139 Fika is an independent neighbourhood restaurant at 139 Bellenden Road in Peckham. Its menus bring Caribbean and African flavours together with contemporary British cooking, creating a distinctive identity across brunch, dinner and drinks.
Brunch moves beyond familiar egg dishes with ingredients such as ackee, saltfish, plantain, merguez sausage and hard dough bread. There are also lighter plates and vegetarian choices, giving the daytime menu enough range for both a full meal and a relaxed coffee visit.
The evening menu is served from Thursday to Saturday and continues the restaurant’s cross cultural approach. Bold spices, seasonal produce, seafood and comforting sides allow traditional influences to appear in thoughtful contemporary combinations.
Square Mile coffee, Good & Proper tea and pastries support the café side of the business, while cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks suit later visits. With a small, welcoming dining room and a pre-theatre set menu, 139 Fika works particularly well for brunches, intimate dinners and local gatherings.
