Rusty's Sandwich Parlour

Those clued into the Nicholson Street lunch hustle know exactly where to drop their cash. Rusty’s Sandwich Parlour. A masterclass in the art of the perfect *sanga*. Massive, unapologetically messy, and built on perfectly toasted, cloud-soft Turkish bread. The undisputed heavyweight champion? The Cubano. Slow-braised pork, sharp Swiss, pickles, and a lethal hit of mustard—sandwich purists routinely lose their minds over this flawless balance of fat and acid. Craving poultry? The crispy buttermilk chicken stacked with crunchy slaw and pickled jalapeños hits every texture note. Morning crowd chasers make a beeline for the breakfast sanga—think soft, folded omelette jolted awake by sweet-heat chilli jam. Excellent espresso pulls. Vibe is ultra-relaxed. Portions so hefty you’ll likely be taking half home for tomorrow's lunch. Just a heads-up—get in early. The good stuff sells out fast. Oh, and the gluten-free buns? Legitimately top-tier.
