I would like to say that I was too busy this week for lunch and I didn’t have time to venture far but I was just being lazy. Wednesday I went to my my #1 lunch place, Hummus Bros.
-
Hummus Bros is on a main street but they only have a few locations around London. Everyone that works there is really nice. The Cheapside location opened in December and 5 months later I think The City has turned hummus crazy!

There are a few tables to eat in and it’s hard to see from this picture but at the back is a long counter where they dish up the hummus in the middle and then the dish slides down to either side where the topping is put on.

They have a lot of different toppings, chicken, beef, mushroom and guacamole. I always get the guacamole topping. I never get tired of it. I sometimes go twice a week. Before the Cheapside branch opened I would rush to Holborn on the tube to get my fix! The regular size guacamole is £4.30.

On Thursday I thought I should stop being so lazy and I went to Piada. It’s in St. Adam’s Court just off of Threadneedle Street.

I went at 12.15 and there was already a queue out the door. The traders in their expensive suits were giving me strange looks for taking pictures of the window!
-
Everyone working inside was Italian. It was pretty small inside but there were a few stools to eat in. It’s all new and cool looking inside. I liked that they had the menu by the door where everyone was queuing to get in. Not by the counter. Since it was my first time I could decide while I was in line.

I was trying to get a picture of the guy making the piadine’s but there were far too many people. They grill them behind the counter
They serve spaghetti for £7.00 for a bowl but I think that’s pretty steep. I went to Piada to try their wrap sandwiches a “Piadine“. I’m not sure it’s authentic Italian but it was interesting! The wrap part is a crepe and it’s filled with different savory things. I chose the 0. It was filled wit Salame Milanese, stracchino cheese & rocket.

Ignore how messy my desk is. The Piadine was very filling and they also had a cold case with drinks and I couldn’t resist getting a Jones soda. It was Berry Lemonade. The Piadine was £4.70 and the Jones soda £2.00. I definitely think I will go back to try another Piadine.

the full menu including specials is on their web site. There's a link just above the first piada picture and also a link in the bubble of the map.
