Pressellers -- Just How Much I Love Their Baguettes


Pressellers is a gallery,  Pressellers is a deli, Pressellers is a garden...all of the above.  Best of all they create the best gourmet sandwiches in town served on a variety of breads with scrumptious veggies, if you so choose.  Their menu  includes, among many other tasty items, a Food and Art Section with sandwiches named after famous painters.  My favorites among these are the Renoir composed of Norwegian salmon, goat cheese, onions and tomatoes served on a croissant (I like it on a baguette), Monet's Garden colored with fresh veggies and your choice of cheese, and the Duchamp, smoked turkey on a french roll with brie cheese and granny smith apples.  Also available are build-yourself sandwiches with a large assortment of meats and cheeses, outstanding soups and more.   For full details on the menu check http://www.pressellergallery.com.

On a recent visit, we ordered our favorite sandwiches and retreated to the backyard garden pictured here.  It's a serene setting surrounded with bougainvillea with eclectic seating.  It was one of those perfect Punta Gorda afternoons warm but not too warm, with a soft summer-like breeze.   A waitress brought the ordered lunches to our table where we spent an idyllic hour or so enjoying the day, reading our books and munching on delightful baguette sandwiches.  

Another option which we frequently take is gallery seating.  There,  in a small art space , you can enjoy your lunch in the midst of Punta Gorda artists' work.

  1. Presseller is just wonderful. Friendly staff and great choices. It was like being in a garden cafe even inside. The outside is a delight. Just strolling around after our meal was a joy.
