Paulo'z Way - Portuguese Bakery on New Park Road/Brixton Hill

[LadyR]

Hahaha, oh dear I'll get all shy next time I'm in there!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's never occurred to me to eat a custard tart. But after reading this thread I just had schlep up the hill to bastard Streatham and investigate.

Why did you go to Streatham when Paulo'z Way is in Brixton?

 

[quimcunx]

Well exactly! It's not like you have to pass kanda's to get there!

Mmmmm. Just been taken there for a meal - we had the cod, and the steak sandwich done with "all the things". Cod was I'm told excellent - tomato based sauce with potatoes and what looked like other vegetables (this description doesn't do it justice: it was gorgeously presented) - the steak sandwich was exquisite, dripping with butter and with a subtle amount of onions and cheese, on bread I suspect was baked there. Cod from Norway, steak from Brazil I think he said.

Delicious wine, chosen for us - came in a beautiful decanter.

Custard tarts and perfect espressos to finish. Yum. Not to mention how entertaining the owner and his waiters are Oh, and they brought complimentary olives, fish paste and homemade bread to begin.

In answer to the bread query, they definitely do sell bread bakery-style at the back, and as far as I know it's baked there, as this is what they told me when I bought some yesterday.

How much was your meal?

 

[tim]

That custard tart is a tad small, isn't it?

 

[slcr]

How much was your meal?

High thirties (three people).

Given that their menu isn't yet printed up, it's difficult to guess what an average meal there will cost. If their steak sandwich is £4.50, it starts quite affordably, and then I imagine their restaurant dishes are pricier (such as the cod).

 

[quimcunx]

How late are they open then?

I might go there sometime in the next week.

Do they do breakfasts?

 

[slcr]

Yep - there's a sign saying £4.50 for a full english breakfast with tea or coffee and two slices of toast.

Am starting to feel like an advertisement. Might stop now!

Tell them you expect commission.

Hm, I might go there tomorrow morning then, save me getting the kitchen dirty before I go away for the weekend

FFS.

It is a lot smaller than the one in the picture above...

That's not a custard tart either, as well you know.

This is-

Clearly a different recipe.

 

[quimcunx]

I don't particularly like english custard tarts.

Portuguese ones are lush though.

Completely agree.

 

[quimcunx]

Then you should eat more of them and get fat.

I'm nervous of going in there now to buy anything, in case I run into half of Urban eating custard tarts.

I shall only be going in there for bread, although I may try breakfast out tomorrow.

Any idea what time they stop serving breakfast?

 

[twistedAM]

I'll skip it and let Minnie bring me a tart some day. Seriously though Brixton Hill is getting a bit foodie these days with Negril, Spoon, Galleria and now Paulo's (sic) Way

I won't be there for tomorrow's breakfast time so you should be safe then. I'll be going past it on the bus though not long after 8am.

Nothing wrong with some decent grub being available.

You do mean a custard tart don't you?

I've not got much of a sweet tooth really.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Oh, you can pop in and ask them what time they finish serving breakfast then, save me having a wasted journey in the morning

Negril has been there for years.

 

[quimcunx]

Why would you be nervous?

Me and Minnie are lovely.

 

[quimcunx]

I've not got much of a sweet tooth really.

I expect that's where you're going wrong.

 

[Kanda]

Negril has been there for years.

So has the Gallery.

Where/what is Spoon??
