Hector's Deli - Review - Richmond - Melbourne - The Infatuation

"There’s no skimping on the sandwiches at Hector’s. Not on size. Not on butter. Not on cheese or any other filling, whether you’ve got your eye on the fried chook, the tuna melt, or the ham-cheese-and-tomato, the Aussie school lunchbox classic reimagined here with mortadella and provolone. Doughnuts come maple-glazed or sugar-dusted and sell out by 12pm. Hector’s isn’t technically a deli—the menu is limited to sandwiches, sweets, and coffee—but everything is made fresh. The original Hector’s occupies an old corner store in Richmond and while it’s spawned many imitators, the only other real-deal locations are in South Melbourne, Fitzroy and the city." - Ellen Fraser

The 33 Best Restaurants In Melbourne 2023

"There’s no skimping at Hector’s. Not on sandwich size. Not on butter. Not on cheese or any really any other filling, whether you’ve ordered the tuna melt on rye or the fried-eggplant-and-stracciatella number. The corner shop is located in a residential street in Richmond and there’s a South Melbourne offshoot, too, and while Hector’s isn’t technically a deli, the “sangas” are always made fresh. Doughnuts are a new addition and come filled with interesting combos like whipped chèvre and hot honey, or sweet-sour plum jam." - ellen fraser

The 38 Essential Melbourne Restaurants

"Sandwich shops have been springing up like mushrooms around the city since the beginning of the pandemic, but Hector’s Deli predates the trend. The shop focuses on improving classics rather than inventing new flavor combinations. You’ll find a solid chicken sandwich, for example, consisting of golden schnitzel lathered in tarragon butter, lettuce, and pickle mayo, all overflowing out of a potato bun. Check out the sweets menu for donuts and apple fritters too. The original location is in a residential part of Richmond, and there are two more shops in South Melbourne and Fitzroy." - Audrey Bourget, Sharlee Gibb

I recently visited Hector's Deli at 1/94 Buckingham Street in Richmond and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying meal. I ordered the rare beef sandwich, which featured tender slices of rare roast beef complemented by horseradish mayonnaise, parsley pesto, and pickled onions, all nestled between perfectly toasted bread. The combination of flavors was exceptional, creating a harmonious balance that delighted my taste buds. To accompany the sandwich, I chose the small potato salad. It really was a tiny amount for $2.50 so not recommended in the future. Despite its modest size, it was packed with flavor and so delicious that I finished it in just two bites.

The toasted sandwiches here live up to the hype. I ordered the beef and pickle toasted sandwich, which was incredibly flavourful and had a generous filling. Expect a golden, crispy and crunchy outside, with a juicy and filling center. Arrived at around 9am on a Friday (no queue) and only waited around 15 minutes for my order. The service was also very welcoming and efficient, and I saw many locals come and go with both their kids and dogs to grab a coffee and a sandwich. It was heartwarming to see how the staff would say hi to the regulars and ask about their day. Located in a cosy suburban area in Richmond, the people who came by were also incredibly friendly. Would highly recommend and come again to try their other sandwiches.

Absolutely loved it! I got the fresh salami with hot honey, and it didn't disappoint. It's not cheap but I'd still buy it again. I also got a glazed donut and chocolate chip cookie. All were amazing.

I ordered the tuna melt and beef pickle at Hector’s Deli in Richmond. The tuna melt was warm with a balanced mix of tuna and melted cheese. The beef pickle was tangy and tender. Portion sizes were reasonable and the food was served quickly. The setting was simple and casual.

Great local sandwich shop. The service is fab, food is delicious but slightly overpriced and there’s limited seating. I do recommend the beef and pickle sandwich and mushie melt :)

Hector’s Deli take on a Rueben is the best. You’ll want to ask for the Beef and Pickles (with cheese and sauce) hot sandwich. It’s the perfect balance of beef brisket, mustard pickle spread, dill pickles and kraut on roasted light rye. Added cheese and sauce is a must (I’m not sure, but I think the sauce was the Hectic)! It has just the right amount of everything. It’s not too dry or sloppy/soggy aaaand my liver wasn’t crying out for help because it wasn’t a heavy/greasy toastie. Very flavourful but not over the top. Do yourself a favour and grab one. You won’t regret it ✌️

Great food. The toasted sandwiches are as good as all the great reviews have said. We arrived around just before 11am and managed to order the toasted sandwiches and the Fried chicken burger as well. The chicken was super juicy and tender.

Everything is delicious. I went twice and three times. There is waiting, but the menu I ordered comes out quickly and the staff is friendly even though there were busy. There is not enough places to eat outside, but you can enjoy it and you can park on the nearby street. try it!!

I had the Reuben. It was tasty. Toast was a bit too crunchy. I added Swiss chess when I got home as no Reuben on the menu just beef and pickle with sauerkraut. If you want a true Reuben order in the deli or call vs online order.
