Sandwich Love

I usually don't like going to chain restaurants or cafe's but there are always exceptions and Artisano Bakery and Cafe on King st is one those exceptions. Artisano is the new kid to the area but they sure know sure to make really tasty sandwich.

Artisano is not your typical bakery or cafe but is combination of a restaurant, bakery and cafe all in one handy dandy location. The space that Artisano occupies is massive and you would definitely be very surprised once you walk into the place. The space is actually cleverly divided into separate areas by decorating each place differently and using different decor elements. Sitting down in one area definitely feels different then if I were to sit an another corner of a restaurant. Someone could feel like they were sitting down in a nice restaurant and having dinner while someone else sitting 10 feet away could feel like they were in a cafe and just sip coffee and read their book.

Artisano has a wide variety of freshly baked breads and pastries readily available for consumption as soon as you walk into the place. Artisano even offers different varieties of coffees and teas to help you wash down your baked treats. if you are not in the mood for baked treats you can also find a variety of sandwiches, pastas, pizza or something else on their big menu.

(Roast Beef on Sourdough)

The sandwich I had on my visit to Artisano was the Roast beef on Sour dough. This bread was toasted nice and crusty and the grilled vegetables with the roast beef worked very well together. The pasta salad on the side was different then what most people think it would be and consisted of vegetables, olive oil and seasoning instead of being mayonnaise based. The new approach to the pasta salad was light and made a perfect compliment to the sandwich.

(Chicken Basil Pesto)

The Chicken basil pesto was the other sandwich that was ordered and like the roast beef, it was nice and crusty. The chicken breast was moist and contained roasted vegetables and a basil pesto which added a delicious italian flavour to the sandwich.

This is a really great place for people to come in and have a nice dinner or for would-be bloggers to sit and sip their coffee while they write. After one visit to this place, it quickly became one of my goto places for a quick coffee or just to work on my projects with a group of friends. If you've never been here before and you are reading this, I highly recommend that you head over.
