A charming Clerkenwell corner deli famous for its viral, two-handed chicken schnitzel focaccia sandwiches.
Ordering Strategy
This is primarily a lunch spot. The sandwiches are messy and massive, so consider splitting one if you aren't starving.
What to order
Johnny Schnitzel Special
Dubbed on Instagram as the 'most papped Schnitzel' in the capital, this 'absolute banger' features two succulent slabs of fried chicken and homemade mooli coleslaw on soft herby focaccia.
Johnny Schnitzel Special
A 'whopper of a sandwich' and a 'real two-hander' that 'borders on burger territory.' Reviewers note it is filling enough to split with a friend or save half for later.
Focaccia
The bread is described as 'a beauty in its own right'—a spongey, soft 'moon of focaccia' featuring a delicious herby crust and 'little jewels of olive slices' that provide a tangy kick.
