Penelope’s Deli

A recently opened deli from the owners of Penelope’s Kitchen and the coffee and cocktail bar Love Conquers All (which are also in MediaCityUK).
Their other eateries are somewhat tucked away and tend to attract the media types from the surrounding buildings, whereas the Deli is catering to the lunch crowd of workers and visitors alike.
It’s a light, bright and large space with a plentiful amount of seating adjacent to the building’s reception area. There are full height windows looking out on to the piazza too (alas, it is a sea of concrete out there).
The offerings are mainly sandwiches and pasta pots (I had a ‘BBQ Bean Dream’ panini and it was very good). They also have a range of snacks and drinks as well as slices of cake which looked tempting.
I’m glad I tried a bite to eat here, but I doubt I’ll be a regular dine-​in customer as it feels more like a grab and go kind of place, lacking the character of LCA which is a short walk away.
