Pastries in the AM, sandwiches at lunch – that’s what The Pantry Group (Daisies Cottesloe and The Other Side) director Sam Kaye wanted to create with Side Piece, a no-rules sandwich spot in Swanbourne. 

To do that he’s tapped Eliza McCambridge-Dax to create playful pastries like smoky, sweet bacon, maple and walnut scrolls; brioche with pandan custard and coconut crumble; potato danishes; and ham and cheese croissants layered with mustard bechamel.

Head chef Jason Goodorally steps in for sandwiches, including a Keralan fried chicken sandwich elevated with kasundi aioli and pickled onion; a spiced onion bhaji sandwich with fresh kachumber (a tangy South Asian salad); and a fish katsu sando with fukujinzuke pickles and tamarind tonkatsu sauce that’s tucked into pillowy shokupan.
