About Mordi Deli Cafe Panini Bar

Down a little side street just off the main strip in Mordialloc, this is a café and panini bar built around artisan focaccia. Frosso brings years of experience in hospitality, and the focus here is freshly made paninis, coffee and cakes in a relaxed spot near the beach.

The bread is what gets people talking. One local called it some of the best focaccia they'd had in Melbourne, with a proper crunch to the crust and a light, fluffy inside. It suits the fillings well, and one customer has mentioned the balance between bread and filling. The menu is a big one. Folks rave about the mortadella panini, the Bianca with buffalo mozzarella and pesto, and the schnitzel focaccia, which one person called the best they'd ever had. Vegetarian and vegan paninis are on offer too, and the vegan ones have won praise from the people who tried them.

Coffee is part of the draw, along with iced drinks like matcha and Biscoff lattes, and sweet things such as the chocolate volcano cake. We've heard the staff are friendly and quick to sort out a drink that isn't quite right, and the food has a name for being good value.

You can dine in at the bench seating or sit outside in the laneway area, which is a pleasant spot on a nice day. Takeaway and kerbside pickup are available, they do catering, and it's easy with kids in tow. They're closed early in the week, so check the hours before you head in.

One couple who know their Italian food well had a second visit that didn't live up to their first, so it's not flawless every time. Some have already planned to work through the rest of the menu.

For a panini lunch in Mordialloc, this one is worth a look.

Bread

“Mordi Deli Cafe Panini Bar is a family-run sandwich shop that has some of the best focaccia bread I've personally had in Melbourne. The bread alone deserves a mention. It has a beautiful crispy crust with a proper crunch when you bite into it, while the inside stays light and fluffy.”
