April 7, 2011: Gertrude Street Grub - Piadina Accept Away

August 8, 2015: Sonido or Trippytaco. But Fatto a Mano equally good far away for a speedy trip.

Which is where Piadina Takeaway comes in. It's a fairly acre looking takeaway articulation (which I intend used to live a fish in addition to chip shop) - there's a span of plastic tables, lots of bare tiles, in addition to a full general undecorated vibe. Thankfully, the nutrient is great. They've got a pocket-sized brekkie menu, to a greater extent than or less sandwiches in addition to a alternative of one-half a dozen piadinas.

There are a few vegetarian options, of which I've sampled two: the roasted beetroot amongst carrot, rocket, dukkah in addition to tahini yoghurt ($9.50) in addition to the mushroom amongst tasty cheese in addition to thyme ($8.50). They're made fresh to social club (obviously the beetroots induce got been pre-roasted), amongst the flatbread getting to a greater extent than or less overnice crispy brownish bits on the grill, in addition to everything within warming upwardly deliciously.


The beetroot 1 was a roaring success - sweetness, spiciness in addition to yoghurty tang making for 1 of the best sandwich-style dishes I've had inward ages. The mushroom version wasn't quite equally good: the combo of grilled mushroom, melted cheese in addition to thyme is pretty fantastic, simply everything had gone a flake soggy past times the fourth dimension I was dorsum at my desk.

Still, they're streets ahead of the other local sandwiches - I'm non certain I'll become anywhere else for my desk-based lunches inward future. So don't live fooled past times the lack of a flashy fitout, this house does to a greater extent than or less of the best lunches on Gertrude Street (although our vegan in addition to coeliac readers volition create create I'm afraid).

Kudos to Brian at Fitzroyalty for putting me onto this place. Nobody else seems to induce got discovered it yet.
