Enjoy the journey.

What makes oTTO’S coffee so aromatic, so spicy, so sweet?

A death-defying trip fraught with danger, that’s what.

Back in the days of the British Raj, the Malabar coffee bean sailed from India to Europe, navigating perilous oceans and treacherous coastlines. All the while, the salted winds, rolling seas and sticky humidity were working some monsoonal magic, deepening the Malabar bean into a seductive flavour unmatched by any other. And so the ritual of ‘monsooning’ the Malabar bean was born.

These days, all Malabar beans have laid their adventuring days to rest, maturing to rich flavour in a Monsooning nursery. Here, the Malabar is nurtured for a full 16 weeks, exposed to the same sultry sea air, but without the death-defying trip.

If aromatic, spicy and sweet sounds like your kind of thing, then Otto’s Monsooned Malabar Coffee is an adventure you want to get on!

It’s little surprise that Townsville’s purveyor of all things baked and delicious also makes great pies. And the pies at Otto’s truly are made of something special. It’s a secret recipe, tried and tested. Perhaps the secret is in the freshness, perhaps it’s in the love. Not all pies are created equal, and the Otto’s range is available in an array of superb flavours, with their classic traditional rendition voted in by the hungry hoards as Townsville’s Best Pie for two years running.

Otto’s staff trek all through North Queensland to source the best produce, forging solid relationships and communicating directly with the farmers.

This means you will always know where your food comes from, as Otto’s always offers clear transparency when it comes to where every last item of their produce has been sourced.

It’s a more wholesome picture without warehouses, industrial fridges and other variables that inevitably reduce the freshness of your produce. In most cases, produce on sale at Otto’s is picked the day before reaching the store. And by eliminating the middle-man, costs stay down, local farmers are rewarded and your table boasts the highest quality produce on offer in all of the region.

Slow and Steady...

Now you’re smokin’.

Have you gone hog-wild about Texan barbeque? If you have, then we can’t say we blame you. otto’s are proud to have paved the way to a smokin’ success in the ‘Ville, with their prized offset barbeque smoker - The Smokin’ Rocket.

There’s nothing quite like slow cooked meat prepared authentically in a barbeque smoker. The aroma alone is enough to whip up an insatiable appetite.

At Otto’s, one of their most prized possesions is The Smokin’ Rocket, one of the best offset barbeque smokers on the market. It gets a fair work out, too. They use the Rocket to prepare some of their most popular menu items. Their beef brisket rolls, the smoked chicken for their bretzel subs and in-house smoked meats for the delicatessen are all products of The Smokin’ Rocket.

It’s food so good that the Otto’s crew like to take it on the road, with The Smokin’ Rocket barbeque team popping up at all manner of Townsville events to serve up the best low n’ slow around.

They even cater for all events, delivering the full smokehouse Texan barbeque menu with all the fixin’s and no fuss.

They’re also happy to share their tricks of the trade too, with a large range of spices, rubs, sauces and condiments and expert advice on how to use them.

Season’s Eatings

the most wonderful time of year Each year, Otto stacks his larders with the type of fare you would have only dreamed of as a whippersnapper, upon earning your golden ticket to Santa’s factory. We’re talking spit roasts, whole hams on the bone, made-for-you hampers, the most beautiful, fresh and local stone fruit and crowning-glory ginger bread houses. Yuuuummy! With a larder like this, you won’t be surprised to learn that Santa Claus has cancelled his gift order with the elves this year, requesting his stocking is filled with Otto’s goods instead. Who can blame him really?

Christmas fare. Otto’s style. Make it your own this Christmas.

Come on, Aussie australia day feasting Australia Day! It’s the day we celebrate this great nation of ours the best way we know how - and that’s with food.

But not just any food. We’re talking the best in Aussie lamb, award-winning meat pies and sausage rolls, artisan damper (smothered in golden syrup), snags, the best sauces and so, so much more. We should also mention their lamingtons are to die for. The point is, our national day deserves the best, and so do you. So do yourself a favour and make this Aussie Day the best yet with the right fare and the best meat around - all available at Otto’s.

If we had our way, every weekend would be a special occasion, furnishing long weekends and reasons to celebrate with an abundance of delicious food and celebrations. Alas, it’s simply not to be - but it’s okay, because Otto’s pulls out all the stops for each and every seasonal celebration that pops up on our calendar throughout the year. From Christmas cheer to Oktoberfest shenanigans (and everything in between), Otto’s offers an event or a product (or both) to high-five the occasion. There is no such thing as a gap in the culinary calendar for those who love food, thanks to Otto’s Market.

Easter Feaster all the treats and trimmings If you’re looking for crazy-delicious treats this Easter, there aren’t really any points for guessing where we will tell you to go to find them. The long Easter weekend is a time for celebration - putting work to the side (for four whole days) and, most importantly, eating. With an abundance of sweet treats to indulge in (think giant Easter eggs, traditional candy eggs, truffles, hot cross buns, beautiful seafood and everything in between), prepare for a whole lot of yum from Otto’s. Trust us, you will never see or taste anything quite like the Easter treats available here.

Can you feel your belts loosening already? Hop to it!

Mum (and Dad)’s the Word show them you appreciate them Ok, we all know that you are totally the favourite child without a doubt - but if you really want to lock that status in stone, then you need to bring your A-Game when it comes to spoiling the parentals each year. Let’s face it, gifting on Mother’s and Father’s Day (respectively) can get really, really hard.

But we all have to eat, and your olds are no different. Your parents are pretty awesome, so love them back with a gift from Otto’s huge variety of hampers, gifts and even events (think exclusive and delicious High Tea with Mum and Grandma). If your parents love fine foods, then Otto’s is where you need to go for the gift-giving power that will forever crown you ‘the golden child’!

Prost!

Traditional oktoberfest fun and fare Oktoberfest has grown from a local German festival to a worldwide celebration of bratwurst, pretzels, beer and all things Bavarian. That makes it a brilliant excuse for Otto’s to deliver and stock a huge range of mouthwatering meals and condiments during this time of year. You can sample a German Hotdog (starring trditional bratwurst, hand-made in house by the Otto’s Meat Market) or try the Otto’s Signature Bavarian Pretzel amazing on its own or with fresh unsalted cured butter (and available all year round). During October, Otto’s also highlights their specialty smallgoods and imported range - more mustards, sauerkraut and beer sticks than you can poke a lederhosen at.
