| - This storefront "pret-a-manger" caterer offers fully cooked take-out, as well as "pret-a-cuisiner" meals that are pre-prepared ingredients that you cook yourself at home. Ostensibly for the purpose of fooling your dinner guests into believing you can cook! They also do event catering.
The day I popped by was to pick up dinner for my parents who wanted something that was a step above standard delivery food, but really did not want to do the cooking. Over all, what I was offered fit the bill, but I found the selections very limited. If you where not in the mood for the couple (meat based) dishes of the day, or the few side dishes, well, you where out of luck.
I also found it pricy for what I got. There was no "meal" pricing. The portions seemed relatively small and each item (main, side, desert, etc...) had to be purchased separately, and boy did it add up! For the price I paid for a small dinner for two, I really feel that could have spent a few dollars more and went to a nice restaurant and had table service thrown in for the price.
All in all, not a bad little place and it probably serves the demographic of the Golden Square Mile very well. It would be nice if they could add a little more variety, especially in the veg. department and perhaps stock more gourmet sundries on their retail shelves, using their storefront to the best benefit.
