Zelden’s Deli ~ 1446 Yonge St ~ (647) 347-3474
It is difficult to find a good delicatessen in downtown Toronto. Full stop. Of course, there are reasons for this: traditions have not always trickled down to the next-gen; commercial leases & rents are at an all time high; eating sensibilities have pivoted; grab-and-go sections of the supermarket are flooded with inferior, cost-effective options.

Their well-priced and generous portions mean that there’s lots of food to share, lots of food to doggybag, and little…
