Flyt
Build your own burger at this friendly restaurant and bar, picking the size of your meat, fish or veggie filling and selecting its extras and trimmings. With an outdoor activities theme, its beer’s ice-cold and the music’s heavy metal and rock. The intimate upstairs cocktail bar fills to capacity after midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Stuffed Olive
This exquisite bakery and deli has a fine coffee bar and stools along a narrow counter in the sunny front window. Luscious baked goods are displayed like, well, a bunch of tarts. Find your picnic lunch here and nab one of the excellent bottles of wine.

Papadeli
Everything from goat's-cheese tart and Serrano ham to damson jam and poppy-seed cake is stocked at this gorgeous deli, where the shelves are filled with more cheeses and charcuterie than a Provençal street market.

Lena’s Bio
There are only a few seats inside, but this is a great place for wholesome organic food, snacks and salads, as well as a range of fresh produce and deli items to take away.

A deep-pocketed gourmet, famous for its coffee but has so much more, including cheeses, ham, truffles, wine, caviar and exotic foods from every corner of the earth.

Hotel Havana
International deli with everything from French cheese to Belgian chocolates. The chorizo and manchego sandwiches (Nkr55) are an especially good bet.

Syltetøysbutikken
Valldal is a place that people tend to pass through, having driven over the famous Trollstigen pass from Åndalsnes or savoured the exquisitely beautiful ferry journey from Geiranger. Perched in a nick of Norddalsfjord, its agricultural surrounds lay claim to being Europe’s northernmost orchards. Here apples, pears and even cherries thrive – and you’ll also find strawberries in profusion, commemorated in an annual Strawberry Festival, usually on the last weekend in July. To sample the goods, whatever the season, call by Syltetøysbutikken, on the road leading to the church. It has a healthy selection of jams and juices, pressed and simmered in the small factory b…

Franchi
- Rome, Italy
- Restaurants › Deli
Franchi is a longstanding foodie landmark, and great for a swift lunch or snack, or to stock up on stuff to take home. Assistants in white jackets work with a dexterity that only comes with years of practice, slicing hams, cutting cheese, weighing olives and preparing panini. There’s also wine, vegetables conserved in oil, and truffles. Ready-made dishes include poached salmon, baked melanzaneparmigiana or zucchini a la Barese (Bari-style courgette), to take away or eat at stand-up tables. Locals swear by its fried dishes, such as supplì.

L.U.I.S.E.
A chic little deli that’s a gourmand’s playpen, L.U.I.S.E. peddles everything from plump local cheeses to homemade foodstuffs and bottles of luscious wine. In the back room, lunching nine-to-fivers tuck into warming osso bucco, nourishing risottos and homemade gnocchi. Busy travellers can take away, with freshly fried pizza fritta, crisp arancini and sugar-dusted pasticcini crema amarena (pastries filled with cherry cream).

Boutique Censier
Pocket-sized and scarcely big enough to swing a shopping basket – but who cares when the food is so delicious? The self-catering arm of Mavrommátis, this traiteur (delicatessen-caterer) is the pit-stop for a discerning lunchtime crowd who don’t have hours to dine but still want to dine well. Most takeaway dishes are just like those served in its big-brother restaurant.

Correa's in Barrikadnaya
This New York-style deli has become a Moscow institution in just a few years of existence, often known among the expat community as Isaac's, the name of its American chef. The sandwiches are wonderful, and the fresh supplies unrivalled. There's also a great and extremely popular breakfast menu (book on weekends) and a delivery service available. This is the original branch; there's another on ul Bolshaya Ordynka.

Zeb
Part gourmet deli and part sophisticated lunch counter, Zeb is among the very best new options in town. Besides sophisticated salads and contorni (sautéed vegetables), the brilliant Giuseppina and family invent a daily panoply of roasted meats, cheesy quiches, local favourites like simmered cow stomach, and the remarkable cappellaci (giant ravioli) stuffed with pear and pecorino. Brava!

Namli
As well as being one of the best delicatessens in the city (check out that cheese selection!), Namlı also stocks hard-to-find Asian ingredients, imported tea and other treats. Take away your choice from the impressive salad and meze selection, or grab one of the tables at the front and eat in. There’s another branch in Harıcılar Caddesi next to the Spice Market.

Driv
This student-run converted warehouse serves meaty burgers, great salads (Nkr95), focaccias with a variety of fillings (Nkr85) and a vegetarian pasta (Nkr95). It organises musical and cultural events (notably the self-styled Fucking North Pole Festival) and sometimes has a disco. In winter you can steep yourself in good company within its open-air hot tub.

Sheridans Cheesemongers
Sheridans Cheesemongers is redolent of the superb local and international cheeses and other deli items within, many with a Med bent. Its real secret, however, is up a narrow flight of stairs. Sample from a huge wine list in an airy and woodsy room while enjoying many of the best items from below (open 2pm to 10pm Tuesday to Friday, noon to 8pm Saturday).

La Cereria
A cross between the cafe of a century gone by and a hippy hang-out, this culinary cooperative offers tasty vegetarian (mainly organic) pizzas, salads, crepes, bocadillos and great desserts, plus beer, all at low prices. A fruit shake and muesli might be just what your body needs after too many nights of botifarra and vino de mesa.

Pork, Cheese & Pie Shop
This deli sells a wide range of quality Scottish produce, but the main event as far as we’re concerned is the great selection of delicious gourmet pies (to take away) – choose from lamb and rosemary, game and blackberry or Cumberland sausage and tomato (and many others), and munch contentedly on a park bench beside the river.

Pumpernickel
Continental-style toasties and other delicious snacks are dished out at this deli-café. Dine indoors among the cheeses, meats and preserves or at outdoor tables on the pedestrianised street. It’s a good spot for a glass of wine in the afternoon, too. If the weather’s right, go for a gelato (£6).

La Maison du Caviar
Going strong since 1950, the House of Caviar is that - and more. Savour blini with 30 mouth-melting grams of Iranian caviar (around €80) followed by pan-fried beef and caviar (ĕr48) or homemade gnocchi in a chive and cream sauce and 20g of the black roe (€60).

Sal Meijer
This kosher delicatessen has little to no atmosphere, but how can you argue with a refrigerator case lined with pretty scoops of salmon, potato and egg salads? Order the heaping corned beef sandwich - get it warm, you'll thank us. We love the zingy ginger cake for dessert.

Ariola
The head-turning smells wafting from its doorway, and crowds milling inside, speak of only one thing: Ariola is an outstanding little Italian deli. Its broodjes (filled bread rolls) are made to order and only topped by the home-made pastas and lasagne.

Penny Lane
A heavenly little delicatessen offering its own freshly baked bread, local cheeses and cured meats for fine picnicking, plus there’s an in-house café offering a standout brunch platter (99kr) or snack-worthy sandwiches, quiche, cake and tarts.

L'Arturo Enogastronomia
At the entrance to the sassi, this small deli, built from recycled materials, is a cool hang-out for students from the nearby Conservatorium of Music. A rustic wooden table fills the tiny back room; a great place to crowd around a bottle of wine.

Popty r Dref Deli
A fantastic deli for take-away sandwiches and one of the few left with the original bakery out the back. Support it to keep a rare example of local industry alive. The house speciality is the honey bun - be quick, they're usually sold out by 11:00.

Brasserie Lipp
You're spoilt for choice along Kunsportsavenyn, although prices can be higher than in other parts of town. This classic, classy eatery has good light meals on its menu, including Caesar salad and a club sandwich, plus more substantial main courses.
