Most tourists wouldn’t walk down this shabby stretch of Trafalgar Road. But press on, for this tiny deli-cafe – it seats just four – is a real find. It is run by Joris Barbaray, a French chef of exacting standards. Open from breakfast, he turns out fine sandwiches, several plats du jour to eat in or take away (for instance, beef bourguignon or merguez sausage and lentils), beautiful quiches, salads and some extraordinarily good-looking fruit tarts. The way that Barbaray carefully portions out and further dresses the three salads – chickpeas in harissa, beetroot and herb. couscous and tomato – that accompany my salmon and dill tart (4.60), speaks of a man doing his job with real pride and purpose.That shines through in his food. This is restaurant-quality eating at lunch-break prices: simple, elegant food which, in the finest traditions of French cooking, uses a minimum of excellent ingredients to produce food that sings with its natural, integral flavours. More power to his elbow!
