john montagu

order the super rich and super refresh drinks. both are great! a simple b&e and 12 hrs beef cheeks. nice food and friendly service! a to-go place!

drove out here specifically for the beef cheek sandwich, so was devastated it was not available. majorly peeved, more at myself for not calling up - but who knew they wouldn't have their own signature sandwich on. so ordered the chicken, positive i'd be disappointed, but it was prob one of the tastiest sandwiches i've had. definitely returning for the beef cheeks! the coffee is pretty good too. gabriel beans.

up there with one of the best sandwiches i've ever had. the only reason for docking 0.5 is because of their lack of phone ordering in advance, which means when ordering 7 for the office needed to be done in person. i guess it allowed us to walk around for a bit before picking up! have had both the beef cheeks and wagyu - colleagues had the chicken and fish, with audible comments of "holy crap where did you get these sangas from?!" justifying their standing as one of the best sandwich shops around. by the way, they are quite large!

great brunch spot. be prepared to wait for table, but it's well worth it. there's a wide variety of dishes and they do a great coffee. all the dishes look gorgeous and taste 👌

named after the guy who allegedly invented the sandwich, john montagu aims to bring sexy back to this less famous food creation. ( psstt. but we all know the burger had humble beginnings as a sandwich ) located along a tiny street of vintage looking double storey shop houses just off hyde park, john montagu,  steals the hearts and stomachs of many local dwellers.  sandwiches, you say, i had to get my hands on those. for the coffee junkies, you're in good hands. beans hail from di gabriel with a full bodied, nutty and toffee aroma. my 3/4 skim latte ($3.50) hits the spot. looking for a quick bite, i turned to the modest maffra cheese, ham and sage toastie ($6). simplicity is luxury here and my breakfast comes in the form of thick crusty slabs of bread sandwiching a glorious amount of melted cheese, ham and aromatic sage. the bread is from mosman's st honore bakery, a sturdy raft that benefited from the generous spread of good ole' butter inside and out. coarse black pepper scattered thr

then, a certain cafe comes about that is so good you feel obliged to blog about it as soon as possible, while the experience is still rather fresh in your mind. that one such cafe is john montagu! and if you're curious about the name ... the coffee, according to the hubby, was good. he ordered a strong flat white as usual. the spirulina juice, errrr... i don't know why i refused to accept that when it comes to spirulina, no amount of juice can mask the pond-scum taste and texture. to be fair, this one does come quite close with its concoction of basil, yogurt and orange juice. but i'd still only recommend it for those who can tolerate the distinct spirulina taste. surprise surprise surprise... i ordered the dish simply called "salmon"! hahaha. i

spectacular outstanding .... spectacular
outstanding

nothing more to say

testy and good quality sandwiches. love the coffee here too!

i'm addicted to this place.  it does help that it's close to work but the cured salmon that they have with poached egg and cauliflower puree is out of this world.  i don't know what they do to it, but it's highly addictive.  i have to restrict myself to one visit a week!!! :)

amazing sandwiches

cute little cafe with delicious filling breakfast options (got the sausage egg on milk bun - egg was just the right amount of runny!); coffee was good and service was quick.

an enjoyable brunchtime. relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff. the food served were delicious and fresh, and taste just right (not too salty and sweet).

we had a late breakfast here on good friday. staff were lovely and attentive and timely. coffee was nice. salmon avo smash was fresh with nice big chunks of salmon. the burger and chips was fresh and tasty (they let you know the beef mince patty comes pink - i prefer more well done which was catered for with no issue). would happily return

had the beef cheeks and the vitamin b. the beef cheeks are good, they're yummy! portion's generous. i wouldn't order the same thing though if i come again- i want to try the other menu. but it was good! also tried the vitamin b for beverage- definitely a must try.

clean and warm, inviting staff and prompt service. beautiful crema on my long black - but horribly bitter to the core 😵. ordered the weeks 'it-menu-item' - black pudding eggs benedict - looked grouse, tasted like nothingness. added oodles of chipolte tabasco, pepper and salt to give it some.
dining partner also ordered the beef cheeks sandwich... good, but not great. she did however enjoy her coffee. probably won't return.
