MELBOURNE | FOC is a new focaccia spot from the team behind (and in the original location of) popular CDB sandwich shop Sloppy Joe’s Deli. I recently visited to grab some shots for What’s On Melbourne and find out more
Focaccia is having it time in the sunlight at the moment in Melbourne. Following a similar blueprint to Sloppy Joe’s, FOC is all about classic focaccia fillings, along with options inspired by Melbourne’s globally diverse dining scene.
The menu has been developed by chef Adrian Li, who you might know from La Madonna, Rina’s and his appearances on Masterchef. It includes things like the ‘Rare Beef’ – sliced roast beef, salsa verde, pickled onion, and horseradish mayo; ‘Mortadella’ – Stracciatella, mortadella, and pickled green aoili; and ‘Green Beans’. The latter is a vegetarian option that’s proving very popular. It’s filled with garlic green beans, aioli, whipped ricotta, roasted peppers, rocket, and harissa.
If you want something sweet, there’s a selection of doughnuts delivered fresh each day by Peck’s Road. To drink, it’s top notch coffee, along with rotating specials like coconut matcha lattes, citrus cream brews, and frappes.
