Top 5 sandwiches in Roncesvalles in Toronto
Published June 6, 2025 at 4:53 pm
The neighbourhood of Roncesvalles in Toronto is big, bold, beautiful, and overflowing with sandwiches.
Colloquially known as the ‘Roncy Village’–likely for ease of pronunciation–the area is famous for holding a rich collection of culinary influences from across the city, as it runs down a vertical slice from Bloor St to Queen St.
Despite being spoiled for choice, we have narrowed down the top sandwich spots in Roncy.
Sunnyside Provisions
One of the many nooks that operates as a grocery/deli in the neighbourhood, Sunnyside Provisions, is the perfect place to swing by for picnic or dinner party supplies.
Parallel to its shelves of meats, cheeses, and wines is a dynamite sandwich counter slinging one of the best roast beef sandwiches in the city.
Slow-roasted beef, melty cheddar, greens, pickled onions, and horseradish mayo make this sando one of the neighbourhood’s best.
Gold Standard
It’s right there in the name.
This sandwich window, just off a residential street shrouded by vines and trees, is serving up what could be a contender for Toronto’s best breakfast sandwich.
The Gold Standard Sandwich is served between a fresh English Muffin and comes with creamy cheesy eggs, hot sauce, pickles, a rich aioli, and your choice of bacon or kale.
Whether rallying from a night out or getting an early start to your day, this breakfast sandwich is everything you could ever ask for.
The Meat Department
This butcher shop excels in providing sustainable farm-fresh meats to all of Roncesvalles has an incredible sandwich counter hidden at the back of the shop.
If you are ever in the area, pop in and ask for their pulled pork sandwich, this behemoth, excelling in quantity and quality, is served on a fresh hot roll and comes with savoury BBQ pulled pork and a heaping serving of fresh coleslaw.
Perfect for any carnivore, just ask for extra napkins.
Tutto Panino
Our newest contender, just on Sorauren Ave, Tutto Panino, opened last week to massive fanfare.
Built from the ground up to supply incredibly flavourful Italian sandwiches, this location is brimming with flavour and inspiration, but reader beware, as they often run out of sandwiches before the day is done due to local demand.
If you get the opportunity, however, grab the Bollito.
Served on fresh Italian bread, this sandwich is loaded with beef brisket, salsa verde, and chili aioli and is a testament to why this place sells out so fast.
Russell’s Butcher & Deli
Closing things out is the best cold sandwiches you can grab if you are ever on the go in Roncesvalles.
Another gem hidden inside a local grocery store — the Spicy Salami Stack at Russell’s Butcher & Deli.
Served between two incredibly fresh pieces of focaccia bread, this sando is loaded with hot salami, mayo with a kick, cheese, and shredded lettuce for texture.
While not a reinvention by any degree, this sandwich is one of the best in the city if you are craving something simply delicious.
