Pastrami

Yep, like I said last week, I’ll be back. And here I am again 😂 This time I had my eyes on their Pastrami, one of the hot sandwich options on their menu.

Guys, seriously. The meat here is UNMATCHED.

The pastrami was soooo flavourful, with this incredible smokiness that I just couldn’t get enough of. It’s not even piled ridiculously high or sliced super thin. The slices are a little thicker, with a slight chew to them, which I actually really enjoyed. Just such a satisfying texture, and the flavour is unreal.

And the bread! Oh my goodness. You know how much I care about bread, and Berta’s just gets it. Toasted until the outside is super crunchy, but still beautifully soft inside. That contrast is just SOOOO good.

The melted Emmental, sauerkraut, pickles and creamy Russian dressing all worked really nicely together too. Although if I had to nitpick, Berta’s can be a little generous with the sauce for my liking. It’s delicious, don’t get me wrong, just maybe 0.25 too much sauce for my personal preference lol. Such a tiny complaint.

And despite being quite a loaded sandwich, it wasn’t particularly messy either. Just a little greasy finger situation, which honestly, I don’t mind one bit.

Soooo satisfying. Every bite just made me happy. Seriously, when it comes to meat sandwiches, if I had to pick just one spot in Sydney, it would have to be Berta’s.
