I ended up ordering the #19 because it was a mix of pizza & a sub, it came with pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and green olives also I added chicken. Things I did like: the ingredients were fresh, the bread was soft, there were equal parts of toppings & meat. Things I didn't like so much: I thought the sandwich would be hot or toasted similar to a pizza, also it was a little dry needed either more marinara or ranch or something to make it less hard to swallow. I also ordered a blueberry danish & a lemon tart pastry. I ate the danish so fast I didn't even get to take a pic it was so good. However, I did not like the lemon tart the filling tasted like the grocery store canned pie filling.

So Olga's Deli has been on my list of places to try for some time now, as I heard it's highly underrated and those who know, know. However, they are closed on weekends, and only open until 2pm on weekdays. So it took me a while to finally make it there, but I did, while I was on staycation! I got 2 sandwiches to go for my husband and I, a Club Sandwich ($7.52) and a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich ($7.52). Both sandwiches are on a white roll, which was a bit denser and more substantial than a hoagie roll. I liked that the Club Sandwich had real chicken breast meat that was grilled, so it was nice and hot. The bacon was smokey and tasty. I got to choose my toppings, so I went with the conventional lettuce and tomatoes, but also got some cucumbers and spicy eggplant. And I got mustard instead of mayo. I got the sandwich pressed. The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich was made of deli roast beef, which was a bit disappointing, but unsurprisingly given the price point. It was fried on the grill with onions and bell peppers. The entire sandwich was toasted in the oven and the cheese got all melty, which I loved. I added lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and spicy eggplant to this sandwich too (yeah, I know, I'm weird. And was impressed that the lady making my sandwich didn't bat an eye at my toppings request, unlike the guy at Mr. Sub once upon a time who told me "that's weird" when I requested lettuce on a pizza sub, but I digress...). The lady was nice but I would have liked it if she wore gloves while preparing my sandwich. One of the other ladies was wearing gloves, but she was making something for someone else. I got bare hands lady. The guy who cashed me out was super nice. He asked me if it was my first visit there because he hasn't seen me before and I confirmed it was my first time there. He said I get a free cookie because first time customers always get a free cookie. And he told me all customers, old and new, get a free cookie on Fridays. Nice! When I got home, I discovered I received not just one, but two cookies. Score! The sandwiches were tasty. They weren't huge, but very reasonable for the price. The cookies were peanut cookies and were buttery and full of crushed peanuts. My husband and I shared the sandwiches and ate half of each type. I preferred the Club over the Philly. There's seating to eat in. The ambiance is a hybrid between an old school diner and a cafe. Staff were working on some catering orders while I was there. I think that might be the bulk of their business. Street parking only. Worth a try if you can make it to The Glebe between 8am-2pm on weekdays. (132)

I immediately like this place - the decor features open, Industrial ceilings, bright art and a slew of tables and chairs. The big deli counter is old school and wonderful, and I love that you can see all the business behind the counter. The menu features traditional deli goods, and I decided to order a turkey sandwich for myself and grilled cheese for the little ones. We also picked up a cheeseburger for their mama which looked UNREAL and she said tasted great. Everything was super fresh - the turkey was the freshest I think I've ever had and it was so smokey an wonderful. The kaiser bun was perfect. While we were waiting for our food (which only took about 10-15 minutes), a lovely older lady come up to me and gave the little ones a free cookie (which was SO good - I may have snuck a bite!). She was so sweet, and I assume this was Olga. I really want to head back here and try more of their menu.

I haven't had the opportunity to get to any of those yet, but given how much I enjoyed that meat at Markie's, I'm looking forward to Montreal. Knowing full well that this could be a very filling meal, I tried to be somewhat reasonable on my order... I went for a basic lean meat sandwich and their regular order of smoked meat poutine, to share with someone else. The sandwich came out first, and the smoked meat was thinly sliced thickly stacked, lean, and flavorful with a then smear of yellow mustard on one slice of bread (was any other mustard available?) and a pickle spear. And then the poutine came. "Objects in the picture are larger than they appear." Who had any idea that a "regular" poutine would be super-sized, more than enough for 2? (Well, other satisfied customers, of course). As far as the poutine goes, I'm not sure how it compares with what you get at the poutineries downtown, but it was certainly satisfying, and the meat even more so.

