The Best Focaccia in Toronto

The best focaccias in Toronto are tender, crisp, uniformly golden and seasoned simply with olive oil and salt or a profusion of herbs and toppings. Whether thin or thick, these loaves make snack time, lunchtime, anytime, that much better thanks to their versatile nature and tempting taste.

If your go-to bread leans a little dry, adding neither texture nor flavour to your meals, reach for a yeasty focaccia instead. Airy, spongy and light, infused with bright olive oil and heightened with toppings of every kind, these breads are good enough to eat on their own. Use them as the base for a sandwich, and uncover the depth of their charms.

Easy enough to make at home, focaccia still requires attention to ingredients and time. If your lockdown baking days are behind you, no problem. Toronto’s best bakers know what you want and are baking it up fresh every day. Pick up one of the best focaccias in the city and we guarantee it won’t arrive home whole. Tear a piece from the bag, eat it in monstrous mouthfuls, lick your fingers of salty, oily goodness, and then start planning the best sandwich your kitchen has seen in months.
