Voted as one of Toronto’s “Top 25 Sandwiches” by @torontolife, the Roast Beef at @donnas.to is a confident little number with a chirpy personality.
Departing from the norm, it’s a Portuguese roll, lightly crisped on the outside but soft within, that’s tasked with holding everything together. The layers of roast beef tucked in there is wonderfully soft and moist from being marinated in beef fat and honey. Cosying up to the meat are parsnips with the lightest crunch, fresh watercress and a generous helping of golden-brown fried shallots. A dash of saucy heat from the horseradish sauce spices things up Goldilocks-right.
