Visit websiteAbout Dante's Deli
Tucked off Jetty Road, Dante’s Deli builds hefty, golden toasties pressed between thick slabs of buttery sourdough. Adelaide sandwich devotees head down the laneway for serious handhelds—whether that is the thinly sliced, peppered pastrami spiked with hot honey and crunchy pickles or an unctuous tuna melt. Seating is sparse, limited to a pocket-sized courtyard and porch benches, but the beach is only a two-minute stroll away. Paper-wrapped parcels hold their heat well on the short walk down toward the sand, complete with a cup of cold brew or fresh-squeezed orange juice.
- Pastrami and hot honey toastie: Piled high on toasted sourdough with salty cured beef, crunchy pickles, and hot honey.
- Beachside laneway takeout: A tucked-away laneway spot with porch benches just two minutes from the Glenelg shoreline.

Why Dante's Deli Stands Out
Why Glenelg locals and visitors choose Dante's Deli for their toastie fix
Decadent, Generously Filled Deli Melts
Thickly layered meats, house pickles, and melting cheeses are served between golden slices of toasted sourdough.
There Pastrami Toastie with hot honey was out of this World.
Kieran Ahern Signature Heat and Flavor Infusions
Savory toasted melts like the pastrami and sopressa pair robust fillings with a spicy, sweet drizzle of chili honey.
Fantastic filling sandwiches, highly recommend the sopressa (and add chilli honey!!).
Caitlyn G Portable Beachfront Takeaway
Located just moments from Glenelg Beach, the hearty sandwiches stay piping hot for a scenic seaside lunch.
we walked to the beach and enjoyed the food( it was still hot when we settled down and ate it!)
Kuo Simona Hidden Laneway Destination
Tucked away off the main Jetty Road strip, the deli provides a peaceful retreat just steps from the bustle.
This is a real lil Jem tucked away in the side streets of Jetty Rd Glenelg SA.
Charlie Wallace Charming Courtyard Atmosphere
A cozy courtyard and porch setup creates a charming, sunny nook for catching a quick morning bite.
The little courtyard was super cute to sit in.
tania drummond High-Energy, Welcoming Hospitality
An upbeat team and vibrant music establish a welcoming, high-energy environment from the moment you arrive.
This isn’t just the best Sando in SA, it’s an experience, the team dancing and chilling, the playlist ripping with 90’s tunes, smiles and 5 star service.

Before you head over
Practical advice on timing, ordering, and seating for your visit to Dante's Deli.
Order Ahead to Avoid Sell-Outs
Popular items sell out quickly during peak service. Order ahead online to secure your preferred toastie and skip the line.
Head to the Beach for Seating
Seating is restricted to a small porch and laneway courtyard. Walk a few minutes to Glenelg beach to enjoy your hot toastie by the water.
Expect a Wait During Rush Hours
Sandwiches are made fresh to order and the deli gets busy. Factor in a 15-to-25 minute wait time, especially during peak lunch hours.
