The Grocer at 91

"Deli-cious" 

This Easter weekend, my friends and I caught up over lunch in Old Amersham - returning to our country girl roots! Although this blog is described as "a foodie's guide to London's hottest restaurants," I simply had to write about The Grocer at 91.  If any of you Londoners are brave enough to venture outside of the M25, you must visit this delightful gem of a place. 

The Grocer at 91 is a lovely little deli serving up freshly prepared sandwiches and boards. They also offer a selection of perfectly blended coffee, and cakes that are prepared by talented local bakers.

We felt spoilt for choice whilst perusing the menu and eventually settled on the Grocer's choice entitled "The 91 Sandwich." This scrumptious sandwich contains fillet of beef, chilli pecorino, truffle salami, balsamic onion jam, plum tomato and Russian dressing. 

We also chose another similar option, a roast fillet of beef sandwich with vine tomato, white onion and dijon mustard mayonnaise. 

The portions were extremely generous and the beef was tender, succulent and chilled. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to consume the monstrous portion and the waiters were kind enough to put the remains into a "doggy bag" for me to take home!

The Grocer at 91 creates an informal rustic atmosphere with its old refectory table, blackboards, fresh produce and authentic Italian deli products. There is exceptional attention to detail and a focus on good quality ingredients and it all comes together as one of my new favourite lunch spots back home. 

Oh, and I just loved this...
