Ben Shewry's Guide to Great Sandwiches

Ben Shewry

Ben Shewry's Guide to Great Sandwiches Chef Ben Shewry, the mind behind Melbourne institution Attica, is drawn to places that are completely “dialled in.” Talking about sandwich shops leads him to Japan, where people dedicate their lives to repeating the same craft over and over until they become exceptional at it. That’s what connects his picks here: roast shops, schnitzel counters and steak sandwich spots focused on doing one thing properly — no funny business, no endless options, just deeply satisfying food made with total conviction.

Thai Ho, founder of MAMAS Dining Group, has built a reputation on bold, high-energy takes on Vietnamese food. But it all starts in Springvale. This is where the standards are set, shaped by community, tradition and generations of pride. From crispy bánh mì to slow-simmered broths and street-side iced coffee, this is his Springvale circuit.

Melbourne food writer and MasterChef Australia judge Sofia Levin tends to skip the obvious. Her South Melbourne picks lean under-the-radar. The kind of places that don’t shout, but deliver every time. Think unfussy, authentic and quietly excellent, with a mix of neighbourhood staples and spots worth knowing about before everyone else does.
