Fernandez and Wells: Spanish Nipples on Lexington Street

Fernandez and Wells has been around in Soho for a while and sustained itself across three locations. Beak Street and St Anne’s Court for sandwiches, cakes and coffee.

My fave one?

… on Lexington Street!

Described on their website as “European market stall in an English setting”, the Lexington cafe specialises in cured meat–most of which are from Spain–cheese–Spanish and French–wonderful salads—only on weekdays–and sandwiches–with some Italian influences. Expect the exclusive range of Jamon Iberico de Bellotta, Chorizo, Manchego cheese, Focaccia replacing white or wholemeal bread in sandwiches, and the list goes on (and changes from time to time!).

My all-time favourites, the Monte Enebro cheese, which is made from goat’s milk but has an amazing, though not as rich, Roquefort taste, and fried Chorizo with Manchego cheese. Both are served with toasted baguette drizzled with olive oil.

Imagine all this with a glass of white wine. My heaven on earth…
