Cut Lunch Deli

Cafe$

Late-night openings make this otherwise simple venue an exciting entrant in Sydney’s sanger scene. Four nights a week you can get natty wines and snacks, focaccias with cheese and cured meats, and an evening version of the best-selling schnitzel sandwich (featuring, among other things, shallot chilli jam). By day, it’s a relaxed cafe serving “normal”-sized sandwiches, excellent toasties, coffee and sodas.

Must order: The vegan miso eggplant is a highlight, plus the Morty D (mortadella, pistachio pesto, stracciatella, basil, guindilla).
