One of the greatest pleasures of living in downtown Toronto west is the Portuguese bakeries. Incredibly reasonably priced sandwiches, pastries, custards and meaty extras make my world go around, and Nova Era delivers all of this goodness.
My go to lunch here (and a lot of bakeries in my hood) is the tosta mista. If you aren't familiar, it's a big soft roll with ham and cheese that they press down to a grilled panini-like thing, and it's crunchy, gooey and always satisfying. Pair it with one of their daily homemade soups? Done.
They also make entire cakes daily, and sell slices on the cheap, if you have a sweet tooth.
