Deli Fresco Bondi Junction

This deli is the real deal — fresh, interesting product and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

This is the real deli deal. If cheese is your weakness, don’t even glimpse in the refrigerated showcase that wraps this joint, or face certain cheesy torture. You could concoct the world’s best charcuterie and fromage plate from this joint. Just add vino. Come here on the weekend when they set up a table sampling gooey cheeses galore. If only it were kosher to BYO to Eastgate Shopping Centre, I’d happily set up shop myself and merrily eat my way through their tasty selection. If they’re not sampling cheese, their selling fresh Canoli… Golden crisp shells filled crammed end to end with custards and creams your hips will hate you for, but your tastebuds will treasure. Containers of fresh as it gets finely grated parmesan make the dinner ahead a little less labour intensive, and a lot more tasty; and dolmades, falafels, dips, pates, pork pies, olives galore… the deli works provide snacks for every occasion. Staff are always run off their feet, yet nevertheless, super patient… settling on just one cheese can be super hard.

Deli Fresco at Bondi Junction is a delicatessen that has a generous, salivating selection of cold meats, cheeses and antipasto. They’ve won numerous awards for their top quality gourmet food products and are friendly and helpful too. I was lucky enough to try one of their creamy, ricotta cannoli the other day that was on sale just outside their store at east gate shopping centre. They have a good selection of cheeses, including hard and soft cheeses, bries, raclette and daily specials too, the blue cheese on special the day I visited was $ 4. Their selection of olives also look fresh and more varied than your normal deli, Im looking forward at trying their anchovy filled olives on my next visit.
