MOOD | Hot Salt Beef and Superfood Salads

The 11 Best Restaurants In Victoria

"Like nut butter protein balls for dessert, anything called a ‘superfood salad’ makes us suspicious. Not the ones at Mood though. On any given day this little sandwich shop and salad bar has an excellent spread of options. Choose the buckwheat base for a nutty hit and load it up with the crispy okra with harissa and parsley, and sticky, miso aubergine. The best option is the lunch tray—it’s a chunky salt beef reuben sandwich on rye bread with a choice of two salads. There are a couple of tables to sit in and quietly work through your mountain of salt beef, but really this is a casual takeaway spot. It's always worth the 10-minute walk from Victoria station." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
