The Thousands

Dinner at a deli? Are you kidding? The idea of going out for dinner at a deli is for twentysomething share house inhabitants who are either too lazy to cook or don’t know how to cook and don’t know how to try. West of the CBD, however, it’s common place, for over in Thebarton sits The Deli – a café type joint that’s much cooler than the old salami and brie.

While the word ‘deli’ makes it hard not to fear a stale sausage roll for main course and a Bubble o’ Bill for desert, at this Deli they won’t sell you anything like that. No stale meat pies with a sachet of sauce here, this place will do you a delicious burger or vego pizza. So what if you can’t stop off there on your way home to pick up milk. Who needs just milk when you can have berry smoothies?

What also really sets this Deli apart from your standard snack bar is the set up, cosy warm retro glow with walls featuring amazing local art and a nice little outdoor space.

So if the thought of stuffing your face with a sausage roll makes your stomach churn, it’s time to quit ruling out deli food – those days are over.
