Lemoni Restaurant and Bakery has been my absolute favourite spot to grab a coffee in Bedfordview for the passed three years. Their mini cheesecakes have gotten me through some tough times and I've enjoyed many late breakfasts out in their sunny courtyard. As such, I was disappointed when they announced they will be running as a fully online catering store for the foreseeable future.
The restaurant closed its doors at the end of May, with the promise of something even better to come. For now, I'll be able to enjoy my favourite Lemoni treats through their online store. They offer a wide variety of family-style ready meals, sweet and savoury platters, cakes and sharing boxes. Their grazing tables are also famed for being absolutely moreish. So, whether you want to enjoy a feast all to yourself at home or invite a few guests around, Lemoni has you covered. Read on to find out more about their online offerings and catering options.
Pre-made meals
When you think of pre-made meals, what comes to mind? Soggy microwave dinners devoid of flavour or nutrients, perhaps? Lemoni Bakery offers you a fabulous alternative to expensive and mediocre grocery store ready meals. Their selection of family style meals are hearty and filling. Take your pick from traditional beef or chicken lasagna, cottage pie or spaghetti and meatballs. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, browse through their Mediterranean inspired offerings. My top pick is the spinach and feta phyllo pie. It looks perfectly flaky and like the perfect accompaniment to a quick tossed together Greek salad. For those days when you need to feed an army of little monsters in a hurry, you can't go wrong with their Greek meatball bake. It's all the goodness of a home cooked meal without the unnecessary fuss. Click here to order yourself and the family a tasty ready meal from Lemoni.
Sweet treats
Lemoni's selection of gourmet cupcakes, brownies, mini cheesecakes, creme puffs and tarts are heavenly. Their bakers are certainly inspired by the cake gods. Treat yourself to one of their sweet platters the next time you are feeling like you need a serious pick me up. You'll be brimming from ear to ear after tucking into one of these decadent spreads. I've got my eye (and my sweet tooth) on the Chocolate Lover's Box which includes a selection of chocolate tarts, choc mousse eclairs, chocolate meringue brownie bites, small choc chip shortbreads, and choc dipped mini donuts. This box serves six to eight people comfortably, so I'll definitely be organizing a dessert night with friends soon.
If you'd prefer something more paired back and budget-friendly, order a box of classic vanilla cupcakes. Lemoni packs all their baked goods with flavour and sweetness, so you needn't worry about missing out. From their most basic treats to their gourmet cakes, they take pride in everything that comes out of their kitchen. Click here to order something sweet from their online store.
Grazing tables
Lemoni caters for a wide variety of events, including baby showers, engagement parties, and small weddings. Their grazing and harvest tables create the perfect opportunity for networking and catch-up conversations with old friends, too. Guests are able to browse at leisure and take their pick from an array of sweet and savoury snacks. Lemoni will set up this show stopping table of goodies at your home or any venue around Gauteng.
