8 Great Lane Cove Toasted Sandwiches

In the 1700’s  John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich was hungry after a long day and night gambling.  However he did not want to leave the gambling table, so asked for a meal he could eat while gambling.  The humble sandwich was born.

What makes a sandwich even greater is when it is toasted to warm up the filling and allowing certain ingredients to become oozy.

The toasted sandwich is ITC’s goto Lunch in Lane Cove and we have tasted quite a few. The selections below are some of our favs.

Tell us if you have a fav and we will check it out (it’s a hard job but someone has to do it.)

Lil Lane Eatery – Reuben Sandwich

Lil Lane Eatery has one of the best Reuben sandwiches ITC has ever tasted.  What is a Reuben sandwich?  The usual components are corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. The original sandwich is said to have been first made back in the early 1900s!  Lil Lane Eatery has put their own spin on it and it is delicious.

Birdwood Cafe – Croque Monsieur

Leave to the French to come up with a fancy name for a ham and cheese toasted sandwich.  The Croque Monsieur is two huge doorstep slices of bread filled with slices of Gruyère cheese and slices of ham.  The Birdwood Cafe has a very very good Croque Monsieur.  If you manage to eat it all,  you will not feel hungry for the rest of the day.

Jack & Co Food Store Northwood – BBQ Chicken and Bacon Sandwich

This sandwich is packed (and we mean packed) with ingredients.  The Chicken is so tender.  The bread is from social enterprise The Bread and Butter Project.  Any sandwich that includes the food group “Bacon” is a winner for us.  Try this one out – you won’t be disappointed.
