Moe Pancer's Deli

Reviewed by Toronto LifeLorne Pancer’s grandfather founded this north Toronto institution in 1957; now in its third generation, the place continues to thrive. Press clippings and black and white photos give the space a family feel. The takeout counter does a steady business in sandwiches and sliced meats, while a no-nonsense waitress steers those dining in toward the pastrami. It’s still Moe’s recipe: well-marbled (though never greasy) beef brisket rubbed with pepper and spices. Shaved thin and served warm on a platter or between rye, its subtle flavour stands out, especially when accompanied by crisp coleslaw. Unlicensed.
