I wouldn't come here for their peameal sandwich... it doesn't have much flavor. it relies solely on the toppings you put on it.
speaking of... I couldn't even finish with telling the woman which toppings I want, as she quickly and disrespectfully walked away in the middle and made my sandwich in a second without any way of calling her back

I was watching old food shows and came across the Layover with Anthony Bourdain. Good timing as I was going to be in Toronto. I was intrigued by the peameal sandwich. I have not eaten pork in 5 years but I thought this would be a good exception. I was not disappointed as that sandwich is delicious. Service was great. The market is nice to eat in. Worth trying.

I went there on a sunday around lunch time, so the market was crowded. The staff was not the most inviting, but very efficient nonetheless. They handed me my order whithin a couple minutes at most. They only take cash, so be ready for that. I got a Peameal Bacon Sandwich, which was good. The bun was really soft.

The premeal sandwich was better than expected! Good value for money!

We enjoyed their delicious peameal bacon sandwiches and chose maple mustard as the sauce. They have various toppings to choose from and also a breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese. There will likely be a lineup but it moves quickly.

I finally had the so called famous peameal bacon sandwich. It’s fine, I guess… Despite it being recommended as the signature food of Toronto, I wouldn’t say that you’re missing out if you never had one. In fact, despite the peameal bacon being the main appeal, I enjoyed the bun more. It was worth trying to satisfy my curiosity though.

This meat is impossible to chew, I think a leather shoe is easier to chew than this meat.

Great food, but cash only. I'll always recommend this, but it'd be nice not to have to take a trip to the ATM.

I tried the famous peameal bacon and it wasn’t what I expected. It’s just white bread with Canadian ham with nothing else.

I stopped by on a weekday evening and enjoyed an portugese egg tarte for about $2.30! They only accept cash. The crust was crispy, and it was absolutely delicious! I was able to sit on a bench right in front and enjoy it at my own pace. I’ll definitely come back to try again!!

Carousel Bakery is our go to for bread, but also famous Peameal Sandwich and our favourite Meat pies. The service is 5+ stars with the staff, and owners Robert and Maurice greeting you. No visit to the Market is complete without stopping by and saying hi to pick up a sandwich. Its our family tradition. Try their Custard tarts or famous butter tarts with or without pecans. You won't be disappointed. There are other places serving peameal sandwiches but Carousel Bakery is the REAL DEAL! Peameal bacon originated here, it is part of Toronto's culinary history. Take it from a world traveler, cook book writer, culinary chef and graduate of the world famous Ducasse culinary school in Paris. All Carousel foods are simple, pure and so good. Authentic, no BS.

Carousel Bakery is historical landmark in the culinary scene of Toronto. It is not pretentious- you get slabs of Toronto's iconic peameal bacon with your fav topping mine, honey mustard in between a fresh ben. Simple and delicious. I also love their meat pies and I buy them to go, a back up meal at home.
