My husband and I started eating at Simplicity when it first opened, determined to support a new local business. As it turned out this is no hardship - we were so impressed with the food that we have continued to make regular visits. They have always been very accommodating of our young baby and the standard of the dishes and service remains very high. We're very lucky to have a restaurant of this standard in Rotherhithe.

Lived in the area for years and can't say how fantastic it is to have this restaurant locally. Brilliant choice of local ingredients, excellent cooking and impeccable service. The atmosphere is great - chilled and totally unstuffy. Can't recommend it too highly.

A senusla dn all round yumy experince! This is a real gem. Delicious honest food, fresh local seasonal ingrediants, excellent service, a clean stylish space and value for money. A small focused menu with no hint of pretentiousness. My partner & I enjoyed the evening dining experience tonight and were very impressed. The seabream with pesto sauce on the side was gorgeous. The wine list good, at great prices. I would have expected top pay 3 times as much for the same quality anywhere else. Laurance, the chef and owner, was charming & welcoming. We will be returning soon to try the Sunday brunch menu.

I live locally and have walked past on a couple of occasions and thought I would go in. My only regret is that I didn't go inside sooner! Had an excellent meal this evening, the sea bass. The service was excellent and the quiet background music added to the ambiance. Great meal. Save space for the dessert.

I've been a food critic for years and don't normally give any good reviews easily. My preference has always been local foods that taste great, and worthy of mention and recommendation, regardless of the dining experience or the deco of the restaurant. Simplicity has surprisingly top these criteria in all respects. The food has the zing of freshness that is all but lost in restaurants in London these days. It is very pleasant bordering relief to find Lawrence (the Chef) to be passionately focussed on delivering the best with the freshest, and this is proven with the dishes that I have eaten there. Chef Lawrence is a very heartwarming individual who cares enough to take the time to speak with his customers, many of whom I have observed to be very happy with the food. He handled conversations very well and carried himself well. If you are in the vicinity of SE16, do remember and consider this restaurant. The better restaurants are normally the quieter and smaller ones. And they are the ones that need our support and word of mouth to make them known. Go to thre restaurant yourself to try it - you will be delighted and you will wish to also say a few good things about Simplicity in online reviews.

Simply a nice place to eat and "chill out". Very pleasant staff and great food. And when its time to go - no "bill shock"

I have had dinner and breakfast at Simplicity and both meals were sumptously divine. The restaurant is very clean and comfy. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Chef Lawrence is quite the talented food artist! 'Simplicity', simply put is simply the best! Kandoucie review this place now
