After sadly moving out from my North London abode, my old housemate and I decided to meet up and have a good old chin wag over lunch.
This time my café sniffing nose lead us in the direction of SALT espresso, lunch and tea bar in Covent Garden (@Salt_WC2).
Found it!
I’m constantly on the search for London’s best independent coffee shops and Salt has been on my radar for a while now. Luckily I wasn’t disappointed!
A first glance at the café proposed a menu that covered the humble brownie to Moroccan Tagine.
Ooooh tastebud tantalising
Ooooh yum! Righto in we went. The bistro supported a charming modern/classic mash. The exposed brickwork and chalkboards lead into a warm mirrored seating area, cosy but not claustrophobic. We were served by a couple of happy chappies who were happy to bring anything we requested to our table
Oh deary me decision time….
Haha you can see me in my yellow raincoat (top left), looking a bit like a creepy stalker….
Sam and I opted for 2 paninis to share. One a traditional chicken, bacon and cheddar, the other a sweet tomato relish with creamy Bree like cheese (I can’t remember the name!) both were smashing! The bread was all rustic and crusty, and the plates were replaced with natural wooden boards. The relish was really interesting, I was quite a fan.
Ooops drooled on mine, I’ll have to have both 🙂
We definitely managed to find space after for a green tea brownie, which was a groovy unconventional twist on the sweet cakey classic. Had to be done 🙂
YES! Brownie time! I hope that’s not snot in there….
The only downside? A little on the pricey side, Sam and I paid ~£10 each for our lunch. It’s £2.50 for filter coffee, £6.70 eat in quiche, £5.70 for tagine. Not extortionate, but a taste bud tingling treat 🙂
Irrespective of this, breakfast, lunch, early dinner or yummy snack, Salt is a endearing teahouse and gets my vote.
London Love
