City, Sandwiches, Cakes, Etc Restaurant Guide

“A great choice for a quick catch-up in the City” – this NYC-style Jewish deli operation vies with Cecconi’s within The Ned’s humongous food court as its most popular destination, and grabbing a dog, Reuben or burger here is also popular for a casual business meal (although conditions can be “extremely noisy”). Some of the dishes can be “ordinary” – its best feature is actually breakfast: “good coffee” (with unlimited refills) and lots of yummy options (“the Challah French toast is fantastic!”)

2019 Review: At the foot of a new aparthotel near Aldgate East tube, this year-old venture comprises a coffee shop and terrace downstairs, and a restaurant and bar upstairs, which – under seasoned chef George Tannock – tries harder than you might expect in this location: “a welcome, local, go-to business lunch place, with an excellent and varied menu and staff who are efficient but welcoming”.

Its first forever-home is in the City, a short walk from Mansion House tube.
