  • About

A good delicatessen is full of exotic flavours and smells, and the best of local and foreign produce. Smoked meats and sausages, pastas in myriad shapes and sizes, olives, cheese, salads, fresh breads and dried fish compete for space and will make your choice difficult but always a pleasure.

Shopping at a good delicatessen should be part of everyone’s weekend routine. There is nothing like the smells of sausage, smoked pork, hams, olives and dried fish to rid the nostrils of the stench of weekday toil.
