It is a great little place to buy some gourmet goods and to be honest, I don't really look at the prices - I just know what I buy for my fridge/pantry will be quality and delicious and so far, the items I have splurged on have been fab.
Today I dropped in, baby on hip, greeted by lovely Aussie accents, (ohhing and ahhing over MissL per usual), actually saw someone I knew (shock, horror), purchased one of the best and freshest baguettes in town, a tub of the most awesomely delicious Capsicum & Eggplant Pesto (made in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury), went home and pigged out.
It is hard to beat fresh traditional ham, on baguette pieces spread with Jones The Grocer Cranberry sauce (*drool*) and then a couple of baguette pieces spread with a thick layer of fresh pesto. Delicious.
Having Jones The Grocer in the city, makes me feel more and more at home here in Abu Dhabi.

Oh yum - probably way more inaccessible and expensive here.
Someone you know from here, or someone you know from there?
I love it when you find 'local' produce when you are far, far away. (very far in your instance!)
I lived overseas for 4 years in my 20s (oh the dim distant past!) and I remember the excitement of finding something Aussie in the supermarket. I see you're a fellow baguette lover. I'm afraid I've developed a baguette a day habit - the other members of my family love them too, I should add!!
