   My foodie wife and I tried 139 Fika for the first time last Saturday night. Starters: Beetroot starter was the star of the show. Mains - having asked for the steak 'rare' it was more medium and the Oxtail dish was Ok and tasty but the cassava dumplings quite hard. Wine was pretty good and the service friendly and efficient. Overall I'd say the food was pretty good and well presented, if not spectacular. 2 things which slightly let the evening down for us a) it was probably about 30% overpriced for similar quality restaurants in Peckham, so we were left feeling we didn't really get value for our money and b) it was a cold evening and no barrier between the door regularly opening and people coming in, so lots of cold draughts!

   Beautifully presented food and a really interesting menu. Delicious flavours. I'm quite new to Caribbean cuisine but love it and couldn't recommend more! The service was great too.

   I enjoyed my visit to Fika and the food was interesting and very tasty, however the prices are way too high for a local restaurant. £25 for a main is what you would expect to pay in a good quality central London restaurant. My partners main was a tiny vegetarian tartlet and that was £21, and you needed to order sides on top as the portions aren’t that big. All in all, I think to pay over £100 for two people (not including service) when you’ve only had a starter and main and a side of rice, two beers, one glass of wine and a cocktail is way too much. I understand it’s tough for restaurants to survive, but this is not good value for the customer.

   We were made to feel very welcomed as soon as we entered. Our waiting staff (Rae) was attentive, friendly and efficient. Chef Richard is a truly talented person who knows his craft and knows how to be very creative with it. Also, he is a humble person and very, very funny! Mr owner, keep up the good work your efforts will be rewarded. I could only give 5 starts as there weren’t 10 stars!!!!!
