— The Signature —

Montreal Smoked Meat

$14.95

Hand-cut, piled high, served the only way it ought to be — on fresh rye with your choice of mustard. The same recipe, the same cure, the same sandwich we built our name on in 1959.

"Possibly the best smoked meat in Toronto." — MJ, Local Guide

— A Camden Street Institution —

Sixty-seven years.
One sandwich.

We opened our doors in 1959. The booths, the counter stools, the open kitchen you watch your breakfast cook on — they've all been here since the beginning. Toronto changed around us. We didn't.
