No.5 at Belair House is the ground floor brunch and brasserie restaurant within Belair House at 5 Gallery Road in West Dulwich. The Georgian manor overlooks Belair Park and pairs an elegant historic interior with terraces on either side, creating a setting that feels removed from the pace of central London.
The restaurant changes its emphasis through the day, serving brunch and lighter lunches before moving into a more formal evening brasserie service. Coffee is also part of the offer, so the house can accommodate a short daytime visit as well as a full dinner or celebration meal.
Sunday is centred on a traditional roast service, while afternoon tea is available by advance order during the week. Separate brunch, evening, roast and children’s menus allow groups to choose a format that suits the occasion rather than relying on a single all day list.
Belair House also hosts weddings and private events on its upper floor, and the restaurant may occasionally close to the public when an event takes over the venue. Booking or calling ahead is therefore sensible, and guests with allergies should discuss the current menu with the team when reserving or ordering.
