Bigger and better
Rated this place:
Now that Zane has moved his much buzzed about deli to its own location on College, the lines are longer than ever. The good news is that Caplansky's has expanded its menu to include an 8 oz. smoked meat burger, braised brisket and steak. Of course, Caplansky's is known for its Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches and they're still as good as when he started serving out of the Monarch Tavern. If you're like me and don't eat pork, you'll be happy to find the menu has great alternatives to the city's standard bacon/sausage and eggs breakfast options. My favourite is the smoked meat hash. Served with two sunny side up eggs and toast (get the challah), it's enough to take you to dinner. If you arrive for lunch or dinner, start your meal off with soup. I'm not one to order matzoh ball, but the cabbage borscht is arguably the best thing on the menu. With just enough sweetness and shreds of meat, the soup alone is enough to make me wait in line. Heaven in a bowl on a cold evening.
