Lunch time!
So it's mid-day and you're in the mood for a sandwich. Where do you go? Here are some of my tried and trues:
Breen's Deli has been my long-time favorite for a good fresh turkey sandwich. Why not go whole hog and order it with dressing the cranberry mayo? Whoever thought to mix cranberry sauce with the mayo deserves an award! Breen's also has fabulous homemade soups and other standard sandwiches, such as club and egg salad. Find Breen's at 79 Gower St. downtown, 32 Portugal Cove Rd. and their newest location at 44 Elizabeth Ave. in the old Tim Horton's.
Mana European Bakery and Deli has more than excellent fresh-made bread (must try the rye). Service is a little off some days but the satisfaction of a good sandwich makes up for it: curry chicken, corned beef and pastrami. There's also veggie selections and specialty sandwiches such as the yummy sloppy joe. Try one today at 342 Freshwater Rd. or order online.
Buck Weavers has really good grilled sandwiches, though a little expensive. And you'll have to set foot in a mall to order one (Avalon or Village). There used to be a great Buck Weavers on Elizabeth Ave. but it's now replaced by Wedgewood Cafe. Haven't tried that one yet...
Michelle's Bakery also has great breads and salads. But you can also get a great sandwich made-to-order. They're very generous with their toppings so maybe 1/2 is just enough. 799 Water St.
Colemans may be a grocery store but they've long bee known for their homemade take-away food. And their sandwiches are no exception. Best part is you can also get a bowl of pea soup on the side.
Belbins is another grocery store where you can find great homemade sandwiches. Fresh baked bread and a good selection of deli stuffs. 85 Quidi Vidi Rd.
Auntie Crae's is a spot downtown where you can grab a banana, coffee, or a freshly-made sandwich. They have a good selection of deli meats and lots of cheeses to choose from. Also, great bean salad and hummus. 272 Water St.
The Sprout has a well-known and well-loved avocado sandwich called the bravacado. The chickpea burger is also good and a great alternative for non-meat-eating sandwich lovers. 364 Duckworth St.
