My favourite restaurant of all time. Delfina is actually only open one evening a week (Friday) and weekday lunchtimes. It is worth the effort though.
The menu is put together by a chef who really understands flavours- combinations might read oddly on the page, but they taste wonderful.
There are always tons of dishes that we want to try and they are always really different. It's a good place to come to be inspired.
The wine list is not too shockingly priced either.
You can pop in for just a cup of coffee and a biscuit, but, frankly, I'm too greedy to stop at that!

It is on Bermondsey Street- very easy to walk to from London Bridge and opposite the Garrison pub
The brilliant chef Maria Elia has now left Delfina. Last visit (first week after she'd gone) was quite disappointing. Apparently she's opening a new place near Oxford Street in early 08. I'm waiting...Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
