France Food And Gloire

In London town hunting for a real hot pastrami sandwich. And I found it at Monty's Deli, rather hidden away in Southwark at 76 Druid Street. Monty's director, Owen Barratt, knows the New York food scene, The food is good New York Jewish, although not kosher. The pastrami sandwich, heaped high with meat, coleslaw and slices of pickle, was delicious and brought back memories of the Second Avenue Deli. I had the small sandwich - who can eat the large? Apparently pastrami is American and salt beef, which Monty's also serves, is European. Everything is made and cooked on the premises -latkes, chicken liver spread on rye bread, and other yummy memories. Monty's is a large space; tables are to be shared. Not to be missed. And almost next door a bread bakery opens its doors to the public on the weekends.
