Following my last post about Oceano Restaurant, I think it’s appropriate to mention another key factor that led me to move to Leyton: the Portuguese delicatessen in High Road Leyton, Palmeira.
I go there any time I need a quick fix of Portuguese goodness, be it a galão, a rissol, a cod cake or a delicious beef sandwich. And at £1.10, it’s home to one of the cheapest espressos you’ll find in London.
