It’s been a helluva couple of years, and we’re so proud to see our local thriving through the pandemic with their take-home range.
We honestly don’t know what we would do without Pickle in the Middle on Unley Road! It’s just a short toddle from our office to their front window for coffee, fresh juice and protein balls, and they’re always serving up nutritious and delicious dishes that get us through those especially long work days.
Owners Luke and Carli are constantly finding ways to mix things up, so if you’re a long time fan of Pickle or considering your first visit, skedaddle over and check out what they’ve been up to.

Pickle at home
Guys, we’ve just uncovered a Pickle secret… because everything on the menu is made by the Pickle team, you won’t
find any bottled sauce recommendations here! Instead, if you fall in love with a salad dressing, their famous seed bread or chilli sauce, you can ask the team to buy some to take home — and they’ll say YES!
And when that’s still not enough, you can take any of the full range of pickled veggies home with you, too. “We’ll pickle just about anything. If there is a dish that needs some zing or a bit of colour, we’ll make some vibrant purple or yellow cauliflower and have it there for you
to try out in your own kitchen!”
Pickle with a twist
The holy grail is the Pickle menu, filled with fresh and seasonal produce. The dishes are always being tweaked, so every time you visit, you’re in for a treat. “We have staple menu items that our customers love, but we’ll change up the toppings based on what’s in season and tastes the best at the time — that way you know you’re always eating the highest quality ingredients,” says Luke.
Most of the menu has a gluten-free and vegan base, and you can add any extras to make it your own. The Pickle team invites you to get creative with it, but personally, we just add mountains of halloumi to everything. An all time favourite is the famous Pickle toastie with mustard zucchini pickles or their classic satay bowl.
“Every single item on our menu is made in-house, except the sourdough. Even our sweets, like brownies, bliss balls, and cake slices, are made by our team and you can enjoy them here or grab-and-go, too.”
Pop in for brekky or lunch at Pickle seven days a week, and make sure to give us a wave — chances are we’ll be there!
