressive from the well displayed open kitchen to the towel rolls in the bathroom, this was a very happily spent evening.

    Very nice vegan food, seasonal veggies with twists and new discoveries. The set menu (30£/pp) includes 4 dishes and bottomless sourdough bread, all served together like at home. The drinks, starters and desserts are optional on top. Very cute and calming atmosphere and very polite and friendly service.

    Really outstanding food in a lovely setting. Each dish was excellent, staff were all great and it's a delightful small space with a cool soundtrack. Great for a special occasion. £30 per head for the set menu (appetisers and desserts are extra).

    Naif’s is a great little restaurant down a residential street in Peckham. It was a very homely vibe that matches the family style set menu. The food was great, can see why it is so highly regarded, the taking away of a star was nothing to do with there being anything lacking, we’ve just been to a lot of top vegan restaurants lately and it’s hard not to avoid comparisons. Still well worth a visit!

    Amazing space and great food. Anne, her partner and his brothers are amazing hosts. Had the best veggie vegan meals here (Fried celeriac with smoked apple and mustard, Brassica and pear ceasar salad) and they served up my dinner in the best way. Easy to locate and I will definitely recommend Naifs if you are in London

    Unbelievably good meal, definitely recommend. We ordered everything on the menu bar one dessert, so they brought that one out for us on the house as well. Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful service. All Saints Pure Shores on loop in the loos. Perfect.

    I must admit I was sceptical about this place - the pricing made my eyes water especially when the food is pretty much all veg and you have a set menu. But man alive, I have been eating veggie/vegan for the best part of 10 years and I have not once ever had a culinary experience like this. The food was gifted by the gods, I tasted flavours I didn't even know veg could have. The mains, sides, sauces, dessert, drinks were all 10/10. and whilst I doubt you'll have the money for it on a whim, if you're planning a special night out and have even a passing interest in what vegan food can offer then I can't think of anywhere close to this

    We had an amazing meal at Naifs last night. The flavours of the food on the vegan set tasting menu were so rich and delicious. The staff were lovely and the cocktails were brilliant. Overall, incredible food, service, atmosphere and drinks - Naifs is a real gem! We can't recommend it highly enough.

    I absolutely loved it! from Sarah the host that helped me via email to go through allergens to the lovely setting and amazing salad and gluten free bread. Naifs is a truly little gem in Peckham and I'll definitely go every 8weeks to try every new menu!

    From the moment we stepped into Naifs we knew we were in for a magical experience. Such a warm, friendly welcome. A very home-from-home experience. Lovely origami hanging beautifully and soft lighting with a mellow 80s soundtrack meant we felt very relaxed. We have eaten at a range of vegetarian/vegan restaurants and consider ourselves foodies. The best things about this restaurant are the lack of pretentiousness and the generous portion sizes with their 'bottomless bread'. We were there to celebrate my 40th birthday and they were so kind in marking this and making me feel special. We loved the peaceful setting too! A big thank you to everyone and we wish you all the best :)

    I need to be very real with you because I’m shocked it has a 4.9… The place and service was lovely so would give if 5 for that alone! The food really disappointed me. There was a serious lack of flavour and taste. Some dishes really didn’t go well or seemed whacked together. For the price of £30 per person it was not worth it at all. It did fill you up but I don’t think I’d return due to the food being a miss. Really hoped for more but I would say 2.5 star

    Enjoyed a fantastic meal at Naïfs last night. The space and atmosphere are lovely and relaxed, as is the service. Drinks menu is tight whilst still offering a great range of well-chosen beers, ciders, cocktails, mocktails and wine. From the short list of appetizers, we had the lentil pate, fig jam & pickles served with glorious TOAD bakery bread, as well as the gordal olives. Both delicious. The set menu was incredible, with too many highlights to list (but roasted squash, pickled apple and flamingo peas was a personal favourite). Go here - it's very, very good indeed.

    Do not let the exterior fool you. This restaurant oozes with creativity, flavor, and charm. 10/10 experience. The service was excellent, food was fresh and quick. I got the tasting menu to get a feel for the food and I certainly was not disappointed.

  • 5/5 Emily G. 7 months ago on Google
    Wow what a special restaurant and hidden gem in the South. The food is so fresh, unique and tasty. The staff are also so welcoming and you feel like you are eating in the comfort of your own home with friends. They have really thought about the drinks to compliment the flavours, and unlimited bread is a win win for me always! My friend had a great birthday meal thank you x

    Best dining experience I've had in London. So much care out into every aspect, the staff are knowledgeable and have great taste and make great recommendations, the ambience is high end yet welcoming, the menu changes seasonally and is always fantastic and the drinks are well curated and delicious. The fact it is all vegan is simply a bonus. Love it.

    I just popped in here because I was waiting for an event nearby - I wasn’t expecting some of the most delicious food I’ve had in London! Amazing bread with lentil dip and pickles. Perfectly balanced flavours. And the service was impeccable - I felt so welcome and appreciated. I will definitely return for a larger meal soon.

