Where: Time2Eat,136 High Road, N15 6JN
Tube: Seven Sisters
Had: Cheese & Onion Omelette, Diet Coke
Cost: £4.80
Being lonely a caff about 5 minutes away from Seven Sisters station makes Time2Eat a convenient choice for lunch whenever work or life takes me to the Area. Time2Eat is one of those very British no nonsense places for good, honest food in a slightly dodgy, but in the case of T2E very clean, eating area.
The interior resembles a waiting- room in a train station or, possibly, a hospital: plastic chairs, plastic tables and, strangely, lots of mirrors. It's not an unpleasant place to be- the large windows and light yellow walls ensure a nice and bright eating experience.
What is bringing the atmosphere down a notch is the view into and noise from the kitchen right behind the counter not to mention the little sign that threatens to punch anyone who asks for credit. Apart from this, the staff is very friendly and professional.
My attention turns to the very basic but extensive menu. All the usual suspects- jackets, omelettes, sandwiches, burgers, steaks- are available. Most important for readers of this blog: there are exactly 25 vegetarian options.
I choose the cheese and onion omelette which arrives so fast that I can't even start on the magazine I brought. A huge amount of food is placed in front of me, omelette, chips and an excellent mixed side salad.Though enjoyable as a whole the alleged cheese and onion omelette was mainly an onion omelette.
After finishing about half the plate, I start struggling. Thinking about how comparatively much I've paid for this meal, I'm determined to finish every single one of the golden, crispy chips. A few more bites into the monstrous I give up, leave and feel about a stone heavier as I walk out of the cafe.
Verdict: Half portions for half price?
