Cafe Mondo in Camberwell is winning hearts with its oversized sandwiches and unique menu, drawing crowds and rave reviews from food lovers across London.
These aren’t just any sandwiches; they’re huge submarine rolls stuffed with things like chicken tikka masala and fish fingers. Can you believe it? They even raised nearly £35,000 from fans to get this place up and running on Peckham Road.
The vibe inside is super casual, kind of like a chippy, with bright colors and a fun atmosphere. They’ve got a poster of the Michelin man on the wall, which is a cheeky nod since no Michelin inspector has probably ever set foot in Peckham.
During the day, it’s all about sandwiches and subs, but at night, they switch it up with a proper menu. Drinks are on a blackboard that keeps it simple, saying things like “we got wine.” And trust me, you can’t spend more than £35 on a bottle, but you’ll get a great Chardonnay for that.
The food is just fantastic. We tried a bit of everything, and honestly, it was all so good. The chicken thighs were crispy and juicy, and the patty melt is perfect comfort food. The place is small, seating only 30, so be prepared to wait, but it’s totally worth it. When the weather gets nicer, they’ll have a garden too. This place is so good, it deserves to be huge—like, mondo huge!
