Montys Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Sydney

Kurt has been telling me about this place for a long time. Despite being close to my work, it took me a long time to actually get there. I now regret taking so long, because it is so good and this could have been my regular a lot earlier!

Montys is a freshly made sandwich shop in Bondi Junction (opposite Eastgate shopping centre). Primary takeaway but there are a few tables if you’d like to eat in.

It’s a high quality, very busy and clearly popular, having been operating for ten years. You can order ahead online, or in store. There’s all day breakfasts, salads and of course, sandwiches. So many options had you can have them fresh or toasted.

I ordered the Veggie Reuben with Swiss cheese, tomato, marinated char grilled eggplant, slaw, sauerkraut, dill pickles and dijonnaise and I had it on fresh wholemeal bread. A great combination of ingredients and super tasty. Good value at only $10.95.

Service and hospitality was good. But food wasn’t. Got the veggie sandwich. Bread (wholemeal) was alright, but it was overloaded with mayo. The veggies were few and far in between (in very little quantities), very shrivelled and sad-looking

Went there to get a slick healthy sandwich, but got this mayo-loaded veggie-scant one. Would recommend the owners to reconsider the recipe of this sandwich - to maybe add more raw veggies or use a different salad mix or both. Wouldn’t mind paying a couple of extra $s if I could get a half-decent amount of veggies in my veggie sandwich. The tomato and all the rest of the veggies looked so bad. If I’m getting a veggie sandwich somewhere, I would want the look of the veggies to be fresh and appealing

They’ve got a great location and this place would easily be my daily go to, if only this sandwich...

I suspect Montys aims to be your go to place for a satisfying sandwich. It may once have had dreams of panzer-division-style expansion. But the sad truth is that it misses the mark like a slightly drunk dart player...close but...the place itself has all the charm of the besa blocks from which its constructed. The service friendly enough. The sandwich itself, billed as vegetarian pastrami is a gently charming cabbage sandwich. There's US constitution level work needed here, to elevate this to...
