What is it? Nico's serves up stellar made-to-order sandwiches to queues of people lining up outside its CBD, Brunswick East and Fitzroy stores most days.
Why we love it: Nico's have amped up the humble Cuban sandwich by adding not one, but two types of meat. Think layers of braised gochujang pork and deli ham with Nico’s original salad cream, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, mustard and lettuce, served between grilled, buttery slices of bread. The untoasted options will take you straight to sandwich heaven too, from the Italian-inspired Giardiniera to the veggie-loaded Fresh Salad number.
Time Out tip: Going meatless? Don't miss the vegan schnitzel sandwich, two country-style bread slices stuffed with vegan cheese, lettuce, salad cream, koji chimichurri and pickles.
