New deli for Constantia

There are displays of organic fruit and vegetables and an order-a-box scheme runs from the deli. There is a daily blackboard menu for breakfast and lunch and customers will find there is a strong emphasis on wholesome food with a healthy slant. Meals are served from 7.30am to 4.pm.

Charmaine Lilje, a self-taught chef with a business degree and owner of successful catering company Chardonnay Chefs, owns the deli. Economist-turned-baker Malik Mosia makes magic with his artisan loaves including a 50% sourdough rye, a multigrain seed loaf and his trademark gourmet ciabattas, studded with everything from rosemary to olives.

The deli also offers outside catering menu and an extra service of deliveries in the area will be added in the future. For more information, go to www.chardonnaydeli.co.za.
