Blue Mountain Cafe, North Cross Rd, East Dulwich

Organic ingredients and some Jamaican items on the menu, such as jerk chicken and fried plantain.

Opted for The Full Monty - two bacon, scrambled egg, two sausage, tomato, mushroom, slice of brown toast with butter. The sausages were packed with meat and not much else and the bacon had a good colour and was, I suspect, air cured, there being no salty afterburn. Could have been eating gammon. Eggs beautifully done. Rather than stirring the mixture in a saucepan so that it came out lumpy, a flat pan of some sort was used, producing something more in the line of an omelette, velvety and delicate. Tomatoes softened on a griddle and served with a twist of black pepper. Mushrooms sauteed - nothing special. The meal comes with a coffee of your choosing, in my case a black Americano. This was on the high side of average, perfectly acceptable.

It is a very informal place where you can sit around all day jawing and where no one will bother you. Good street scene with much mooching to do and terribly fashionable Lordship Lane is at the other end of the road. Cafe gets busy at the weekends but there is an upstairs. Boho decoration with lots of leaflets for art classes and pilates. A cheering cliche but enjoyable over all. Maybe they should warm the plates. Two Full Montys with coffee and one glass of orange juice, the sort with bits in, £16.

Cappuccino count: 8/10
