When Hector’s hit Richmond in 2017, it signalled a seismic shift in the sandwich scene. The team’s fine-dining chops didn’t mean flourishes that were fancy for fancy’s sake; rather, souped-up versions of staples we already knew and loved. These days, that’s less novel, but Hector’s prevails. With many new locations and menu items, Hector’s is still what many Melburnians (and out-of-towners) consider the city’s No.1 sandwich shop.

Good to know: The breakfast muffins give Macca’s a considerable run for its money.