My first visit to a Whole Foods Market was years ago, after completing a job interview in Yorkville…read morein Toronto. I definitely remember what I got: a slice of tiramisu. At that time, it was the only Whole Foods in the greater Toronto area. Whole Foods has grown on me, likely because Markham has one and I frequent it often. I don't fit the profile of a typical Whole Foods shopper who tends to carry expensive handbags, must get everything organic, and can afford all things expensive, including tiny bottles of elixirs that extend their years on planet Earth. I like their dairy-free items. I love Carbonaut bread and the entire bakery section, including tiramisu. There are specific items that I get at this store. If I'm looking for romaine lettuce or celery, you'll likely see me at a grocery store that offers these items at normal, cheaper prices. Four years ago, I was in the Glebe and saw this Whole Foods store. I didn't go in. I had already got what I needed at a Metro. On my most recent visit, after spending a few hours exploring the area with a friend, I realized that I needed almond beverage and lemons. I had yet to set foot in any grocery store. They were good reasons to check this store out. I had parked underground. The elevator got me to this store. I exited the elevator on the main floor to hit Winners. This store has a cafe that occupies the entire floor. It was busy just before noon. People must love getting coffee and a baked good here. When I returned just past 5 pm, you could hear crickets on this floor. The cafe was closed. It was different. My local one is still open when I'm there at 7 pm. I have yet to hit the cafe at any Whole Foods location. I took the escalator up to the second floor, which is where the entire supermarket is. I immediately found almond beverage. Organic. Sugar-free. Perfect. I also found the produce area. The Rainier cherries looked good. They were also so expensive that I blocked the price out and moved on. I got a couple of lemons. You could get a bag of six. The price was the same if you calculated how much one lemon was going for, so you might as well pick your own pristine-looking lemons. I looked around. It has the usual salad and hot food bars. You pay by weight, which does add up if you aren't careful. There were lots of snacks and drinks to choose from. A can of flavoured carbonated water was going for $2.69. It makes you wonder how this store determines the prices that it sets. It was enjoyable looking at the plants and flowers. It's a nice grocery store. I had an equally nice woman at the checkout area. I paid for my items with a debit card. I didn't need a bag. My lemons were already in one, so I carried it and my carton of almond beverage to the elevator. It was convenient taking the elevator down to the underground parking lot. I walked to my car, paid for parking, and left. The lemons and almond beverage were great. I'm glad that I got what I needed at this store. I had a fun time shopping here. It's my second Whole Foods that I've been to where it has two floors. We'll see if I return in another four years. Maybe I'll try the cafe... haha! (262)

We were staying in Byward market area. Then I found this place - highly reputed among locals for its sandwiches using high quality deli meat and condiments from eastern Europe. They are open at 9am! Perfect! Nice little deli with one table in the store. Take-out spot. We got the following: # Turkey sandwich: Thick cut, generous turkey slices (taste like actual tender turkey breast) with lettuce, pickle, tomato, mayo, mustard, and roasted red pepper spread. Paired with smoked cheese slice. It was DELICIOUS. What set this apart from other sub/sandwich places is the use of roasted red pepper spread. It is a game changer. Bread (Kaiser) is fresh, crispy on the outside, slightly sweet and light interior, perfect for the rich meat slices. # Schnitzel sandwich: Pork schnitzel topped with sauerkraut salad and served on a toasted Kaiser. This was a bit disappointing - the schnitzel was very hard and dry. However, the sauerkraut salad and again, the roasted red pepper spread was perfect accompaniment. # Homemade Vienna cheesecake: Delicious!!! $2.99 per cake, homey taste. Fresh and light, with a hint of orange. Although I expressed negative for their schnitzel this time, I still want to rate 5. Affordablity, quality of cold cuts, selection of bread and choice of toppings and seasoning, and pleasant and efficient customer service- they do have something very special that I really want to recommend here highly. This place will be our go-to place. A must-visit in Byward!!!
