The Best BLT in Toronto

The best BLT sandwiches in Toronto bring a powerful trifecta of ingredients together on bread for the quintessential sammie. Behold the trinity of bacon, lettuce and tomato in its classic form or in non-traditional versions at sandwich purveyors across the city. 

Here are the best BLT sandwiches in Toronto. 

3 - Stockyards Smokehouse and Larder

<p>Sub the lettuce for arugula and you have yourself a BAT from St. Clair West’s popular BBQ spot. It’s $13 for their assembly of house-smoked hickory bacon, arugula, fried green tomato and lemon aioli on sourdough bread.</p>
4 - Aunties and Uncles

<p>Lippincott’s 23-year-old brunch spot has all the staples, including a classic BLT served with aioli. Like most of their dishes, A&U’s sandwich comes with greens and their go-to home fries on the side.</p>
11 - Avenue Open Kitchen

<p>This decades-old diner does a hearty 6 oz BLT that reads more like a burger but who's really distinguishing between delicious and delicious. It’s $9.95 for their famous thick-cut peameal bacon on a kaiser with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Head to Camden Street for the old-school vibes.</p>
5 - Leslieville Pumps

<p>Get a taste of the meats being smoked at Toronto’s most famous gas station turned poutine-slinging BBQ spot and general store. Their Super BLT ($10.63) comes stacked with maple-glazed peameal bacon, romaine lettuce, seasoned hothouse tomatoes and garlic aioli.</p>
10 - Brock Sandwich

<p>Bloordale’s favourite purveyor of burgers, baguettes and sandwiches makes a Strip Bacon sandwich that includes a fried egg. Housemade bacon buddies up with charred tomato, lettuce and pickled mustard seed mayo for this BLT. </p>
6 - Black Camel

<p>Rosedale’s renowned sandwich spot ups the ante on every sammie, including the basic BLT. For $8.25 you’ll get a pesto mayo pancetta with arugula and roasted tomato. It comes with your pick of two sauces and the option to deck it out further with extra toppings.</p>
7 - Lazy Daisy's Cafe

<p>Cozy and homey is this Gerrard Street cafe’s specialty and the same applies to their list of daily sandwiches. Choose between sourdough or multigrain for your meal of Mennonite smoked bacon and mayo, tomato and greens. Add a free-run egg to make it a BELT. Either way, it’s $7.95.</p>
8 - Egg Club

<p>The breakfast sandwiches don’t get fluffier than at Yonge and Dundas’ house of eggs on shokupan. Their Japanese milk bread can hardly contain all this thick-cut bacon, tomato and lettuce, drizzled with housemade ketchup and Egg Club’s secret sauce for $7.40.</p>
9 - Brick Street Bakery

<p>Head to Leslieville or the original Distillery District bakery for a sandwich that’s only available on request. This BLT comes with the usual trio of ingredients on a piping Brick Street brioche bun and some sriracha mayo inside.</p>
