Bon Jambon

By now, most Sydney sandwich lovers have probably heard the sad news—Small’s Deli is closing, with their last day of trade on 7 Sept. For anyone who knows me, or has ever asked where the best sandwich in Sydney is, my answer has always been Small’s Deli. So yeah, I’m pretty sad about this one. Despite being on a cut, there was no way I wasn’t going to get my hands on as many of their sandwiches as possible before the end.

My pick for this sunny Friday was the Bon Jambon. This was actually sandwich No. 009 on this account, though I noticed they’ve switched it up from baguette to panini—and honestly, I think that works even better. I also added their house pickles, which were spot on for cutting through the richness of that triple cream brie.

Compared to some of their other sandwiches, this one’s definitely on the simpler side flavour-wise. But that’s the beauty of it—just clean, balanced, and so well done. A proper reminder of why this spot has always been at the top for me.

A straight-up satisfying eat. And yeah, I’ll definitely be back for a few more before they close the doors.
