Market Row in Brixton was the lunchtime place to be for a while. This was down to Franco Manca, which got rave reviews from basically everyone. It even made it into newspapers that only use the words South London if they sit next to 'postcode wars'. Then came Rosie's (of the Spooning with Rosie cookbook) and Wild Caper. What makes it nice is that it sits next to the South American butchers and West Indian and African grocers that made the place interesting for a lot of foodies anyway. Now it's Brixton Village's turn. This is a very similar covered market that sits just opposite Market Row. A series of rebuilds and an influx of new restaurants, cafes and delis again sit next to places that have been there for years. I want to take longer to explore it, but to kick it off I thought I'd talk about a small pasta place in there called Bellantoni's.
