One of my best friends took me out for lunch to Finch's. I have had brunch(poached eggs) there before and was not feeling the spot that much other than the fact there are tons of hot girls in there. My friend was insistent that the sandwiches are the best in the city. This guy knows how to eat, you can tell by looking at him and he has revealed a lot of dope food spots in this city to me.
I got the prosciutto sandwich with olive oil and edam cheese and he got the bocconcini sandwich and paid a little more and got prosciutto added to it. The sandwich were simple and were really tasty and I mean really tasty, soo fresh and the fresh baguette was delicious. I even ate the tomatoes in the sandwich and I don't like tomatoes.
Finch's sits on the top five list of best sandwich spots in the city for me. Definitely worth a trip if you are looking for a good sandwich, it is not the cheapest sandwich in the city but definitely one of the freshest. The atmosphere is nice but seating can be limited at lunch. Also be warned it is not the quickest spot if you are looking for a sandwich with the speed of a sandwich artist from Subway you might as well go to Subway.
After the meal, I felt great like I just ate a good salad. The price of the sandwich was about eight dollars.

---- I need to find some more spots
I will return to some of my old favorites to see how they rank ( San Siero Deli, Green City, La Charcuterie)
Sorry homies, Social and their greasy bread didn't make the cut but it is a great value for a downtown/gastown spot.

That boccaccini, basil. tomato sandwich has Josh written all over it. If you wanna take it over the edge, you get that buffalo mozzarella, you can cop it at granville island market, it's expensive but worth it
I just want to say, i really like your food blog!
go to brioche. they have a really great proscuitto and boccoccini panini. dynamite at 7buck
Czech Moms Deli on Dunsmir and Richards area. Cheap food, good sandwiches, great goulash. Mrs.Mom and Mr.Dad are great too.
skip brioche, two doors down is presto pannini. good deal, super fast service and great taste.
wooops, up the street from bacchus, not brioche!
finch's has a great sandwich. next time get the veggie sandwich and add prosciutto.
but when you're back, arrange to meet me for lunch around my work downtown and i'll take you to a great deli.
I love Finch's. Glad I'm not the only one who didn't love So.cial- check out the backlash in my blog comments. http://iatethelotus.blogspot.com/2008/02/social-notthatgreat.html
Have to try the Greedy Pig in Gastown next, I hear they do a wicked pulled pork sandwich. I enjoy your blog!
Have you tried Little Nest, on Commercial?
It is really for parents and there kids- but their lunch is amazing! If you can handle the crying and giggling.
i love the kim saigon viet subs in chinatown...
If you don't like the So.cial bread, try their new (?) whole wheat option, its not as greasy. They bumped the price recently, so it's starting to veer into the maybe-I-should-get-a-small-instead-of-a-medium zone. Still, the salt beef is worth it if they've got it in stock.
lydia: I didn't find Greedy Pig to be any better than So.cial. This area needs more competition in the sandwich business.
check out coco et olive on broadway for awesome sandwiches and treats!
