There are hundreds of interesting, one-of-a-kind products at Phoenicia, including but not limited to: kale oatmeal raisin cookies, smoked kippers, fresh rigatoni, Danish cookies, Russian jam, frozen lamb pies, and a continuously operating conveyor belt delivering fresh pita bread. Those features, in combination with the seemingly endless collection meats, crackers, chutneys, gravies, cheeses and condiments, can lead you easily to spend an hour on the ground floor. Don’t forget, however, to go up the stairs to the second floor where there’s an even greater wine selection, household goods, like Le Creuset and every cooking utensil you can imagine, plus shelf after shelf of spices ranging the pedestrian (cinnamon) to exotic (jiggery powder). During lunchtime on weekdays, you’ll want to allow even more time for your Phoenicia visit if you’re planning to pick up made-to-order food (highly recommended). A hot buffet bar is stocked with stewed lamb, vegetables, etc. but a better bet is the freshly made pizzas. Those with a sweet tooth should check out the extensive baked good options that encompass everything from oversized chocolate chip cookies to house-made, incredibly delicate Indian and Mediterranean pastries.
