Delamina Delivers Unforgettable Dessert in Covent Garden
In the heart of London’s cultural and culinary hub, Covent Garden, Delamina Townhouse stands as a beacon for those seeking not only vibrant Eastern Mediterranean cuisine but also exceptional, health-conscious indulgence. While the savoury menu at Delamina is celebrated for its rich Tel Aviv-inspired flavours and mindful preparation, it’s the dessert selection that often steals the spotlight — subtly luxurious, strikingly original, and full of complex character.
Whether you’re rounding off a mezze-laden meal or simply dropping by for a sweet treat and a digestif, Delamina offers some of the most unforgettable desserts in Covent Garden.
A Dessert Menu That Balances Indulgence with Intrigue
At Delamina Townhouse, dessert isn’t an afterthought. It’s a curated collection of sweet dishes that reflect the same bold creativity and healthy ethos as the main menu. Using ingredients like olive oil, halva, puffed buckwheat, and thyme-roasted fruit, the kitchen team turns out plates that are rich in texture, balanced in flavour, and—true to Delamina’s style—unexpectedly elegant.
Here are the current highlights from Delamina’s dessert menu:
- Parfait of Candied Macadamia Nuts and Irish Cream (V, GF) – Creamy, crunchy and deeply comforting, this parfait delivers sweet satisfaction with an edge of refinement. The macadamias bring an earthy crunch to the rich, silky base, while the Irish cream adds a hint of indulgence.
- Kadayif Nest with Vanilla Cheesecake Cream and Caramelised Pecans (V) – A signature dish, this Middle Eastern-style shredded pastry nest holds a lush cheesecake-style filling, topped with caramelised pecans and a vibrant orange peel reduction. Sweet, nutty, crisp, and creamy all in one mouthful – it’s the kind of dessert that lingers in memory.
- Chocolate Mousse with Olive Oil, Coffee & Urfa Chilli Shards (V, GF) – Possibly the most daring dessert on the list, this mousse is anything but ordinary. The olive oil gives the chocolate unexpected depth, while the chilli and coffee infuse the dish with warmth and complexity. This one’s for the adventurous palate.
- Halva Mousse with Thyme-Roasted Pear and Puffed Buckwheat (VG, GF) – A beautifully balanced vegan option, this dish is a symphony of sweet sesame, warm roasted pear, and the subtle crunch of puffed buckwheat. Light yet full of flavour, it’s a testament to Delamina’s skill with plant-based creations.
Pair It Right: Dessert Wines & Digestifs
No dessert experience at Delamina is complete without exploring our dessert wine and digestif offerings. The wine list includes:
- Chenin Blanc (Coteaux du Layon, France) – With honeyed stone fruit notes, this is a delicate pairing for lighter desserts like the halva mousse.
- Petit Manseng Ice Wine (Spain) – This luscious, raisin-forward wine complements the parfait and cheesecake options beautifully.
- Mourvèdre Late Harvest (USA) – Fruity and rich, perfect with the chocolate mousse’s boldness.
For something stronger, our digestif menu includes everything from Arak and Armagnac to Disaronno Amaretto, Calvados, and a collection of fine whiskies and cognacs. Whether you’re a fan of sambuca or Limoncello, there’s a perfect post-dessert sip waiting to complete your evening.
