Whether you need a quick and easy lunch, a picnic food to-go, or a hearty dinner at a sit-down restaurant, there’s a sandwich place in Edmonton that can give that to you. These bites showcase the variety that can lie between two slices of bread, but are united in their cream-of-the-crop quality.

1. The Grick, from Farrow

“Fried Egg, Bacon, Rosemary Aioli, Smoked Cheddah, Tomato Jam, Arugula”

For under $10, Farrow serves up this delectable breakfast-inspired sandwich, along with 3 other seasonally-rotating sandwich flavours. With four locations around Edmonton, Farrow also does coffee, donuts, and catering.

2. Montreal Smoked Meat, from The Sandwich Project

“Montreal Smoked Meat piled high on multigrain bread, Romaine lettuce, red onion, thick pickles, Swiss and Mozzarella cheeses topped with our House Dijon mustard and Montreal Spice Sauce”

​Pick up the small size for $8.50 or large for $10.50, and get ready to experience smokiness, punchy acidity, and spice all in one tasty bite. The Sandwich Project is located in the south of Edmonton, near Pleasantview.

3. Bánh Mì Gà, from Van Loc

Shredded chicken and Vietnamese veggies +  sauce on French baguette

Discover the bright and fresh flavour of what many people call the best Bahn Mi shop in Edmonton. Start simple by ordering the Bahn Mi Ga (chicken) for $7.99, before trying out some of their other meat flavours and Vietnamese iced coffee. 

4. Crushed Chickpea, from Fifendekel

“Plant Based with a ‘mustardy’ kick”

Though they might be best known for their pies, Fifendekel makes a number of really great classic deli sandwiches. They also serve this plant-based saucy sandwich with crushed chickpeas that has a similar texture to tuna salad for $9.35. Give it a try if you’re vegetarian, or just not into deli meat!

5. The Creedence Cubano Revival, from River City Revival House

“Smoked Pulled Pork and Black Forest Ham served on ‘Vienna Bakery’ sourdough bread with swiss cheese, pickles, mustard BBQ sauce, and roasted garlic aioli”

This pub and events venue is located in Downtown Edmonton. Their food menu involves six savourable sandwiches, but people seem to love the pulled pork most. For $14, you sure get your money’s worth in terms of portion size. Just look at it!
