Best Sandwiches on the Gold Coast

There’s something inherently satisfying about a really great sandwich, the crunch of fresh bread, the melt of cheese and the perfect balance of fillings. So in the name of research (and lunch), we cruised around to some of the Gold Coast’s best sandwich spots in the stylish and smooth Lexus RX - because if you're going to sandwich-hop, you might as well do it in style. From classic deli stacks to tasty toasties, here’s where to find 10 of the best sandwiches on the coast, in our humble opinion. 

Kicking this list off with the ultimate comfort food and winter treat - a golden, gooey four cheese toastie paired with a side of rich tomato soup. Cheese Me Baby knows how to do nostalgia right, and this one is melty perfection in every bite.

Tarte Bakery's take on the classic chicken sandwich is anything but ordinary. Packed with poached free range chicken, miso mayo, pickled cucumber, crispy chicken skin, watercress on soft-yet-crusty sourdough. It’s hearty, wholesome, and hits all the right notes.

A beachside twist on a French bistro classic. Tarte Beach House packs in juicy steak, crispy fries, and peppery mayo on a fresh baguette to create the perfect Steak & Frites in sandwich form.

Aptly named the Janus Delight, this packed sando from Janus Deli features mortadella, leg ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, kiwi yoghurt dressing, mayo on two slabs of tasty turkish bread.

Proof that vegetarian options can be anything but boring. The MC’s Sandwich House best seller, the salad sanga layers up lettuce, tomato, carrot, beetroot, alfalfa, red onion, cheddar and house vegan sauce between two slices of soft white. Add roast chicken or ham off the bone for a little extra protein.

Craving something a little more indulgent? The Junior’s Deli Philly Cheesesteak is the answer - packed with thin-sliced grass-fed beef, caramelised onion, roasted bell peppers, American cheddar, provolone, ranch and plenty of gooey cheese on a soft baguette.

This isn’t your average sandwich, it’s art. Doughed uses their pillowy house focaccia to cradle layers of mortadella, salami, rocket with balsamic glaze, semi-dried tomatoes, green pesto and a drizzle of honey. It’s sweet, salty, soft and crunchy all at once.

Decadence in a bun. Joe’s Deli serves up buttery lobster with fresh herbs and citrus mayo in a soft roll. It’s light, luxurious, and famous for a reason. 

A coastal classic done right. The Scott’s Luncheonette fish sandwich is all about crisp, golden fillets, tangy pickles, shredded lettuce and a zesty house-made tartare, all tucked into a soft bun.

This Tugun gem serves up a sandwich that feels like a Roman holiday in every bite. The Italian is loaded with cured meats, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, oregano, pickles, provolone and zingy ranch.

So there you have it, 10 of the Gold Coast’s best sandwiches, that are all worth the drive. Speaking of the drive, the Lexus RX made our sandwich tasting adventure even better, with its sleek design, luxe interior and smooth drive, it’s the perfect ride for food lovers who like a little extra comfort between stops.
