The Chelsea deli that does what a good deli should — excellent ingredients, well-made food, no pretension. The right address for a quick lunch or a picnic on the way to the park.
Sloane Street Deli is the kind of shop-restaurant that every neighbourhood should have and Chelsea is fortunate to. The ingredients are sourced with the care that the postcode allows but the prices are not punitive. The sandwiches are good. The soups are better than they need to be. The coffee is correct. Go for a weekday lunch or to stock up on the way to Hyde Park.
Deli food done correctly — good sandwiches, seasonal salads, well-sourced charcuterie and cheese, daily soups, pastries that justify the visit.
A Sloane Street deli — warm, efficient, the right amount of space. The kind of room designed for quick, good lunches and take-away provisions.
THE DAILY SANDWICH · SEASONAL SALAD · SOUP IN WINTER
Sloane Street Deli is the Chelsea address for a quick, honest lunch or a picnic on the way somewhere. It is reliably good without asking for your full attention — exactly what a deli should be.
Book ahead — reservations are essential on weekends and for prime dinner times.
Aim for an earlier seating if you want a calmer room; later tables run louder and longer.
