Say Cheese is Footscray’s newest deli cafe specialising in subs and sangas. The Westie locals behind it have set up shop in a storefront inside Trocadero Arcade. Seek and ye shall find - and what a find! This is a great spot if you are hungry and happen to not have a hankering for bánh mì or phở. Here you’ll find a selection of top quality cured meats and vegan meat, cheeses, salads and sauces jammed between delicious sourdough rolls, made fresh to order.
