Malibu Sydney

Surry Hills office workers and midday wanderers know the drill for this laneway operation near Central Station. Tiny space. Zero nonsense. One absolute unit of a lunch. Owner Mark runs a tight ship—skip the smartphone photography and complicated modifications, just embrace the old-school sandwich craft. The undisputed move here is the legendary chicken schnitty or the towering Malibu Club. Think pillowy, light bread barely containing an unapologetic mountain of fresh, slice-to-order fillings. A regular size easily stretches into dinner, making it serious value. Unfussy, relentlessly generous, and arguably the most formidable sarnie in the postcode.
