Fresh Chilli Deli — St Albans, Melbourne

A St Albans deli built around bold, fresh contrast

Fresh Chilli Deli specialises in the meeting point between Vietnamese charcuterie and a crisp French-style baguette. House pâté, cold cuts or flame-grilled meats are balanced with pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, coriander, onion and the fresh chilli promised by the name.

What to order

Traditional pork is the most revealing first order because it highlights the deli’s pâté and charcuterie. Choose a flame-grilled meat when you want something warmer and smokier. Ask for chilli on the side if you want to judge the other flavours before adding heat.

Good to know

The Alfrieda Street shop sits close to St Albans station and is a useful anchor for exploring the surrounding Vietnamese food precinct. It can be paired with Sunshine on the same rail corridor. Current menus, prices and hours can change, so check the business directly before travelling.
