RTB (Roastie Toastie Bros) in South Melbourne is a cafe specialising in toasted sandwiches, poke bowls, breakfast and pizza. It also sells wine and cocktails and is on the corner of Palmerston Crescent and Sandilands Street in South Melbourne. It’s very close to my office and I’ve been there a few times with colleagues to eat and have also picked up a takeaway from there as well.
Sometimes, after a long day at the office, all you want is a solid sandwich and a good drink to go with it. That classic combo—warm, melty comfort between bread and something chilled in hand—just hits the spot. And while grabbing a quick bite is easy enough, finding the perfect wine or cocktail to pair with it can feel like a puzzle you didn’t ask to solve. That’s where a spot such as parkplaceliquordeli.com comes in handy. With its curated selection and local charm, it takes the guesswork out of the pairing game.
Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty toastie and a bold red, or something lighter with a citrusy cocktail on the side, having a reliable corner store that does both makes all the difference. It’s that effortless mix of convenience and quality that turns an ordinary workday into something a bit more delicious.
This is a great place for people living or working nearby to grab a drink or a meal, and we really should head there for a beer after work one day.
RTB Swiss Mistress – Roast Beef Sourdough Sandwich
The first time I ordered for pickup, I had the Swiss Mistress and I ordered it for pickup on UberEats, I recall it was ready very quickly.
This was definitely more generous with the fillings than some similar places nearby.
Beer Battered Chips
Here I had the beer-battered chips with oregano, salt and parmesan cheese and a Smokey BBQ sauce on the side. It looks like my colleague Peter has the RTB Brekkie with bacon. The shadows to the left suggest we may have also had a sneaky beer.
My most recent visit was with my team on a morning when the elevators were broken and we couldn’t access our floor (fire escapes were locked from the stairwell) so we went there for coffee and food whilst we waited to gain access.
Chickie Pop Bites & Coffee
Since I was just buying food to kill the time, I ordered the Chickie Pop Bites and Coffee. I was slightly surprised they had this available at breakfast time. I’m not a big breakfast food eater, so wanted something more lunch-like. These were nice and so was the coffee!
More Sourdough Sandwiches
My colleagues Jan and Dhara each had The Pine Apple Express and the Cheese Me Up which both looked great.
Whilst we were there I took a few photos of the wine and cocktail bar areas.
