District 28 Bar Bistro (http://district28barbistro.ca/)

Rashers (http://rashers.ca)
948 Queen St East
This one is for the Bacon Lovers out there, Rashers is more than just a sandwich shop. They use “the best cuts, cures, and flavours” to make your ideal sandwich. Taking from both their British and Canadian heritage- Rashers is a bacon and sandwich lovers paradise.
The menu features some great choices such as The Full Monty; British style bacon, fried egg, fried tomato & fried mushrooms on a bun with homemade brown sauce. As well as the Beer BLT; smoked strip bacon with romaine lettuce, fresh tomato & homemade beer mayo on a warm ciabatta. With sandwiches like these, it is definitely worth checking out.
