This is the most affordable sandwich in the city. It's old school, no fuss no muss. Perfect meal for the working man who forgot to make his lunch. Don't forget to grab some mustard and other condiments on the way out otherwise it'll taste on the dry side.

Need a good sandwich on the run. Then can't beat GTD. Line-ups move fast. Rye bread and Kaiser rolls are fresh. Soups are decent and hearty.

Used to be cash only but has recently added Interac.

Great sandwiches, the soups are pretty good and the prices are amazing! This place is nothing fancy, but if you're looking for a quick, easy and very tasty lunch, this is the spot. They've got a pretty good variety of sandwiches, the hot Genoa Salami is quite tasty and just about the best lunch you'll find for under $3.

The service is awesome, the line can be pretty big around lunch time, but... more

This is a fabulous, if slightly odd, take-away place. Food is excellent and insanely inexpensive for downtown.
There is a wide assortment of deli sandwiches available - all of a reasonable size (no giant deli portions) in the $2.25 - $3.00 range. Delish deli. Soup is excellent, but it's a soup of the day, there isn't a whole lot of... more

Delightfully reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s without having changed. Fun to sit in the front window and eat your pre-made saran-wrapped sandwich.

German Town Deli is a small deli and grocer located downtown. They open and close early. I've seen employees locking up the restaurant around 4pm. If you're looking to pick up an inexpensive, home made sandwich and you eat meat, this is a great option. Be advised that this restaurant is not right for vegetarians and vegans.

I would say German Town Deli makes the 2nd or 3rd best sandwich in... more

The best ham and cheese sandwich in Ottawa. Used to work around the area and usually find myself in the massive line up during lunch hour. Good selection of deli sandwich and dessert. My all time favorite is the simple ham and cheese sandwich. My sister who lives in Vancouver requests at least half dozen everytime I go back visit.

Great little restaurant. Found it here on Yelp and loved it. Sandwich was very fresh, great Westfalian ham! Potato soup was as good if not better than my German grandmother's! Very quick to serve you, no delays even though I was 5th in line. Can't beat the prices either.

Clean and quick, lines out the door get served fast at lunch. Terrific low cost sandwich and now an all-dressed option with lettuce tomato and mayo. I love the spicy salami all dressed, but the ham and cheese on rye is still terrific. Cash only location, but right next to a BMO.
BEST sausages I've ever had - Landjager - buy 6 or more and there's no tax. Best roast beef cold cuts in town. Potato... more

The freshest bread and rolls, the tastiest cold cuts and spreads, at the best prices. That pretty well sums up German Town, a stalwart from the days of serving a quality, take out sandwich lunch for under two dollars. Service is genuine, but the line up still moves quickly. If you are in downtown Ottawa, and are looking for really good take out at a really good price, this is it. Ham, ham and... more

I was at my brother-in-law's house for some barbecue hamburgers and he brought out some ketchup and this amazing mustard. It was in a huge, ceramic jar and had a French-sounding name. The mustard was hot, tangy and grainy. I loved it and asked my BIL where he got it. He couldn't really remember, but said it was a deli downtown. So, since then, I have been scouting out delis in the city looking... more
