Say “yes” to dessert

Lemon sour cream pies ready for catering

Lemon sour cream pies ready for catering

Delight your taste buds with any one of Urban Deli’s fabulous desserts. On a daily basis one of our desserts is being prepared from scratch in our prep-kitchen. Once they are pulled hot out of the oven, they are either used for catering, special events or to order in the restaurant. These creations are not purchased from a store and instead are made in-house to guarantee the flavour and quality.

The recipe for the chocolate brownie has evolved over time in order to produce a chewy, ooey, gooey, chocolaty delight. The molten chocolate cake is excellent for dark chocolate lovers and has a hot inner lava filling. These are both served with chocolate sauce and real whipped cream.

Freshly cut apples are put into the apple crumble along with the other traditional ingredients such as rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Served hot! The option to add vanilla ice-cream is available to make the dining experience more enjoyable.

The two highlights are always the moist carrot cake (cream cheese icing inside and out) and the lemon sour cream pie (sweet yet tart). Cheesecake is also available and at times we produce a chef’s creation. These desserts change on a regular basis.

If you are going to have one of these desserts at Urban Deli, have them accompanied by a hot coffee (from our producer Red Whale) or tea. They are great for sharing and are available to take home. Just make sure you make time to try at least one.

A night in December at the Deli

It’s the season for get-togethers and last night we hosted Avant-Garde Construction and Management Inc. for their Christmas party. If you look at the photo below you’ll see they were seated at our long communal table.

What kind of food might be involved at a Christmas party at the Urban Deli? For Avant-Garde it began with appetizers. We served up roasted garlic and artichoke dip, bacon  wrapped scallops and char crusted pork tenderloin. There was also a choice of seafood chowder, spinach salad, caesar salad, or house salad.

For the main course guests had a choice of smoked whole lobster (smoked in house, at the Deli), rack of ribs, smoked herb crusted 1/2 chicken accompanied by rice garlic mashed potatoes or fries (our potato frites).

And for dessert it was a choice of molten chocolate cake, our now famous sour cream lemon pie or a candy cane cheese cake.

We also had some evening musical entertainment provided by Jessica Darrah.

And that was our Saturday night at the Urban Deli. A big thank you to everyone, including our wonderful staff, and a Merry Christmas to Avant-Garde!
