Sam's Deli — in Eastham, MA

About Sam's Deli Located in the Belmont Building at 805 Government Street, Sam's Deli was founded by Sam Bawlf in 1972 who was then a cabinet minister in the provincial government. In 1976, it was sold to Bruce and Barbara Housser who owned and operated it for 28 years. Under their guidance, Sam's Deli grew from a local sandwich shop to a Victoria landmark as the word of their tasty offerings spread amongst locals and visitors to Victoria. It is now often recommended not only for its central location, but also for its delicious menu of fresh-made, generous-portioned sandwiches and soups and easy atmosphere. In 2004, Rogers' Chocolates of Victoria purchased the deli - determined to uphold the fine standards that had made both Sam's Deli and Rogers' Chocolates famous Victoria establishments. In 2010, a former Rogers' Chocolates employee, Kate Phoenix, purchased the deli. Having been a fan of Sam's for over 25 years, Kate is keen to hold onto the traditions of fresh soups, handmade sandwiches and salads made from fine ingredients while developing the evening menu to include local, tasty bistro fare. Watch out for an expanded breakfast selection too including scottish oatmeal, stewed fruit, french toast, and muesli.
