A1 Canteen

This Canteen is well positioned and serves fantastic sandwiches. We were well greeted and seated by staff. The menu was diverse and interesting and their coffee did not disappoint either. We ordered the Muffuletta which tasted fresh like a deli, and the a lamb shoulder sandwich was the special which was tender and well seasoned. The open kitchen plan and the modern decor makes this the perfect place for that power lunch or meeting.

Stunning food and impeccable service delivered by Amy last night. I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews before visiting. I had a few moments where I had to close my eyes and just smile. Delicious food. The anchovy toast was divine. Had blood cakes and stracciatella as well. Mind blown with the mushroom caramel sauce. Highly recommend this place.

I like the sandwiches here, very tasty and pretty to look at! Highly recommended if you are after something different to try in this part of town. The service was friendly with nice atmosphere. It might get busy, so if you could, book in advance for larger groups. You can take away the sandwiches but be aware that you most likely will need cutlery to eat them.

Piccolo to start with, it was a great coffee. I ordered barramundi with eggplant purée and for main, you can choose 2 side salad on the menu. So basically this is like salad bowl/plate with extra protein, in this case I choose barramundi.( you can choose lamb and other stuff from the menu) Then, barramundi was cooked perfectly, crispy skins, well seasoned. Cauliflower salad was great! 10% surcharge on Sunday and public holiday.

Happened to walk in to the soft launch of A1 Canteen. Nice open relaxed but classy atmosphere. Service staff were attentive, though understandably for a first day, there was slight hesitations in answering questions on their part. We had the curried scramble eggs (breakfast menu before 11.30am) and the lamb shoulder with choice of two salads (from 11.30am). Both were delicious and satisfying. Also had a coffee which was ok. Green juice was nice but unfortunately not freshly prepared (bottled Nectar brand) which would have upped the experience. There was an unexpected 50% discount as part of the soft launch which made it really superb value.
