Folde

You're walking up St John's Hill in Battersea, past the usual suspects, when you spot somewhere that actually feels different. Folde is doing proper vegetable-forward cooking without the preachy vibes—think roasted cauliflower that tastes like itself, clever grain dishes, and the kind of wine list that takes this seriously. It's got that neighbourhood restaurant feel where they clearly know what they're doing but won't make you feel bad for being hungry and wanting proper food. The place has quietly built a loyal following for a reason: consistency, generosity, and actual flavour.
