Attention from lovers of all things bread and pastries...
A friend of mine recently introduced me to Rustica Canteen, sister store to Rustica Sourdough and a baby created between the Rustica Sourdough's papa bear, Brenton Lang and head chef Matt Vero (Tall Timber, Coin Laundry). Conveniently located near Krimper cafe, Shortstop doughnuts, Raw Trader and N2. If that's not a win, I don't know what is. With the addition of Rustica Canteen, the block is officially the new foodie haven.
Along with my friends, we ordered the Lamb shoulder sandwich, the Chicken sandwich and the Honey roasted pumpkin salad. The lamb shoulder ( a personal favourite) was cooked perfectly- soft, succulent lamb meat paired with subtle flavours of mint. The most noteworthy of the Chicken sandwich was really the pumpkin sourdough; The bread was pillowy soft on contrary to many of the sourdough, which could be a bit hard and with crust that could slice your hard palate. The salad was very refreshing with a mix of kale and spinach leaves as well as lentils, Persian feta, honey roasted pumpkin and a vitelotte potatoes (purple potatoes?).
Pastries were drool worthy, instagram worthy and also calories worthy. Every crusty bite, every soft chew.... the baked goods were hella amazing. Notably: the brownie with dried fig. Uh huh this ones for all you dark chocolate fanatics holla at chu guuuurrrl
