Reisroute
Stap in de meest magische wijk van Toronto — een prachtig bewaard gebleven industriedorp uit de Victoriaanse tijd met geplaveide straten, gebouwen van rode bakstenen en een charmante sfeer die alleen toegankelijk is voor voetgangers. Ooit een bruisende whiskydistilleerderij in de jaren 1800, is het nu een van de meest geliefde bestemmingen van de stad, gevuld met onafhankelijke winkels, kunstgaleries, cafés en restaurants. Wandel door de historische steegjes en geniet van de unieke mix van oude charme en moderne creativiteit. Het is de perfecte plek om te vertragen, te verkennen en verborgen pareltjes om elke hoek te ontdekken — vooral magisch tijdens de feestdagen wanneer de hele wijk transformeert in een winterwonderland. Een echte Toronto schat, en een van de hoogtepunten van onze Great Canadian Food Tour.
Een van Toronto's meest iconische en geliefde bezienswaardigheden, St. Lawrence Market voedt de stad sinds 1803. Het is uitgeroepen tot een van 's werelds beste voedselmarkten en is een levendige, historische bestemming vol met meer dan 120 verkopers die alles aanbieden, van verse producten en ambachtelijke kazen tot speciaal vlees, gebak en wereldwijde smaken. De thuisbasis van de legendarische boterham met peamealbacon en een zaterdagse boerenmarkt die zowel de lokale bevolking als bezoekers trekt, de markt bruist van energie, verhalen en ongelooflijk eten. Of u nu op zoek bent naar de perfecte kaas, internationale delicatessen proeft of gewoon de sfeer opsnuift, St. Lawrence Market is een echte Toronto-ervaring — en een heerlijk hoogtepunt van onze Great Canadian Food Tour.

Don’t eat breakfast before you go on this tour!! So much information, so much food, so much fun!! You won’t regret this one!!
William was an awesome tour guide and was very informative about the Canadian history and various foods. The food was excellent and very good portions. Definitely recommend this tour, time and money well spent.
Anthony, thank you — "time and money well spent" is the exact bar we set, so hearing it back in your words means a lot. Leaving guests full is a point of pride around here: proper portions, no polite little samples. And yes, William can trace a plate back a hundred years without breaking stride — Canadian history goes down easier with peameal in hand. Your recommendation is the best thanks there is. Send your friends; we'll feed them properly. — Jusep, Founder, Chopsticks+Forks
There is so much good food! And we enjoyed learning about the history of the city from our guide, William! Both areas visited were very interesting. We’ll definitely visit them again!
Amy, this is our favourite kind of ending — guests going back on their own. That's the whole idea: once William hands you the stories, St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District stop being attractions and start being your neighbourhoods. Say hi to the vendors when you return — and when you've eaten your way through those two, Kensington Market is waiting with five continents more. — Jusep, Founder, Chopsticks+Forks
William was a great guide. Food was good, and especially enjoyed him giving the history of the districts visited.
Thank you for this, and for spending the day with us! The history is William's favourite part — he can't pass a corner of St. Lawrence Market or the Distillery District without telling its story, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Glad the food kept pace with the storytelling. When you're next hungry, our Kensington Market International Food Tour takes you to five continents in one walk — William's friends there set a high bar.
We had so much delicious new foods on this tour we skipped dinner. Our guide William was a delightful guide and storyteller and very attentive to our dietary needs. Travelers should know there is a 20 minute walk between the Distillery District and the St. Lawrence Market.
Joseph, skipping dinner is the highest star rating we know — thank you! William will be pleased his stories landed and that your dietary needs were handled with care; that attentiveness is a point of pride with him. And thanks for the practical note on the walk between the Distillery and St. Lawrence: we like to think of it as the appetite reset between courses, but it's a fair heads-up for fellow travellers. Come hungry again soon!
I had a wonderful experience on the food tour of St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery Historic District. It was a fantastic way to discover Toronto’s history, culture, and amazing food. A special thank you to our tour guide, William, who made the experience truly memorable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the stories behind the places we visited and the foods we tasted. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. The food selections were delicious, and I appreciated learning about the history and traditions connected to each stop. William created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making everyone feel engaged and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Toronto through its food, history, and hidden gems. Thank you, William, for such a wonderful experience!

It was a great tour! I wasn’t expecting anything this nice. Willian was an excellent guide and his acting career made his delivery of information very entertaining! The food was plentiful and was more than enough for a heavy lunch

My son and I did the Distillery/St. Lawrence Market tour with William. The food along the tour was delicious and really filled us up! We also got an excellent sample of Canadian cuisine. We started in the Distillery where we had two savory bites, a “savory” cocktail (virgin), and a delectable sweet treat. William told us about the history of the Distillery and how it developed into the area it is today. He was super knowledgeable. Then, we walked through the Esplanade, which on this beautiful Toronto day, was quite lovely. This walk lead us to the St. Lawrence Market where we sampled 3 more items: a sandwich, seafood, and a second sweet treat. Was it $80 worth of food? No, it was not, but it gave us a great sampling of Canadian culture with a personable guide, and it WAS filling. We even brought some back to the hotel because we couldn’t eat it all. To me, it was well worth it. ENJOY!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We're delighted that you and your son enjoyed exploring both the Distillery District and St. Lawrence Market with William. It's wonderful to hear that the food was delicious, filling, and provided a great introduction to Canadian cuisine and culture. We're especially pleased that William's knowledge of Toronto's history and neighborhoods helped bring the experience to life. Thank you as well for highlighting the value of the tour as more than just a food experience—our goal is to combine great food, local history, and meaningful cultural insights into one memorable outing. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you both back for another Toronto food adventure in the future!
Great way to see old Toronto. Interesting Distillery district and St Lawrence Market tour. William was a great guide, a lot of walking but totally worth it.
So glad to hear you enjoyed your taste of Canada and and glad William led you well for all the sights and eats. Till next time... stay hungry. Till next time... stay hungry.
