EARL CANTEEN

500 Bourke St Melbourne
9600 1995




Earl canteen has reigned towards to top of the cheap eats in Melbourne since opening.  It was one of the first gourmet roll/wrap bars to establish itself in the cbd and continues to draw an impressive lunchtime crowd despite a plethora of similar concepts being rolled out nearby.


The space is small but bright, tucked away near Movida Aqui in an atrium off Bourke St.  A compact menu of 8 rolls is complemented by a number of pre-made salad and sandwich offerings.  The theme here has a gourmet trash tilt, with meatballs, fish fingers and pork belly all featuring.  

In deference to a childhood of I&G fish fingers, I chose the fish fingers roll. The fish fingers seems fresh, the batter was light, and the complements of cos lettuce, tartare and lemon made for clean flavours.
