The New Standard for Lunch in Sydney CBD

For too long, lunch in Sydney CBD has been a compromise. A supermarket sandwich eaten at the desk, another uninspiring salad, or the same takeaway that's forgotten by the afternoon.

At Margot The Deli, we believe lunch should be the highlight of your working day. We've built our menu around the way people actually eat in the city—fresh, fast and full of flavour, without sacrificing quality. Every dish is prepared daily using carefully sourced ingredients and recipes inspired by the great delis, bakeries and rosticcerie of Italy.

Our Pizza alla Pala Romana has quickly become one of the deli's signature lunch choices. Light, crisp and baked fresh throughout the day, it's perfect by the slice for a quick lunch or shared with friends around the office. Alongside it, our Portuguese-style rotisserie chicken has become a favourite among regulars. Slow-roasted until golden and full of flavour, it's served with seasonal sides or tucked into fresh sandwiches that are generous, satisfying and unmistakably Mediterranean.

But no true Italian deli is complete without its rosticceria—the irresistible counter where generations of Italians have gathered for a quick bite, a warm snack or something delicious to take home. It's where everyday food becomes part of daily life.

From the streets of Puglia comes the Panzerotto, a golden pocket of dough filled with mozzarella and tomato before being baked until crisp outside and beautifully molten within. In Rome, the Supplì has been a beloved street food for generations, with saffron rice, slow-cooked tomato ragù and melting mozzarella at its centre. Further south in Sicily, the Arancini tell the story of an island shaped by centuries of Mediterranean influence, where perfectly crisp rice gives way to rich, comforting fillings.

These aren't simply snacks. They're recipes carried through generations, served in family-run rosticcerie where locals stop on their way home, meet friends over lunch or pick up dinner for the family. It's a tradition built on craftsmanship, simplicity and ingredients that speak for themselves.

Alongside these classics you'll find vibrant seasonal salads, fresh deli pots and lighter options prepared daily for those looking for a healthier lunch without compromising on flavour. Whether it's a freshly made salad, one of our signature deli bowls or something from the rosticceria, there's always a reason to come back tomorrow.

Located at 10 Barrack Street, just moments from Martin Place and Wynyard, Margot The Deli is quietly becoming part of Sydney CBD's daily lunch routine.

Because lunch shouldn't be something you squeeze into your day. It should be something you genuinely look forward to.
