A NEW multi-cultural delicatessen has opened in York.
As The Press reported last week, the much-loved Oleria Patisserie, which opened as a cafe and patisserie in Bootham opposite the pedestrian entrance to Bootham School several years ago, has become a firm favourite with locals who were dismayed to see it had shut up shop if only temporality earlier in the week.
However, over the weekend they have expanded to bigger premises at 78-80 Gillygate - the former home of Tarts and Titbits.
The Bootham patisserie, which sells treats, including biscuits and pastries in its shop and cafe has now opened a new delicatessen selling a wide range of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
A sign in the window says it will be offering customers a trip back in time to the food of the ancient Greeks with 'an introduction to the diet of the Minoan civilisation'.
The Minoan civilization was a Bronze Age Aegean civilization on the island of Crete ruled by the legendary King Minos.
