Baba’s Deli

Home to a mighty New Orleans-style muffuletta sanga.Baba’s Deli Port MelbourneCafe$Fans of Baba’s Deli (now also in Ivanhoe) love to wax lyrical about the Mama’s Vodka: the mother of all chicken-schnitzel focaccias, doused in a creamy, tomatoey, vodka-spiked sauce that the team has to make more than 150 litres of every week.It deserves signature status. But there’s a new item that’s even better. Behold: the mighty New Orleans-style muffuletta, a sanga that’s giant, under $20 and relatively rare to find in Melbourne.It’s a stacks-on of mortadella and salami, medium-cut to ensure a meaty bite; cheddar and provolone cheese; a medley of chopped antipasti; lemony rocket; and confit-garlic aioli. Grab it to go or nab a sunny streetside stool outside.Must-order: The muffuletta sanga. If you like it hot, add a glug of house-made chilli oil that’s supercharged with Italian herbs and spices.Want to visit this venue?
