Zelden's Deli and Desserts

Smoked Meat Sandwich

The house smoked meat, sliced to order, piled onto rye — the defining test of any Toronto deli and reportedly a strong pass here

Matzo Ball Soup

A clear, golden broth with a single substantial matzo ball — the kind of bowl that earns a deli its reputation on cold Toronto days

House Baked Desserts

The rotating pastry case — rugelach, squares, and layer cakes — is the most consistent praise point across reviews; whatever is fresh that day is worth ordering

Cheesecake

Dense, old-school New York-style cheesecake — rich and unapologetically heavy, the way deli cheesecake is supposed to be

Corned Beef Sandwich

Brined and tender, served on rye — a reliable alternative to smoked meat and a strong showing in its own right
