The photo doesn’t extol the virtues of the vibrant fresh buffet inside.
There are not many places where the salads and the vegetables are as important as the meat. Why I was happy to come across L’Express coffee just off Regent St, London. Which incidentally is not a coffee shop. We had been rushing around shopping, and didn’t have time for a whole sit down experience.
It is the kind of on a budget place for the workers, a buffet style home cooked canteen, where the prices are linked to the size of container you choose to fill.
I picked the big bowl for salads only; there were a lot of options for anyone plant based or vegan, three different slaws, red cabbage, olives, pasta, a mixed bean salad along with potatoes, shredded carrots, a chilli and leaves salad, chickpeas, radishes, hummus and all super fresh and vibrant.
The bowl was pretty big and there was a lot to pick from. The only one I didn’t try was beetroot and grapefruit, or maybe pineapple, not a big beetroot fan but I had a little of everything else and it was delicious.
They even had three or four homemade dressings to choose from, ranch, Caesar, blue cheese and French.
I really lovely healthy inexpensive lunch option on the go in Central London.
