The Art of the Peameal Bacon Sandwich

A true Canadian classic, redefined for the modern palate while staying true to its roots.

There are few things as quintessentially Toronto as a peameal bacon sandwich. It’s a staple of our city's culinary history, born from necessity and perfected through generations of early risers and market goers.

When adding this classic to the 828 menu, we knew we had to respect its heritage. Our peameal is locally cured, sliced thick, and griddled until the cornmeal crust achieves that signature crunch. We don’t overcomplicate it. The pork speaks for itself.

Served on a fresh, pillowy kaiser roll with just a touch of whole grain mustard and crisp lettuce, our Peameal Bacon Sandwich is a nod to our local roots and an homage to the hardworking locals who built this city.

Come experience the history, one bite at a time.
