Smoked Wagyu Beef

It’s been a while since I last had Berta’s. I think the last time I went was when I’d pretty much run out of their menu to try lol. But while looking for somewhere to catch up with a friend, I was SUPER excited to discover they’d added a few new sandwiches since my last visit.

Now, with Berta’s still holding the title of my favourite sandwich spot in Sydney, expectations were already pretty high. And I’m happy to report that they did not disappoint. Not one bit.

Holy moly, this was SOOOOOOOO good.

The smoked wagyu beef was absolutely delicious. Super flavourful, with this beautiful smoky aroma, a little sweetness and an almost velvety, silky texture. Soooo good. Then there’s the XO mayo, creamy, rich and also a little sweet. And you know how I feel about a good sweet and salty sandwich combo. Right up my alley!

The pickled onions added a lovely sweet tang, while the peppery rocket helped cut through all that richness. And the bread! Proper good toasted Turkish bread, with a lovely crunch on the outside while still soft inside. You know how much I care about good bread, and this one absolutely delivered.

Everything just worked together beautifully. Smoky, sweet, salty, creamy, tangy, a little peppery. All my favourite things in one sandwich. I was a very happy boy 😂 Safe to say I’ll be making a few repeat visits in the coming weeks to work my way through the rest of their new sandwiches. And this is exactly why Berta’s is still my favourite.
