The Riverdale Perk

This Riverdale secret is a favourite among locals in the neighbourhood. The charming café is tucked away on a residential stretch of Logan Avenue, just south of Withrow Park.

Tung Hing Bakery

2
353 Broadview Ave, Toronto, ON M4M 2H1

Head to this Vietnamese bakery at Gerrard and Broadview for a less traditional (but equally delicious) sandwich option. Here the classic Bánh Mì subs are dressed with a special sauce, cilantro, picked turnip and carrot, and your choice of meat. Try the meaty ham, BBQ and sausage or the vegetable packed vegetarian sub made with vermicelli, tofu and shredded carrot.

Prohibition Gastrohouse

3
696 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4M 1G9

This sit-down gastropub turns out a decadent selection of gourmet sandwiches (made on house made bread) for lunch and dinner. The pulled pork grilled cheese gets a kick from a raspberry jalapeño compote while the indulgent surf and turf Philly cheesesteak features a whole lobster tail, rib eye steak and double cream brie. The hearty sandwiches are available in regular or large size — the oversized sandwiches are ideal for sharing. Visit during hooch hour (4 pm to 7 pm) to enjoy a cheap drink (or two!) with your meal.

Mad Dog Cafe

817 Gerrard St E, Toronto, ON M4M 1Y8

You’ll find top-notch coffee and sandwiches at this cozy little haven on a rather desolate stretch of Gerrard Street. Early-morning visitors love the breakfast sandwiches and bagels while the lunchtime crowd sinks their teeth into a wide variety of savoury grilled sandwiches served on organic multigrain sourdough from St. John’s Bakery. The pulled pork — which features slow-cooked pork shoulder slathered in BBQ sauce — is a customer favourite.
