Separated from the Simmons Building’s other eatery, Charbar, by glass walls, Sidewalk Citizen bakery’s seating area is both close to the action and tucked away, which gives it a sense of warmth. Plus the food – sandwiches, Israeli-inspired dips and baked goods all made in-house – is made with care and always full of flavour.
The featured lunch pita at Sidewalk Citizen changes every day, with meat and vegetable options to satisfy your particular preferences. While you’re there, make sure you get something sweet for dessert and a cup of joe next door at Phil & Sebastian to fuel the rest of your day. Enjoy your pita while you stroll down the RiverWalk, or take your lunch down to St. Patrick’s Island to find a perfect picnic spot.
The Simmons Building’s resident bakery puts a unique spin on its croissants, using the same sourdough starter that kicks off its signature bread, making for a deeper flavour. For something sweet, Sidewalk also makes characteristically delicious Callebaut pain au chocolat and syrup-drizzled almond croissants.
