The limited-edition Maine-style lobster roll at Café Mondo

Few dishes evoke the spirit of a destination quite like Maine and its lobster roll: butter-toasted, split-top buns piled high with fresh lobster meat, straight from the icy-clean Atlantic.

For all of London's foodie credentials, it's still a rare delicacy here – so when it turns up on a menu, we make sure to sample it pronto. Cue the good news: Café Mondo, the cult-favourite independent sandwich joint in Camberwell, is serving up a Maine-style lobster roll, bringing a taste of New England to South London in partnership with Visit Maine and us here at Foodism.

Expect a contemporary twist on the coastal classic: plump, sustainably sourced lobster meat and diced kohlrabi, lightly dressed in wasabi mayonnaise and finished with tobiko, chives, and red-stem pickled ginger, all piled high in Café Mondo's home-baked, butter-toasted, split-top bun.

It's available for two weekends only across September and October, so don't miss this meeting of one of London's best sandwich shops and one of the world's most iconic sandwiches.
