"The Epitome of Consistency" Papadeli gets great review!

Restaurant critic and food journalist, Mark Taylor visited the cafe recently and was really enthusiastic about papadeli
"I haven’t had a sub-standard meal there in that time and this sort of consistency is a rare thing indeed."  He complimented us on our lovely menu, including the mouthwatering dishes we have at breakfast/brunch including pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, Spanish brekkie (poached eggs, mushrooms, baked chorizo, tomatoes on toast etc.
He goes on....

"I could have put a pin in the menu and come up trumps but I plumped for a starter of English asparagus with Serrano ham, rocket, watercress, balsamic and olive oil dressing (£6).
And what a fantastic dish it was. The asparagus had been cooked gently to retain a crunch and were mixed with the peppery rocket and watercress, generous slices of salty, chewy Serrano ham, pieces of creamy Cerney Pyramid goat’s cheese from the Cotswolds and a faultless dressing which was a sweet as it was fruity."

"This was followed by a salad of seared teriyaki beef (£9) – a beautifully presented plate of shredded white cabbage, crunchy lettuce, spring onions, red chillies, ribbons of carrot, toasted peanuts, coriander and a gingery, garlicky dressing, all topped with half a dozen slices of tender, rosy red beef with a Japanese twist.
From a dessert list that included baked vanilla cheesecake with a thin layer of vodka-soaked raisins (£3.95) and pear and dark chocolate croissant cake (£3.95), I backtracked and ordered a dish from the brunch menu.  Deceptively simple, a plate of cool and milky ricotta cheese was topped with quartered, fleshy strawberries with an indecent amount of flavour, a few chewy caramelised almonds, mint leaves and a dribble of sticky aged balsamic vinegar.
What a fantastic celebration of summer and worth every penny of its £6.95 price tag.
This was a meal of assured cooking from a kitchen completely in tune with the seasons and well-schooled in impeccable sourcing of ingredients, both locally and from Italy and Spain.
And with most of the ingredients available in the delicatessen below, Papadeli is a one-stop shop for food lovers. If I were you, I’d make a day of it. Go for breakfast, have a morning coffee reading the papers, order lunch and then go shopping downstairs.
If you love your food, I can think of no better way to spend a day off."

We are extremely proud and pleased to have such a wonderful review and recognise what an important part our staff have in all this - we are so lucky to have such a great team and thank them all!!

papadeli picnics

I know, I know, it's freezing and we're nearly half way through May, but the weather WILL soon get warmer and then we can all go on some lovely picnics.  And then Papadeli comes into its own - all our lovely delicatessen and takeaway food counter is perfect for a picnic.  Fresh marinated olives, creamy cheese stuffed chillies, tartlets made here, wedges of delicious tortilla, a slice of divine salmon en croute - you just have to visit and take a look!

What about a salad box - I had one the other day, just to remind myself how stunning they are - every mouthful was so full of flavour, I just can't describe it here.  Beetroot, hazelnut, red onion and feta, Moroccan spicy chickpeas, salade nicoise, new potatoe and chorizo, broad bean, mint and goat's cheese. I could go on and on.

It really reminded me how lovely salad can be!!
Then you can move on to some of the mouthwatering cakes - I had a raspberry and rhubarb tartlet his morning which I devoured with such enthusiasm and speed that it was all over far to soon. You could also have a slice of fabulous chocolate mousse cake or some pear upside down cake.  Or go for a famous papadeli brownie which you will want to go on for ever.

If you're planning a picnic, either come in and point out what you'd like, or you can order in advance - here are our picnic options to help you out a bit.