  • 5/5 Alex W. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing set meal. Definitely go for the fried tomatoes appetiser. Very friendly staff and a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The perfect meal.

    We had a brilliant evening at Naifs last night! The setting and ambience was perfect and we received a great welcome from all the team there. We started off with some slightly different but delicious cocktails whilst eating a couple of appetisers (go for the lentil pate, it's divine!). What followed was a brilliant and well thought out set menu, compromising of hot and cold dishes. All the food was so full in flavour and really well balanced, and the portion sizes were great too. It's a plant-based menu using some adventurous ingredients and techniques. We had a great evening and would thoroughly recommend Naifs to anyone.

    Tonight, my friend invited me to this Family-run Vegan restaurant. I was first fascinated by their unique entrance(It is not the usual style of restaurant in London). Then, directly opposite the entrance is the kitchen (2 chefs at work) not the FOH area, they will ring the bell to call fellows to greet the guests. I was ushered into the dining space, which was a split-level layout. The space gave me a sense of scene: I felt like I slipped into the kitchen through the back door of a friend's house and then came to the dining room, I didn't have to think about anything, they had everything thought out for me (only set menu here, it is changed monthly). I just had to choose the host's selection of drinks, appetizers and desserts. Various origami are hung in the hollow, no other superfluous decoration. Everything is so cozy, natural and relaxing here. 2 regulars sat next to us, warmly introduced us to the dishes and shared with us their dining experience and love for the restaurant. See, this is how an animated restaurant effortlessly arouses the desire of their guests to share and spread! Here, I feel a genuine pattern of cooperation with the surroundings, with the seasons, with the community, with the creatures, rather than an anthropocentric predator-like attitude. There are no expensive ingredients from distant land, but there are food wisdom from different places. The different sauces are full of surprises with the dense and silky mouthfeel. Even if it's so yummy that I can't stop, I won't feel tired/greasy. The final SUNDAE is intriguing and clinking, and the collision of spoons and the crunch of filo bring a lot of fun.

    An overwhelmingly lovely experience. The food was high quality and seasonal. The staff went above and beyond to provide such a personal and thoughtful service. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and would definitely return at a later date. Faultless.

  • 5/5 Paul 2 years ago on Google
    Really lovely food. The menu is a set menu with the optional extra of dessert. This time around the set menu was £27, for that you get excellent food and you get enough tapas style dishes to leave you full. The restaurant is quite small, so booking is recommended. Whilst it is small, it is not crowded and noisy like some places can be.

  • 5/5 Paolo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding vegan dinner. The fixed menu always intrigues me and it was very well balanced, with quality ingredients and enough to fill me. The food was honestly out of the ordinary. Very good quality cocktails as well, friendly staff and cozy environment. A nice surprise!

    Tucked amongst some leafy residence in SE15 is the vegan restaurant Naifs. This is a place that’s equally loved by locals as well as foodies. The owners (he works in the kitchen and she runs the floor) creates vegan dishes that form into a set-menu that are seasonal, moorish and delicious. The service is warm, inviting and attentive and adds to the cosy venue.

  • 5/5 Pascale V. 2 years ago on Google
    Another delicious and inventive meal. The set menu is very filling so plan ahead. My favourite this evening was the perfectly dressed radicchio with leek babaganoush and olive crumb. Great new cocktail 🍸 too.

  • 5/5 Pietro B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and service. Fresh produce and seasonal menu. Set menu is generous and well rounded, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget about dessert 😋

  • 5/5 Pernilla 2 years ago on Google
    Really wonderful experience. the food, the service, the ambiance were all 5/5! the menu felt very balanced with some heavier dishes and plenty of lighter, zingy dishes. a few standouts for me were the lentil pate (divine!), the radicchio with avocado and dill, and the fried mushrooms with garlic mayo. Can't wait to return!

  • 5/5 Jane A. 3 years ago on Google
    This place was incredible. They were so kind, caring and professional in their service. The food was outstanding and plentiful. Oh and the desserts were outstanding. Will definitely be going back.

    Was so great to be back again. Wonderful flavour and colour combinations. Food as art. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Michele T. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible food, wonderful staff, beautiful and cosy atmosphere - naifs is a must-go and by far one of my favourite restaurants in London

  • 5/5 Joy Z. 2 years ago on Google
    No shadow of doubt this place deserve a 5 star! Every single dish on the set menu was delicious, you can tell someone put a lot of thought into it, the ingredients are super fresh too. Plus cosy environment and friendly service. I would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Laura K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely to be back in such a warm and welcoming restaurant. The seasonal menu never disappoints and the cocktails are always so interesting! We always feel so looked after at Naïfs and couldn’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a delicious vegan dining experience in south London.

  • 5/5 Rebecca I. 2 years ago on Google
    This beautiful little place reopened the day we went, and not only was the service incredible and super friendly, but the food was simply incredible. They treated us so well, and everything we had was amazing. Particularly fell in love with the tofu and the malt ice-cream! Such an amazing night.
