For a quick, reasonably priced lunch in Fitzroy, I don’t think you can beat Brunswick Street Alimentari (251 Brunswick St, Fitzroy). I could happily eat nearly anything on they serve up, but my favourites are the chicken schnitzel wraps and meatball wraps.
The chicken schnitzel wraps are pieces of pita bread wrapped around sliced pieces of schnitzel, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. While this which might not sound particularly special, thanks to the quality of individual components, the whole thing tastes amazing.
Equally delicious are the meatball wraps, which are a cross between a standard wrap and a piadina. The meatballs are nicely moist, and complemented by leafy greens, tomato, cheese, and a hit of lemon juice.
Although I rarely pass up the wraps, there’s are generally two or three salads to choose from, which look and taste fantastic.
The quality of the food is matched by the staff, who are some of the most helpful and genuinely friendly around.
I do wish they made better coffee, as I have yet to get a genuinely good one there. The only other negative is that they often sell out of the wraps, so get in by 1pm to be sure of getting one.
