New Farm Deli

My blogging begins today with a lovely, vibrant local gem. The New Farm Deli is a constantly bustling setup that may even be overwhelming to some. From the moment I walked in the door I knew this place tickled my fancy (potentially due to the wicked sweet treats in all directions) but more because of the wide range of lunch options and the beautiful Italian Deli.

I do have to admit I have a real soft spot for delicatessens - it's something about the fantastic international goodies and fun new items just waiting to be unearthed that stoke my inner foodie. But back to the good stuff - today I shared lunch with some family. The menu to select from is very extensive, as can be seen below, and ranges from gourmet pastas to just about any type of sandwich you have ever imagined served on a choice of ciabatta, focaccia or turkish breads.  

Between us we ordered the Lamb Burger and the special of the day Seafood Chowder. The burger was a minced lamb pattie served with fresh avo, green leaves, brie and some onion jam on a turkish bun. It was enjoyable and plentiful but definitely not the bees knees of sandwiches. The seafood chowder was very clean and fresh. Had an abundance of seafood and was quite tasty. Overall, the New Farm Deli was a great host to our luncheon and left us well satisfied and would definitely have a meal to satisfy any palate. We washed our meals down with a round of coffees which were a good temperature, perhaps very slightly burnt but otherwise very enjoyable.
