Groggy and hungry? We’ll take care of you!

So here it is … New Year’s Day. How was your night? We hope you brought in 2011 with friends and fun.

And if you overindulged, as in if you’re hungover, drop by the Deli day.

We’re open for breakfast from 9:00am till 3:00pm today, so bring your hangover in and have a relaxing Urban Deli breakfast. Have a look at the breakfast menu. We think you’ll find something that appeals and puts a smile on your face.

You may want to consider starting with a mimosa — hair of the dog so to speak.

Start your morning with a Mimosa (champagne & fresh squeezed orange juice) or make it a Royale by adding Grand Marnier.

A mimosa is champagne and freshly squeezed orange juice. You may even want to make it a Royale by adding Grand Marnier. Mmm!

There’s no rush to get out of bed and make it in for breakfast because we’re open till the early afternoon — 3:00pm. So get up when you’re ready and drop in when the spirit moves you (but before 3pm). Today is for relaxing and taking it easy.

But please pop on in so we can wish you a Happy New Year and start your 2011 with one of our delightful Deli breakfasts.

And don’t forget, we’ve got you covered for coffee too thanks to our friends at Red Whale!

Have a wonderful day and a thrilling New Year!

We have it covered! Enjoy your hangover at the Deli!

Join us New Year’s Eve at Urban Deli

With Christmas already in the rear view mirror, it’s now the New Year that is coming up on us quickly, and that means New Year’s Eve.

This New Year’s Eve we have a special chef and a special menu and a special 7:00pm seating. Please call Liz at the Deli to reserve — 652-3354.

Our chef for the evening is Fred Decker. He’s a Maritimer who, like many of us, spent time out west. You may remember a column he had not long ago in the Telegraph-Journal called Field and Table.

You can find out more about Fred (including his fascination with food, particularly local food) at the Bounty of New Brunswick site, where Fred also has his blog.

As for what is on the menu, it begins with a variety of appetizers, including caramelized pears with brie and honey, cucumber rosettes, tapenade toasts and more … all followed by a palate cleansing chef’s choice sorbet.

This will be followed by the primary business at hand, the main choices – land and sea. These options are a pesto chicken or glazed salmon or beef wellington or our vegetarian choice, roasted vegetable strudel with roasted red pepper coulis.

For the full details on our main choices, as well as our ‘something sweet to finish’ dessert duo, have a look at our complete New Year’s Eve menu (.pdf file).

It’s a special New Year’s Eve at the Urban Deli with a special 7:00pm seating. Please call the Deli at 652-3354 and ask for Liz to reserve a seat.

We’re looking forward to a great evening and hope you can join us!

Our holiday hours and have a Deli-icious Christmas!

Urban Deli Christmas 2010: Rob, Michael-Ann, Liane, Janna, Fran, Craig, Dale, Gord, Elizabeth, Alan, Vaughan, and Jordan. Missing in the photo: Greg, Phil, Dave, Jenny and Candy.

Wow! It’s here! Like you, we’ve been so busy we barely noticed it coming up on us. But it’s Christmas Eve day now and we know what tomorrow is, so we wanted to pause a moment and say a big thank you to everyone: our wonderful staff, suppliers, all the other Uptown businesses and, with a really big emphasis, our marvelous customers.

Not only have our customers kept us busy, a lot of them have given us great ideas for new things to introduce and on occasion have helped us “taste test” new items to see if they were up to their standards and ours.

It’s amazing how much they’ve helped us this year. So …

Thank you! And we hope everyone, everywhere has a Christmas to remember and a New Year that flies by because it’s so full of new people and things. And may we all be prosperous! Happy holidays!

Speaking of which, these are our hours over the holidays:

Holiday Hours:

  • Dec. 27 to 30: Regular Hours
  • Dec 31 (New Year’s Eve): Special New Year’s Eve dinner seating at 7:00pm — please call ahead (ask for Liz) and reserve.
  • Jan. 1 (New Year’s Day): Enjoy your hangover at the Deli! Breakfast only 9:00am to 3:00pm.

And we’re back to regular hours on January 2, 2011.

A little something about service

Herb Duncan had a very nice column in yesterday’s Telegraph-Journal titled “From the deli: don’t risk it with the brisket.” Brisket? Yes, he was talking about Urban Deli:

“There is a rather simple but critically important message to this small business story: Listen to your customers, work hard to keep costs down, look for opportunities to improve your product and services through best practices.”

Yes, indeed.
