I decided to try this no-frills lunch spot after reading and hearing a lot of great things.
I ordered the Basil Marinated Fried Tomato sandwich - the only true vegetarian option on their menu.
The service was friendly and fast - I was in and out within five minutes.
Served on a fresh kaiser, the fried tomatoes were crisp and the roasted eggplant and avocado spread gave the sandwich a light and savoury splash of flavour. It was topped with arugula, diced red onions and goat cheese - a great combination with the mild nature of the tomatoes, eggplant and avocado.
I didn't order a side, which I regretted. The sandwich alone wasn't enough to keep me full.
Overall, The Clubhouse Sandwich Shop is welcomed addition to the arsenal of lunch options in the College/Spadina area. I'll definitely go back.
