A lovely spot for a tasty brunch with a twist. They do classics very well such as delicious scrambled eggs and yummy coffee but also have dishes with a Danish twist such as their special variations of a rarebit.
Snaps + Rye is a Danish Eatery and Takeaway situated on Golborne Road, West London, just a short walk away from the Ladbroke Grove station. JB and I stopped by for lunch which consists of traditional Danish Smørrebrød on homemade rye bread, meatballs, home cured salmon, and an a la carte menu on a daily basis.
After studying the menu for a decent amount of time, wandering the shop and eyeing up other people’s lunch we decided on what to have!
I opted for Danish Smørrebrød complete with apple, chicken and crispy bacon which was divine. For sides I tried the potato salad and rye bread with cheese. To drink I obviously had to go with the Cocio Chocolate milk from Denmark. I wanted the full Danish experience!
JB opted for Rare Beef on Rye with soft boiled egg, pickled mushrooms and mustard cauliflower. There was even some marrow thrown in for good measure!
We both emptied our plates, and despite being full to the brim I probably could of tried more!
The service was of a very high standard, and the venue itself was very quirky. Lots of great artwork, and the furniture was really nice too. The whole area felt bright, and airy.
There’s even a little shopping area where you can by rye bread, lots of the ingredients from their menu and the plates/home wares that decorate the venue. I had to tear myself away from the mustard selection as I’m sure they won’t go down too well on my healthy eating plan!
I’d highly recommend popping by Snaps + Rye if you’re in the area as the food and service is very authentic.
I recently attended a chocolate class with other bloggers at ‘Bake With Maria‘, a baking school run by the lovely Maria Mayerhofer. Maria teaches all kinds of classes, from macarons to croissants, and last week, I was invited to try out her ‘baking with rye’ class. I really enjoy making and eating bread, although I’d never made rye bread at home before. There’s so much focus in the news at the moment on eating healthily and cutting out various food substances, such as gluten or yeast, so I was keen to see if I would like the rye products as much as standard white or brown bread. I was hoping I would, as it seemed like a healthier alternative!
