Carousel Bakery
A historic stall operating for over half a century in St. Lawrence Market, famous for its signature Peameal Bacon Sandwich, an iconic taste of Toronto.
Located at Stall 42 on the upper level of the South Market in St. Lawrence Market, this bakery has been operating for over 50 years. The signature dish is the freshly griddled, thick-cut Peameal Bacon Sandwich, served on a fresh Kaiser roll with mustard, officially declared Toronto's signature sandwich by the mayor in 2016. Other offerings include Veal Parmesan Sandwiches, sausage sandwiches, and apple turnovers. No reservations needed; lunch queues are common but move quickly. A peameal bacon sandwich is about CAD 8.4.
