Montes is an Italian deli off a little side street in Islington…read more This shop is slightly expensive (1.5O ciabatta rolls) but carries a good selection of olive oil, including the delicious highly coveted truffle variety. There are cheeses which are of a decent price (around 1.70 for 100g) and a large selection of homemade pesto type sauces, olives and tomatoes in oil. This store also had loads of crackers and it caters to the wine and cheese, cheese and wine contingent. ( Depends which way you see the importance; I just think of cheese and cheese, F@&!&k the wine.) There were also quite a few Italian speciality deserts and these weird multicoloured chocolates in a box. I could see this shop being a cool place to come for all your party food needs. I'll send my assistant to pick up some Pecorino, the dry cleaning and parrot food.

We were here with our 7 month old and they were so nice and accommodating. They provided hot water for his milk and get this - at one point we started hearing lullabies! We were the only ones in the place for a bit so I think they started playing lullabies for my son! Ahh so sweet. The staff was very nice and we felt right at home. Would love to come back and try some of their food.

I have been working on this street for 10 years and when this little restaurant / cafe opened a few…read moreyears ago it really brightened up the street. It's comparatively quiet, the staff are lovely, the food is homemade and delicious. If you want a haven from one of the busiest neighborhoods in the world, Chez Mamie is the place to find it.

Mirabel is my go-to place for a bite to eat when I am helping out at exhibitions at Olympia. It is…read moreabout a million times better than grabbing a rubbish, dry sarnie from one of the overpriced vendors within the exhibition centre. I've had take-away sandwiches from Mirabell (they are always delicious, if a little greasy) and the lads behind the counter are always friendly and funny. Last time I visited I decided to eat in the café side, I ordered one of the day's specials, trout with roasted potatoes and plenty of veggies. The fish and roasties were nice, although the boiled veggies were a bit bland. It was all pleasant, if a bit overpriced for £10 (so almost £15 once I added tea and service charge.) They still get 4 stars because it is always nice to escape exhibitions and sit down/relax...so the slightly overpriced food was worth it.

This is a great Polish deli serving traditional English food as well (full English breakfast etc.)…read more And with Polish touch! You can get, e.g. slices of Polish traditional bread ("Chleb Staropolski") which always reminds me of home. The service is very nice and cares for the customers. Food is obviously very tasty and they claim to have the best BLT sandwiches in the whole London which is most likely very true, especially that you can choose to have it served on the traditional Polish bread mentioned before. The price is very affordable comparing to other places nearby. It's also a very pleasant place to stop for a coffee, as they have great selection of home-made cakes. Location is super convenient as it is just right next to the Kilburn station on the Jubilee line. I will go there often, as it is a perfect choice for breakfast or lunch.

They seem to also offer daily specials meals, last time I went it was a risotto. Their BLT for £3.50 is one of my favourites and is not only good value but tastes great. I would give this place one more star but the standard of my BLT varies too much depending on who makes it, I'm going to have ask them to grill mine for longer from now on! I haven't tried the coffee but it seems some people like to just sit there for a cake and a coffee.

This little shop is a cross between a cafe and deli - with proper deli counter and all the foods…read moreassociated - assorted cheeses, meats, olives and breads -Beside the dominant deli counter is various small metal tables and seats for eating. This place can be packed on the weekends with waitresses bringing "italien" sandwiches and cappuccinos to seated customers - doging between customers buying deli cuts and standing in a que. Not the most relaxing place to have a bite inside - in fact I would recommend, weather permitting to eat outside - at least you can stretch your legs and enjoy serious people watching without a person buying a slice of pastrami and blocking the view!

I recently discovered this little gem of a store on my regular bike rides around London. It was a…read morewarm and sunny day and I spotted some delicious ice cream sandwiches in their freezer. I tried their Spumoni ice cream sandwich and immediately fell in love with it! (Spumoni = cherry, chocolate and pistachio) Most recently I hosted an event for 75 people and I decided to treat everyone to an ice cream sandwich for dessert. I worked with Matt (the owner of Fink's) and he recommended we order two flavors: Spumoni (of course) and Salted Caramel with Caramel + Peanut. Guess how many sandwiches were left at the end of the night?

We doubled back after dropping our bags off for a quick lunch, and I really fell in love with the place. Hanging around the place is a bunch of hunks of cured meats, and all around are fresh cheeses and meats that look (and taste) delicious! My girlfriend got a cheddar and chutney sandwich that was pressed and warmed perfectly. It had such a nice balance of sharpness from the cheese, and a perfect sweetness of the chutney. Very tasty on a baguette. For myself I went with the Chorizo sandwich, which I think was paired with manchego. This was possibly the best sandwich of this kind that I've ever had. I think I died a few times, and was revived by the delicious pairing of the meat and cheese. The staff is super friendly and fun, and seems to have a fun time while working - making it a very light hearted and cute place to grab a quick meal. The coffee was pretty standard, but maybe that's not why you would come to this delicious deli! Check it out!

You'll see a wide range of unique gourmet goods which will instantly spruce up your kitchen. Recently I tried the Chili Jam, which is a perfect pairing for cheese plates or any other spread you fancy. Also, I was impressed by their fresh coffee, which is locally roasted in East London. I was only in London for one week, but I kept coming back in to try their different sandwiches and soups offered for lunch. I recommend this place to anyone who is in the area. Pop in for a quick snack, you are sure to be satisfied.

I previously wrote about the Holborn Deli as part of the larger Holborn dining room / bar / hotel…read moreetc. complex, but it's worth listing as its own, here. Open 8ish to 5ish, it's truly a great option if you're in the Holborn area around lunch. Several salads are always on the go, as is a table of baked goods that greet you right as you walk in (shout-out to the multiple types of brownies). The only real complaint is that the space is tight; charming, but kind of hectic at busy times. Remember: look up! They have quite a few goodies stacked high, and staff is more than accommodating in helping you get what you need (see: I walked in with arms full of bags and they offered to ladle and package my soup up for me, even though it is "self serve"). I love the savoury selections here, and I think they're reasonable for the quality. When the roasted tomato soup is on (as it is today): GET IT. A quiche of the day comes out 'round midday, and it is *ideal*; the eggy custardy bits are perfectly set but still soft, the seasoning is perfect, and the crust isn't the main star of the show (I know, controversial, but that's how I like my quiche!). Note the stuffed sandwiches, too, with cheeses and cured meats and ALL DELICIOUS THINGS (remember: Holborn does charcuterie, and does it well). Some other brand name but fancy things - like coconut milk yogurt. I wouldn't buy *those* here, but like that it's an option if I were really desperate. Yelp note: YAYERS. LOVE ME THEIR SOUP.
