Cattleya

Cattleya at 52 Charlton Church Lane, Charlton serves Filipino cuisine from the Charlton Church Lane in SE7. Cattleya — named for the magnificent Cattleya orchid, one of the most beautiful flowers in the orchid family and a flower associated with beauty and love in Filipino culture — brings the rich culinary traditions of the Philippines to the Charlton community. Filipino cuisine — adobo (braised meats in vinegar and soy), sinigang (sour tamarind soup), lechon (roast pig) and kare-kare (oxtail in peanut sauce) — is one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive and underappreciated food cultures. Charlton Church Lane SE7 7AB is close to Charlton station on the Southeastern rail line.

Filipino restaurants are rare in South East London, making Cattleya a genuinely distinctive dining option for the Charlton community and food explorers from across London.
