I found out about this place in off all places, a design magazine. That's right. There was an article about their logo design. Then I saw Now listed them as best deli in TO so I had to try it especially since they were trying to do the real deal smoked meat out of Montreal. Weird spot in mainly a residential area hidden inside a dive-y sports bar. What's a deli doing here? So it doesn't look like a deli or smell like a deli. But it sure tastes like one. Smoked Meat was fantastic. Great flavor and smoke. Tried Poutine for the first time and since it's a deli it's smoked meat Poutine. Fries were thin with the skins still on so it's all natural. Definitely a heart attack on a plate so I'm glad I don't live in Toronto or I'd be dead by the time I'm 45 from eating all this stuff. The big minus is to order drinks you have to do it through the bar, not the deli. So you get two checks as a result and they don't take plastic so you're stuck with cash. Fortunately, they also accept the honor system even though I told them I may not have enough cash to pay for everything (turns out I did....barely) they still were willing to cut me a break. Great, now I'm telling you to all go there broke. Caplansky's has some great food albeit a lousy location. Maybe they need to set up a Smoked Meat truck and Tweet their location all over Toronto. Works for Korean BBQ Tacos here in LA so why not TO?
