Bon

Sometimes all you want is something quick and easy for lunch. Just a simple sandwich is all you require. You left your lunchbox on the kitchen bench and you don’t have time to sit in a cafe and wait while more emails pile up in your inbox. So in comes Melbourne’s fast cafe food concept; Bon (previously Bon A Manger).

You are probably familiar with "Pret A Manger" in London serving what is basically "healthy fast food", as in pre-packaged sandwiches, salads and soups. Bon is Melbourne’s very own version.

Bon have ex-Longrain chef Mitchell Townrow in the kitchen and are using Dukes coffee beans. Sandwiches include favourites such as the super club and green Salad, but there are some more interesting options like the silverside or the chicken and mango wrap.

Ideal for sustenance on the run, you can also dine-in at the small polished concrete space on the corner of Hardware Lane and Little Bourke, with walls adorned by art from Metro Gallery. They also deliver.
