International Market & Deli

580 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey (831) 375-9451, internationalmarketanddeli.webs.com

In the dark ages before the internet gave us global ingredients at the click of a button, locals’ go-to stop for specialty global groceries was International Market & Deli. Fast forward to 2019, and the market still does brisk business supplying specialty ingredients from the Middle East to Russia with a personal touch. Hummus, gyros and more Mediterranean foods from the deli counter get righteous recommendations for a schweet lunch for yourself – or a popular option for group catering if you need to feed a cool crowd.
