| - Carver is a neat little sandwich/salad shop on Peter St. The menu here is focused on two types of meat sandwiches, served on focaccia. Meals come with salad/drink, or you can get salad on its own ($6-12).
There's definitely a visual theme running through this small standing room-only takeout spot, and it has to do with 'The Six' and your woes (hint: images of Drake's likeness on the wall). One of the owner's is apparently a graphic designer turned restaurateur, so kudos on the branding. It's clean and modern in here, with bright menus and logos that contrast well with the exposed concrete and glass.
Must-try items:
Chicken Sandwich
Potato Salad
The meats here are prepared and slow cooked for hours at a time, which locks in the flavour. Carver sources grain-fed, free run poultry from a farm just outside of Toronto. At $8.49 for the chicken sandwich (make it a meal for $13.99), it's definitely worth it. Focaccia bread can be hit and miss, but the bread here goes very well with the sandwich (I did not find mine greasy at all).
The potato salad is creatively done, with crunchy pumpkin seeds and fresh cherry tomatoes among the ingredients. Their salad/baked potato lineup looks very appetizing. I found the presentation of the food and branding quite impressive. The meal will fill you, but you'll still have room for a snack or dessert afterwards. This is definitely a welcome addition to the entertainment district.
