Abuelo Marylebone - Review - Marylebone - London - The Infatuation

"We can’t walk past this Marylebone cafe without feeling an intense urge to go inside and redesign our entire home to match Abuelo’s gorgeous interiors. Beautiful dark wood and chrome fittings aside, the food at this popular spot is for anyone who spends a significant amount of time in the fancy crackers section of Waitrose and refers to organic milk as an “investment”. Dishes go between an easy assembly job (cc the literal ‘bit of everything plate’) that you can skip, and homely breakfasts like a Spanish tortilla topped with caramelised onions, spicy mayo, and fresh labneh that’s worth an order. But the real pull here is the room. So drink a salted vanilla cream matcha and eat a carrot cake that’s as pretty as the interiors, and take plenty of snaps in the process. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Tortilla This potato and cheese omelette is salty and sweet from the caramelised onions on top. Order this if you’re hungry. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Bit Of Everything Plate You’ll see the description—“vanilla fig & miso house jam, comte cheese, whipped butter, soft boiled egg and fresh sourdough” and think it’s a combination of these ingredients in a prepared dish. But, no. It is just all of those things, on a plate, and it is underwhelming to say the least. Salted Vanilla Cream Matcha Abuelo is by far the most generous spot when it comes to the amount of cream on its matcha. The salted vanilla takes up almost half the entire cup and when mixed in, gives the matcha a nice subtle sweetness and the perfect creamy texture. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak
