Nico's Sandwich Deli — Restaurant in Melbourne

🍄 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 - AUD 16⁣ Using sourdough bread as the carb portion of a sandwich is superior imo. Shokupan is nice but sourdough holds better, also compliments the richer flavours that deli sandwiches have. This was light on the truffle flavour so it wasn’t too surfeiting, but had a rich cheese funk that we enjoyed. Roasted portobello mushrooms were delicious, and the koji chimichurri and American mustard did give the sando a spicy kick too. ⁣ ⁣ 🥪 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 - AUD 17 ⁣ The house smoked pork belly and grandma smoked ham were meaty and nice, making it quite a substantial sandwich. The cob lettuce in Nico’s salad cream added creaminess to the relatively salty meats while the koji chimichurri helped to cut through the richness of everything. Also loved how the country loaf soaked up everything well so there wasn’t much leakage left in the wrappers⁣ ⁣ We visited the original one at Fitzroy at about 9.30am and it wasn’t too crowded. Outdoor seats were perfect even in the winter cold. Alternatively, they’ve got a more central outlet near Flagstaff/Southern Cross that’s more...

We are in love with this place! We saw this place on our Instagram and visited! Service was awesome, lovely people, real foodies and know a lot about food and recommend other venues to visit. Coffee was delicious, probably the best place to get 5 sense coffee - was as strong as other 5 sense blends I’ve tried which is good for me. The sandwich was made to order which was a bonus so we were happy to wait for that. We ordered the Cubano which was a fully loaded sandwich with dill, pickles, ham and smoked pork belly! I would love to know the secret ingredients in their salad cream. The sandwich was unbelievable and the best tasting sandwich we have had in a long time. Will definitely visit again soon and are waiting to try their spicy chicken - which is a special. Thank you for making lockdown more bearable and look forward to...

First time we went here I was wow’d. We ordered the the Nicos Original which is vegetarian. The bread was delicious, and the buffalo mozzarella was massive and really made the sandwich hardy. The pesto flavour with tomato really topped it off - perfect 👌🏾Only reason for the missing star was that we ordered strong flat whites but they were single shots.

Update: went again and unfortunately second trip here was not near as good 🙁 no flavour in the mozzarella sandwich - seemed they skimped on the pesto. The meatball was great but small portion and the the iced coffee was watery & mainly ice. Actually went to try the buffalo chicken Sanga but they sold out quick - should put a sign up/update Insta for people that wait the long...
