Serving fresh sandwiches and cheesy toasties in an industrial-style space.
When Hector’s Deli hit Richmond in 2017, it signalled a seismic shift in the sandwich scene. The team’s fine-dining chops didn’t mean flourishes that were fancy for fancy’s sake; rather, souped-up versions of staples we already knew and loved.
Years later it’s less novel, but it still prevails. And it’s those foundations that led to Hector’s substantially fleshing out its menu, expanding to South Melbourne, Fitzroy, the CBD and a bakery in Richmond, and becoming what many Melburnians (and out-of-towners) consider the city’s No.1 sandwich shop.
The Fitzroy outpost has an industrial feel with stainless-steel fittings and a red-brick warehouse-style facade. On the menu you’ll find all the Hector’s classics including fresh salad sandwiches and cheesy toasties, plus coffee by Axil Coffee Roasters.
