Daylesford Organic

This past summer instead of spending my days tending our vegetable garden I decided that it was time to visit my home country South Africa. I had not been back for 6 years and my youngest daughter had not yet met many of our family members. We broke the long trip and stayed in London for three nights on the way there. At the hotel I read an article about an organic restaurant, "Daylesford Organic" on Pimlico Road. It was our first stop after taking the girls to Buckingham Palace. I was so overwhelmed by the place, I had finally found something that was "perfect". They have two shops on pimlico, one is the "The Garden" shop and the other is the store where you can buy incredible vegtables, fruit, pastries, bread, meat ect... and then upstairs they have a restaurant. We had the most fantastic meal, all done so simply and it tasted out of this world. They also sell amazing kitchen wear and books that i could have spent all day reading if my youngest daughter had not been ready to tear everything off the counters. The design is just beautiful, simple but powerful, take note of the organic pastries to the right, not everything organic has to look "homemade".The shop is almost entirely done in Carrara marble, clean and cool. http://www.daylesfordorganic.com/

My husband and two girls outside "The Garden" shop, they were selling flats of organic lettuce and other organic vegetables, all so beautifully presented.

Waiting for our meal!!!!
