Brooklyn Deli

Having lived in Austria, I was pleased to find the Deli. The people are friendly and the food is very good makes me feel I'm back in Austria! I recommend it.

An ok deli/bakery with Austrian theme.<br/ <br/ Presumably the fitout is Austrian mountain hut meets 1930s commercial interior but not entirely sure wood seems to figure quite a bit and red and white check uniforms.<br/ <br/ On Saturday the breads are primarily non Austrian which was disappointing. An organic sourdough, farmers loaf, spelt loaf, sunflower loaf, baguette and salzstengel. No pretzel or laugen bread, which is what we went for. <br/ <br/ Teas were from t2 and the only black tea was a caramel flavoured 'Melbourne breakfast tea ' which was a surprising deficiency.<br/ <br/ I ordered the Tiroler Groestl thinly sliced potatoes fried with speck, herbs and an overcooked egg. This was rather boring the potatoes being unrelieved by anything other than the dry egg. I ended up buying a tube of mustard from the deli and adding this which was an improvement. The best one of these I 've had was in Innsbruck where the meat and potato was in larger more rustic pieces and it came as well with a juicy roast tomato one of the most delicious dishes I 've had in the past few years.<br/ <br/ My partner had the Viennese breakfast ham, cheese, jam, soft boiled egg, and liptauer. This was crammed into such a small dish it was almost impossible to manoeuvre anything. <br/ <br/ Quite noisy interior.<br/ <br/ Delightful Czech waitress<br/ <br/ Few Austrian deli foods except for the mustard, vanilla sugar and cans of almdueller which from memory could be mimicked by half L&P and the rest ginger ale and soda water.<br/ <br/ Suggest adding at least one unflavoured black tea and increasing the Austrian component of the deli as well as bread section.

Super friendly services and great range of pastry choices

A great place to drop in for a relaxing coffee or something more substantial from the cabinets or menu. Our coffees were delish, as was the food we chose, which included a breakfast dish of poached eggs, tons of avocado mash and some tasty looking dark bread, and a simple ham and cheese toasted panini. The sweet treats are quite a bit different from what I’ve seen elsewhere, plus they have a variety of organic rye and spelt breads for sale too. The ‘deli’ section is very small, but it contains some fine Italian meats and cheeses, all of which are cut to order. The service is hospitable, and the decor is very pleasant, the highlight for me being the wood feature wall (see photos).

Unexpected pleasure to find Austrian German restaurant. Tiny but good deli. Good dining room, warm and pleasant with big windows. Food was nicely done and presented.
