SWISS GOURMET DELI / WEST END DELI West End

Such an incredible and interesting place. The service from the moment we walked in the door was warm and welcoming, the young man (I assume the son of the owners) stepped us through how to order and after we decided on the ‘Tony’ and chips he offered us coffee. The sandwiches were packed with ingredients, truly making it an Italian style lunch. The baguette sandwich had strong Mediterranean flavours, rich with freshly made toppings. Would definitely recommend coming here and giving it a go.

Swiss Deli was a delightful find with its wide variety of options.

I had lunch there, and was impressed by the extensive choices available for my vegetarian friend, as well as the generous portions.

Located in a trendy corner of West End, it offers a casual atmosphere perfect for a quick visit. Whether you're grabbing takeaway from the deli, or enjoying breakfast or lunch al fresco, both options come highly recommended.

I also found the prices to be quite reasonable, averaging around $20 for a meal with a drink.

We popped in at 1:30 on a Thursday. There were folks inside the shop, but the staff were very friendly and efficient. We were served quickly.

On offer was a diverse range of the most amazing delicatessen delights. Olives, cured meats, pastries, meals, desserts, canned goods, coffee supplies, plastic Virgin Mary statues that I suspect glow in the dark… Here was an amazing collection of wares.

We bought Portuguese tarts and some other sweets, but will be back for the savoury delights.

Outside was some great places to sit to enjoy the meals on offer.

A superb place to shop for any meal.

Can’t believe I haven’t been here before. I’ve always noticed this place but never thought I’d try it until today. No regrets, and probably won’t be my last time either. Upon entering you’re spoiled for choice. I ended up sticking with my streak of Reubens and boy was I impressed.

As soon as I picked up the paper wrapped baby reuben I could feel the heft of it in the palm of my hand and could hear it crying to be eaten. As soon as I opened it up I was greeted by a lovely head of sauerkraut, then when I hit it from the back those those lovely corned beef lips waiting to be eaten. Thinly sliced and full of flavour, obviously the star of the show with the supplementary sauce and odd pickle. The cherry on top was that it was $12. I could cry because I know my wallet won’t have to. Staff were friendly and a delight as you would expect. Wrapped up with a nice treat of a Portuguese tart for lunch bringing the total damage to a mere $16.8 (inc cc fees). Its unique businesses like that need to stay open. Looking forward to the Tony and a custom sandwich in the coming future. Thank you!

Been here many times over the years & their special breakfast is always consistently good. They do two versions, one is vegetarian, the other with bacon & sausages. Comes with coffee or juice for around $13. Always serve their breakfast with fried onions... a rare commodity these days with breakfast, Produce is also usually free range & of good quality.

I have been going to Swiss Deli for many many years. The quality of the food and the service has always been top notch. It is my secret little place to have lunch by myself and watch Boundary Street go by although I usually run into people I know. My fav guilty pleasure is smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers on white bread with a cup of tea.

I have been known to drive an hour (or more) to specifically eat, and have a coffee here. Diamonds in the rough such as the Swiss Gourmet Deli are very few and far between. Service, value and authentic goods reminiscent of the old lands. Yummmm, I feel like going for a drive now.

Best deli and cafe in Brisbane!

I've had the lasagne and spaghetti Bolognese with side salad, both were excellent, home made and great value. They have an awesome selection of smallgoods and a stocked sandwich bar which is hard to find nowadays. The Italian Hoagie was awesome, done with oil and vinegar as well as what the Americans would call banana peppers. The Reuben, is loaded with their home made corn beef and on fresh rye, it's legit! For me though, The Tony is their masterpiece. Prosciutto, eggplant, camembert and a fig jam that really brings it together as well as pickled onions. It's a ridiculously tasty sandwich. Really friendly service too and it's obvious that they care about the food they prepare. Must try if you're a local or visiting :)

Amazing food and coffee! I went there today and was pleasantly surprised with their Rueben sandwich. This is definitely the most delicious sandwich I have ever eaten in my 21 years of being alive. Great value and taste for their prices! Staff are really nice too 💓

If anybody wants exceptional fresh food then I recommend you go to this delicatessen. Wonderful friendly service very exciting delicatessen and pleasant enough to eat at their small tables. I will certainly be eating there again whenever I am at West End

very yummy deli. really great sandwiches and kind staff. the ingredients are very fresh and delicious. good coffee ☕ and the best Portuguese tarts in the city 😀

Wow. now you no longer have to Travel south to Lygon Street in Saint Kilda Melbourne to find a quality Deli and cake shop that serves home-made cakes the way mamma used to make them.

Welcome to Brisbane’s hidden Gem.

They even serve home cooked Breakfast and the coffee is really nice. (I had a long black with Eggs Benedict and Salmon).

I have a feeling this will become our favourite place.

Such divine fresh, well priced food, served with a super smile!

What a great little spot. First time there yesterday and had a beautiful coffee and lunch. Prosciutto and Swiss cheese roll - unreal. Thanks!

Came in for a mystery picnic pick up, and was not disappointed. Amazing service and food. Will definitely be back

I love this place! Incredible coffee and pastries, and great lunch deals. I highly recommend.

Great breaky for just $13.95 includes juice or coffee.

Pls have brf ! 7:30-10:00 for weekdays. The first one oh the list (make the eggs scrambled.) was the best🤓 yum

Love the old school vibes of this place. Swiss deli have become our local coffee shop - we visit these guys weekly. Awesome coffee + food, the staff are lovely and extremely accommodating. It also feels great to support a small business that puts so much heart and soul into their establishment. Thanks guys!

This place is an institution in West End. I'd never heard of a Rueben sandwich until I came here - and now I'm addicted. All of their sandwiches are delicious. The coffee is also 10/10. Plenty of good pastries too. The staff always to happy to see you. If you haven't been here then you haven't really been to West End.
