Right behind Circular Quay station (on the other side of the adjacent wall, actually), lies Quay Deli. Here, you will fulfill all your fresh deli meat needs, as well as your cold-salad needs (pasta, potato, Caesar, you name it), your pie/quiche needs, and your bread needs.
They also have other cold snacks, like salad wraps, lentil-patty wraps, and something called Turkish toast, which I haven't yet sampled, but I vow to.
The attendants are really friendly and lovely, especially the one who doesn't speak much English. He's adorable, and helpful, and absolutely does not let language barriers get in the way.
I tried their potato salad, with more than a little trepidation, because I usually detest all cold salads. I like my food piping hot, thankyou.
But their potato salad is scrumptious. I almost ordered another one, but decided at the last minute to reign in my inner pig.
Regretting that now. What I wouldn't do for some potato salad. read more
