The experience

A taste of the world packed into Toronto’s most eclectic market neighbourhood.

Two and a half hours through Kensington Market, one of Toronto’s most multicultural pockets, tasting at least six dishes along the way — French Canadian poutine, a Jamaican beef patty with cocobread, a Chilean empanada de pino, aburi salmon pocket sushi, Tibetan momos with butter tea, and a Swedish ginger cookie with South African tea.

The route also passes by Chinatown, with the guide narrating the neighbourhood’s history throughout — a filling, market-hopping introduction to Toronto’s food scene rather than a sit-down meal.
