Ferreira Delicatesan & Portuguese Shop - Camden

Don't be put of by the off putting exterior - the charm of Ferreira is it's aged looks. Inside it's even more of a retro gem. The deli counter has a seventies supermarket style red and white canopy and if your lucky you'll find a bottle of Blue Nun. With newspapers, sausages rolls, fresh bread and tinned food by the yard this is an old school Sunday morning heaven.

They also sell the cheapest pastel de nata in London at 70p each. Which is rather good seeing as just about every deli in London buys them from the same bakery on the south side of the Thames.

On the subject of Pastel I would love to see someone somewhere in London give them the love they receive at home. Where are the sexy boxes and the cinnamon dust?  The Chocolate Icing? The warm just from the Oven smell?
