Pork is delicious in almost any form, that is a fact, but at Porchetta & co the noble swine gets the royal treatment. I recently popped in here on a Saturday afternoon after hearing the rave reviews and this place absolutely lived up to the hype.
The place is a hole in the wall with enough room to seat about 5-6 people and on this occasion it was quite busy. I ordered a porchetta sandwich with mushrooms, grain mustard, onions and truffle sauce on the side as well as a side order of roasted potatoes. My sandwich was ready shortly after, the pork was absolutely incredible, so tender and juicy with just the perfect ratio of meat to fat. The sandwich also contained deep fried crackling (pig skin) which added some salt and a bit of a crunch. The strong grain mustard was the perfect compliment to cut through the fatty meat but the truffle sauce was unnecessary IMO as all it did was mask the natural flavour of the meat (it was more of a truffle mayo than a sauce). The bread was so fresh, soft in the middle and just a little crispy on the outside. This was truly a perfectly made sandwich. The side of roasted potatoes was good but certainly not mind-blowing, the potatoes actually went well with the truffle sauce. My meal with a drink ran me about $13 but was well worth it.
The place itself is really tiny with a couple counters along the wall to sit and eat. The service was efficient and my food was made very quickly, this definitely a grab and go type place. If you find yourself wandering around Dundas West keep an eye out for this place and be sure to grab yourself a sandwich.
