Tartine

Sabrina's Passions ( 30s, Female, London )

Although service can be a tad slow occasionally, Tartine is hands down one of my favourite lunch spots in town. ‘Tartines’ are traditionally open faced sandwiches made using French Poilane (Sourdough) bread. There are plenty of interesting variations to choose from including Jamon Serrano with Manchego cheese and Membrillo, Rare roast beef and horseradish, Crab salad and my absolute favourite seared squid with sweet chilli. If sandwiches aren't your thing, they do a great burger, some salads and a few other dishes to accommodate you. It's location in the very chic ‘Brompton Cross’ hub means the patrons are a mix of ladies-that-lunch and rich kids and fur-clad Russianistas… but at a bowl of fries to the sandwich and I'm happy as Larry. Very good little stop-off and I only wish there were more of them around town!
