This is a fantastic little place that is run by a small team. The atmosphere is very chilled and its a good opportunity to pick up some local deli products too along with some wine. The service is relaxed and quick.
The food we had was exceptional. All the food was fresh, light and fantastically tasty whilst each plate was priced reasonably.
Having the open kitchen visible from the dining room is also a really nice touch.
As a small local restaurant serving brilliant European food, I cannot recommend it enough. We’ll be back again very soon!
I’ve been to Didi and Franc maybe 5 or so times now (only mildly obsessed I promise) and I have been blown away every time. The pasta dishes are so delicious and the portion sizes are perfect. The small menu changes every so often, and I love that because it means I get to try something new. The vibes are immaculate - think gentle music, quiet haven from the busyness of the road outside. The service is exceptional. Every time I visit, I feel like I’m being hosted by Didi in her home - she is very attentive and is so accommodating. I love that I can have a little wander about the shop before I leave after my meal and see what’s new to the array of independent produce on offer. Also before I forget, always leave room for dessert! The dessert menu is gorgeous. If you can, I would recommend to get the bread starter to share between two as it’s very decent! I love that the bread that comes out changes depending on what they have. As long as we live in Kennington, this is my go to dinner spot - thanks for always providing a great experience!
Didi & Franc is absolutely worth a visit! Everything we ate was incredibly tasty and both food and drinks, we felt, were great value for money (especially for London!). Total cost for three courses each, glass of champers, two glasses of wine and service charge = £119.
The service was spot on and it was just a really lovely dining experience. If I lived in London, I would definitely become one of my date night go to places. The owners/chef should be very proud of the space they’ve created and the menu they’ve curated, it’s a stand out place! ✨

Lovely food - pasta was cooked perfectly and enough space for a lovely dessert after. Helpful wine recommendations, they clearly know their menu well. Nice quiet atmosphere so perfect for a date night / catchup. We had a main, dessert and glass of wine each for about £31 each - excellent value and we’ll definitely be back!
This was our second visit, and it was just as delicious and pleasant as the first. The menu has completely changed, but had a good variety of first courses and main pasta dishes in both visits, plus a fantastic dessert that tied the whole meal together. The dishes are all perfectly sized, so you can enjoy everything to the last bite and not feel like you're about to explode. I understand they switch the menu up every once in a while, and I would definitely come back to try anything the chef had to offer.
