Black Camel has been selling some of the best sandwiches in the Rosedale-Moore Park neighbourhood since they opened their doors nearly 20 years ago in 2004. The Black Camel restaurant may have a small interior but their food is packed with flavor. Black Camel is well-known for their delicious and tender pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. One quirk of Black Camel’s variety of breakfast sandwiches is that they are made with eggs, which are scrambled using an espresso machine.
The quality of the Black Camel brisket cannot be overstated. The slow-roasted beef brisket sandwich comes with brisket marinated in a custom dry rub for three days before being slow-cooked for 14 hours overnight, and then allowed to rest for 24 hours. This means it takes five days total to produce this amazing sandwich. The pulled BBQ pork shoulder sandwich is made with the similarly intense process with the pork getting a three-day dry rub marinade and overnight slow-cook before being pulled and put on sandwiches.
The foundation for all of the Black Camel signature sandwiches is a fluffy white Portuguese bun from Progress Bakery, complementing the meat in both flavour and sturdiness. Aside from the amazing selection of sandwiches, Black Camel also offers high-quality coffee options. Classic Gourmet coffee roasters designed a blend just for Black Camel that is not too bitter or acidic and serves as the perfect accompaniment to one of their robust breakfast sandwiches.
