The top 30 sandwiches in Toronto by neighbourhood

Sandwiches in Toronto display an astounding variety, offering everything from classic childhood favourites like grilled cheese and BLTs to those with more sophisticated ingredients and flavours.

Here are my picks for the top sandwiches in Toronto by neighbourhood.

Bloordale Village

Brock Sandwich is a local favourite for chicken piri piri on a bun, as well as shrimp and giant squid po'boys.

Castlefield Design District

Commisso Brothers is your 24-hour-a-day source for hot Italian veal sandwiches, as well as other Italian grocery products like pasta and fresh bread.

Chinatown

Banh Mi Nguyen Huong is the undisputed source for Vietnamese sandwiches in this neighbourhood, served on buns with a variety of meat and veggie fillings for cheap.

Danforth

El Charro is where to go if you want a massive Mexican sandwich such as the pambazo, made with bread dipped in spicy guajillo sauce and stuffed with chorizo, potatoes, green salsa and crema.

Dundas West

California Sandwiches has been a Toronto institution since 1967, especially this original location on Claremont. Don't leave here without ordering their famous veal sandwich.

Head to Completo for all manner of hot dogs, burgers and poutine loaded up Chilean-style with avocado, hot sauce, salsa, mayo and more.

Entertainment District

Illstyl3 Sammies is secretly where to get a bonafide Philly cheesesteak in Toronto, plus any other meaty sandwich your heart desires drizzled with a variety of sauces.

Etobicoke

Hot Italian sandwiches at SanRemo are okay, but the real star at this Etobicoke bakery is the giant slab sandwiches built on whole loaves layered with cold cuts and crispy fried onions.

Junction Triangle

TuckShop Kitchen is known for turning out some of the best BLTs, grilled cheeses and burgers, so make sure you pick one up for takeout the next time you're in the area.

King West

Tut's is making a name for the Egyptian sandwich in Toronto, with options like sausage, beef liver and cauliflower served on house bread with the option of garlic sauce.

Rustle & Still makes a great banh mi in an area known for Korean food. They make their own pâté and mayo and roast their own ham, and serve great coffee and Asian-inspired drinks as well.

Tucked away on College Street, PG Cluck's teeny weeny sandwich shop specializes in Nashville-style Hot Chicken creations. Their towering fried chicken is also a wonder.

Topol is this neighbourhood's destination for two-pound sandwiches that are as big as your head. Halal food never does anything by halves, so it makes sense that the sammies here are epic.

Queen West

They might be known for the some of the city's best cookies, but Le Gourmand's poached salmon, pancetta, roast beef and curry chicken served on fresh baguettes will have people visiting your desk wondering where you just came from.
