Babettes

This place is on the corner of two busy junctions in Ards and I have passed it many times and thought it looked cool.
The green and black exterior is nice and attractive, they have outdoor seating and they advertise amazing sounding flavored coffee in the window.
Lunch time rolled around and I thought I’d drop in for a sarnie.
I took a look at the over head menu and I liked the way they had listed their sandwiches — something hot with meat… something cold with chicken… something cold with meat… something hot with chicken… you get the idea.
The names of the sandwiches are a bit different and quirky: A Square Dance, Peter Piper, Brutus or my sarnie of choice — Chicken tango.
Chicken tango in chicken breast with mango salsa and mango chutney. Quite nice and very zingy on the tongue — not large enough for my liking though. I’m a growing girl and so a bigger baguette would be nicer.
The sandwiches are £2.75 unless you decide to sit in then they become £3.75 — I hate that and I wasn’t asked if I was sitting in or taking out and so there was some confusion. I took it away in the end. I also ordered a cup of tea to take away and, as per usual, it was far too hot and I couldn’t hold the cup because it was sooooo hot — they should invest in the little cardboard bits to protect customers fingers.
They do offer a delivery to your desk which is good and you are not limited to sandwiches. They do a nice little selection of lunchtime champ — champ and sausage, champ and bacon, champ and beef or champ and cheese — awesome idea for chilly rainy days.
Overall an OK experience — there are bigger, nicer sandwiches in the area but this place was definitely worth a look — I’ll be back at some stage but I’ll not be rushing.
