Toronto is a great city in that you can basically get any food whim catered to at any time, any day. One thing that Toronto does great is the art of the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. What’s that you say? You can make grilled cheese at home for a fraction of the cost and time? Maybe, but what you won’t get are these mouth-watering options from great local businesses that take grilled cheese to a whole new level.

Here are 3 of the best grilled cheese spots in TO:

Cut the Cheese

It may have a crude name, but this joint on 2901 Dundas W is easily one of the best places to satisfy that cheese craving you’ve had for weeks. Specializing in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and mac ‘n cheese, you can get a delicious and quick meal here for super reasonable prices. They have everything from classic sandwiches using ingredients you’d never use at home, to special creations like the Harvest – A roast butternut squash, caramelized onion, apple-celery remoulade sandwich with Fontina and Emmental. Talk about fancy comfort food!

Anties and Uncles

This great stop on 74 Lippincott combines all the best elements of casual, diner-based eating with the great food of any high-scale establishment. In business for 18 years and counting, this diner has been a staple for thousands for a long time. Not only do they serve great breakfasts and lunches, but their grilled cheese is famous and completely delicious. Served with a side and with extras like fried eggs or bacon, it’s hard to go wrong with a classic like this, and in a classic restaurant like Anties and Uncles.

Melt Grilled Cheese

Another exclusive grilled cheese restaurant, Melt, located at 300 Richmond W is the go-to stop for ooey gooey goodness. They have great, fresh made sandwiches and poutine just waiting for you to get your craving satisfied and their grilled cheese is something to marvel at. From their breakfast “Good Morning Melt” (with cheddar, an egg, tater tots and mayo) to the more elaborate “Bacon Avacado” (cheddar, herb and garlic cream cheese, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, spinach and chipotle aioli), it’s hard to find something to dislike, and they certainly cater to any kind of eater. Whether you’re looking for something simple and delicious or something fun and elaborate, Melt has you covered.

 

So what are you waiting for? Grilled cheese sandwiches are probably the best food in the world, so go out and visit some places that specialize in them! You might be pleasantly surprised at what you find!
