Are you looking for a new lunch spot in Parramatta? Do I have the place for you.
Newly opened Matty’s Sandwiches on George Street is a hop and a skip away from Parramatta station.
Serving up delicious gourmet sandwiches, along with salads and a selection of hot and cold beverages, this place is a must-try for your next weekday lunch.
I was lucky to meet with Matty’s Operations Manager, Fadi, to chat about the business and try some delectable sandwiches. Named for a family member, Matty’s aims to be the next happening lunch spot in Parramatta, and it certainly has the food to uphold this reputation.
Their thoughtful selection of meats, cheeses and fresh veggies results in some of the best gourmet sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Featured ingredients such as Prosciutto, Salami, Roasted Eggplant, Burrata and much more are the stars of the show at this Italian-inspired eatery. Each sandwich on the menu is named after an ingredient famous in that region of Italy, so you can be sure the team at Matty’s have put an enormous amount of love and care into their menu.
I had the privilege of trying not one, but two sandwiches from their Classic menu, and after one bite I was blown away.
The Etna, named after Mount Etna, features Prosciutto, Pancetta, Burrata, Pear, Honey and Rocket, on fresh Focaccia.
This sandwich was a perfect blend of sweet and salty, with a unique mixture of textures and flavours, resulting in a mouthwatering dish. The Rocket provided a hit of freshness, cutting the sweetness from the Honey. This, combined with the salty Prosciutto and the fruity twist of the Pear, feels like a cool breeze on a warm summer’s day – perfectly refreshing and nourishing to the soul.
The Genoa, named after the sixth largest Italian city, includes Salami, Hot Salami, Napoletana Sauce, Provolone, Kalamata Olives, Mozzerella, Olive Oil and Onion Jam.
This was a standout for me, as the flavours combined resembled a delicious pizza. Toasted on fresh Focaccia, the blend of flavours was a specacular dance in my mouth, striking all the right chords. This sandwich is filled with incredibly rich flavours, the onion jam the perfect ingredient to cut through the saltiness.
It’s clear the team at Matty’s are dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience with each and every bite, and the team’s genuine passion shines through in the menu. With all salads made fresh in house and all sandwiches made to order, there’s no compromise on quality or freshness at Matty’s.
