The National Geographic Store Café is a truly unique place to spend your summer evenings, offering a continental culinary experience right in the heart of London’s Regent Street.
Make sure you pop in to enjoy a glass of La Vendimia Rioja and Grilled Tiger Prawn Pinchos at the National Geographic Store Café. Offering everything from organic wines to afternoon tea, and featuring some of the world’s finest cuisine, The Café which is located on London’s Regent Street has a fantastic Mediterranean inspired café to help you unwind after a hard day’s shopping.
While away the hours talking with friends over a glass of wine; or take in some spectacular photography whilst enjoying a coffee, all without leaving the centre of the city. And this year, to mark their first summer, why not come and experience the great new outdoor seating area in Swallow Street? Located in the heart of the West End the Store is perfectly placed for that post shopping treat; but with its unique continental feel it’ll seem a million miles away from the madding crowd.
The National Geographic Store takes its interest in world culture and exploration very seriously and so Pinchos, a tradition that originated in Spain, are served in Store. Consisting of miniature offerings of a range of fantastic, fresh and carefully sourced ingredients – they encourage food to be shared and offer a great alternative to the modern urban diet. Award-winning Spanish chef Miguel Espinosa has designed the menu to incorporate healthy ingredients with great flavours, and a Mediterranean tradition that will allow you to relax, savour the fantastic flavours and be transported on a culinary tour of the globe.
If you are looking for something to enjoy at home, why not try the fabulous Enric Rovira chocolate range which offers many exotic flavours in perfectly presented handmade truffles. Growing up surrounded by sweet things in his Father’s pastry shop in Barcelona, Enric first realised his passion for chocolate and after spending many years perfecting his art he opened his first shop in 1986. Barcelona is fast becoming famous for its wonderful boutique chocolate shops, and Enric Rovira is recognised as the most deluxe of these talented Chocolatiers. A work of art in their own right they make an ideal gift or an especially indulgent treat for one’s self. Enjoy Turkish delight, almond and violet flavour chocolates, or opt for the beautifully designed, solar system inspired chocolate selection. They really are out of this world.
Alternatively, stop by for afternoon tea and choose from an extensive selection sourced from all around the world – Japanese Matcha and Chinese Pu Erh Red tea are just two of the exotic selection. All the teas are organic, and are picked, processed and packed in 24 hours with manufacturing methods that ensure the very freshest leaves. With a daily range of delicious cakes and pastries it will be really hard to resist the temptation to lose a whole afternoon in the Store.
If you really take a fancy to the Store, then there is always the opportunity to take your table and chair home with you, as the cafe furniture like all the items in Store, are for sale. The furniture available is sourced across five continents, and features many completely unique pieces such as the wonderful light fittings, which were made by a Lebanese craftsman (prices start from around £340). These beautiful and individual pieces will help you recreate that Continental look and feel at home whether the sun shines or not this summer.
