Intimate groups, guaranteed excellence, and 100% Canadian pride. The ultimate taste of home.

A casual walk along the Esplanade from the Distillery District to St. Lawrence Market.

St. Lawrence Market, trading since 1803 and designated a National Historic Site — the city's oldest public market, and counted among the world's ten great food markets by National Geographic, ahead of London's Borough Market. Guests start at Carousel Bakery for the market's signature peameal bacon sandwich, piled high and finished with maple syrup from Indigenous women producers in Eastern Canada, then grab a Nanaimo bar to go from Eve's Temptations. Your Culinary Storyteller walks you through the stalls and their stories before continuing on to the Distillery District. This isn't a photo stop — it's where farmers have sold to the city for two centuries, where Toronto's food culture was built stall by stall, and where, for a few minutes, you're not a tourist in a market, you're a local picking up breakfast. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
