THE LATEST

Cut Lunch Deli now offers catering – just in time for all those EOY celebrations. It’s got you covered with DIY prawn rolls and house-made 1000 island dressing; picnic platters with blobs of burrata; big old sandwich boxes; and more. Send the team an email to pre-order.

When former Quay pastry chef Libby Dunlop couldn’t find a solid sandwich option when she moved to the eastern suburbs, she decided to remedy the situation. Enter Cut Lunch Deli, a deli-style shop with sammies inspired by “modern Australian” flavours and seasonal produce.

Sandwich flavour combos draw on influences from Korea, Italy and beyond. The hits include a Korean-inspired sanga with fried mushroom, kimchi slaw and pickled cucumbers; and the Italian leaning Morty D with mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachio pesto. For brekkie, you might try this bacon, egg and cheese sanga we can’t stop thinking about. All options are sandwiched between bread (potato buns, l’ancienne rolls and focaccia) from Organic Bread Bar.

Besides sandwiches, there’s coffee by Wollongong roaster Abstract Coffee and a selection of sweets made daily by Dunlop, including her stellar burnt-butter choc-chip cookies. CLD also sells condiments by Aussie brands such as Oomami, Hotluck Club, Nice Pickles and Quinby’s.

The decor is bright and airy, with a curvaceous white-tiled countertop and splashes of bright sunny yellow throughout. Pull up a seat on either side of the bi-fold windows or, as Dunlop suggests, take the sandwiches to go for a picnic at nearby Clovelly Beach.
