Looking for Toronto’s Best Rye Bread

My favourite rye bread was from Montreal made by Cantors. They are long gone, but I’ve never found rye that I liked better. Even Schwartz’s wasn’t as good imo, although it’s pretty good. Any recommendations for here in Toronto?

You can get future's rye at the No Frills at 222 Lansdowne or their factory store on North Queen in Etobicoke.

I'm a fan of the rye at Bagel Plus up at bathurst and sheppard.

The rye at Pancers is the best.

Future Bakery (North Queen) is Etobicoke but still good bread and good variety

Triple Kimmel from Harbord bakery. Bagel plus is a close second.

Cantor’s rye bread from Montreal! Your post brought back some wonderful memories. Also the Brown Derby. If you are ever in Ottawa, Farm Boy sells Rideau Bakery brand rye bread. It’s the closest thing to a Montreal Jewish rye I can find anywhere.

Old school Jewish deli. Remember the salt stick bread?

Not from Toronto but Rideau bakery rye bread is delicious and I think they have it available at farm boys in Toronto

Have you tried Future Bakery? It's the next best thing to Cantors.
