Some may feel that Pumpernickel’s is an odd addition to my list of reviews but located in First Canadian Place and TD Tower (likely in other buildings as well), it’s actually a perfect stop for bringing lunch back to your desk or choosing to people watch the Bay St. crowd in the building cafeteria.
I enjoy Pumpernickel’s because of its diversity. There are a plethora of ready-made sandwiches, panini’s and wraps, ‘real’ smoked meat brought in directly from Montreal (cut thick and properly) and some decent hot lunches that include brisket and mash, salmon and salad or a daily hot pasta. One of my favourites at Pumper’s is the mixed-bean salad that is surprisingly hearty and very healthy. If you’re looking for a small healthy lunch that really does fill you up, try a bowl and I’m sure you’ll be pleased (the other make-your-own salads are worth mention as well).
All that healthy talk aside, Pumpernickel’s made this website because of its pork Schnitzel sandwich (picture to come, but chop-up that massive schnitzel pictured above and imagine it in a sandwich). With choice of a white or brown bun, mayo or mustard, grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, and/or tomatoes, by the time the two healthy portions of schnitzel are chopped up and put on your sandwich; you can barely fit the thing in your mouth. It’s no question a thing of beauty.
Recommendation: You can try the Bean Salad or Chicken Cesar Wrap but honestly, the Schnitzel Sandwich is a must and shouldn't be messed with. Ask the server to cut you a pickle for the side and you are all set.
