The Terrace Eatery

The Terrace Eatery, in Kingston’s beautiful and central location of Apple Market Square, was a resounding hit with our reviewers from start to finish. The food was impeccable and all their Deli-style sandwiches, wraps, salads, breakfasts, fruit salads, pancakes and smoothies are individually made in front of you, using only the finest and freshest local ingredients.

On arrival we were warmly greeted by co-owner Jan and shown the impressive Terrace Eatery menu and fine selection of food and drinks on offer. With such a wide-ranging menu we were indeed spoiled for choice.

You can enjoy 30 variations of their Deli-sandwiches, 15 delicious types of salads, 10 different homemade cakes, 25 breakfast options as well as the abundance of mixed fresh fruit, granolas and smoothies and coffees on offer - all while sitting in their glorious oak beamed cafe with its historic and stunning exposed brickwork. Or, like us, you can choose to eat al fresco on the glorious outdoor terrace which has a further seating for 50 customers.

We opted for a mixed platter consisting of whole baked aubergine stuffed with peppers, sun dried tomatoes and basil with a side of Moroccan couscous and a mixed vegetable medley containing broccoli, green beans and red onion. The trio of dishes combined were delicious and the flavour of the spiced couscous perfectly offset the fresh and crunchy freshly-made vegetable salad. The aubergine was slow roasted to perfection too, brimming with flavour from the sundried vine tomatoes and the peppers were plentiful and so tasty. A huge thumbs up and a great choice for any vegan or vegetarian’s out there.

Next up we decided to try the chicken escalope with crispy bacon, cucumber, tomato and salad with fresh mayo. It came on thick sliced, fresh, white bread (or you can choose brown). The chicken was really succulent and flavours worked with the mayo, crispy bacon and salad.

Our third and final dish was smashed avocado on granary

toast topped with two poached eggs and garnished with chilli flakes and mustard seeds. Wow what a dish. The avocado was delicious so fresh and so much of it. And the poached eggs were cooked perfectly, with the large oozy yellow yolk pouring out after just one stab of the fork.

To accompany we opted for an Iced Cappuccino (which had plenty of kick!) and kept us going for hours (Jan did pre-warn us!) and a freshly blended avocado and banana smoothie packed full of fruit and flavour – a delicious, refreshing and healthy drink. We were sold!
