The Great Canadian Food Tour – St. Lawrence Market & the Distillery District

Taste the world in less than a mile - flavours from 8 countries & 5 continents!

Kensington Market is the perfect place to experience Toronto’s diverse cuisine. Get ready to taste amazing dishes with authentic ingredients from the Middle East, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia on this guided walking food tour.

Recognized in 2006 as a National Historic Site, the Kensington Market, in the heart of Toronto, is without a doubt the most multicultural blocks you will find anywhere in the city.

Bordered by China Town and Little Italy, the Kensington Market area has come a long way since its early beginnings as a British war hero's estate. Today, the bohemian lifestyle and Rastafarian Culture are a sharp contrast to an area that once served as a hub of Jewish worship, trade and commerce.

With so many options it’s hard to know where to start. This is the tour that shows what “Made in Canada” really means: a city where the world’s traditions meet, share tables, and become part of our own story.

Your expert guide will lead you through one of Toronto’s most storied neighbourhoods, where the flavours of South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Canada live side by side. Over two and a half hours, you’ll taste your way across continents with the generosity and warmth that defines how we host.
