Hugo's Deli — Restaurant in Melbourne

Amazing sangas loaded with fresh and high quality protein sandwiched in fluffy shokupan or buttery sourdough toasts.

Wanted to try everything but had to opt for their 2 most popular…

Fried chicken katsu sandwich (4.5/5): they do a phat chicken sanga - fat, juicy, crispy and flavourful. The lettuce and hugo’s sauce had a nice lemony and herby kick which elevated that delicious chicken. Tastes like a fillet-o-fish b ur chicken - outdone Maccas that’s for sure. The shokupan was the best vessel to bring out the experience of the fried chicken. Whilst I prefer my buns on a crispy chicken sanga, I think the panko crumbing pairs best with the fluffy sweet bread. Probably can eat this everyday if I could.

Reuben toastie (3.75/5): loved everything about it in terms of the toasted sourdough, reuben, Hugo’s sauce and cheese. Down points bc I found the sauerkraut too sour and the mustard too overpowering. Less of those 2 would’ve been a 10/10 bc I am a sucker for a Reuben. Would let Hugo’s take the crown for the best Reuben in terms of portion, quality and concept to a classic Reuben.

Definitely coming back to try their fried Mushroom and Fish sandwiches as well as their Cheesy toasties.

A year later and now I am a regular. Fan of their classics & a crazier fan for their weekend specials like their steak frites baguette 10/10
