Não somos mais guias de viagem de comida. Nós somos os contadores de histórias culinárias - os insiders do bairro, andando nestas ruas desde 2017.

Nomeado a 1a experiência de comida e bebida no Canadá pelo TripAdvisor (Os melhores dos melhores, 2022). Vencedor do World Luxury Travel Awards. Publicado em Condé Nast Traveller e National Geographic. Como o bom vinho, envelhecemos bem. O mesmo tour desde 2017 — uma experiência evoluída. Seis paradas, todas de propriedade familiar, 8 + cozinhas: uma refeição completa de degustações generosas, escolhidas à mão de amigos que conhecemos há quase uma década. Pequenos grupos, sem linhas, histórias que você não pode Google. Bem-vindo. Bem-vindo a casa.

Itinerário
Kensington Market é o bairro mais eclético do Patrimônio de Toronto - alguns quarteirões quadrados onde o mundo inteiro cozinha. Uma vez um mercado de imigrantes grosseiro, sempre honesto, tem sido nossa casa longe de casa desde 2017: o bairro mais diversificado na cidade mais diversificada do mundo. Nós caminhamos como os locais fazem - contra contra contra, amigo por amigo. Em seis cozinhas de propriedade familiar e 8 + cozinhas, degustações recentes incluíram peixe e batatas fritas com salada de repolho, patches jamaicanos de mamãe-receita, empanadas sul-americanas, sushi de bolso Japonês, dumplings do Himalaia com chá de manteiga e um acabamento doce perto do Fika Cafe. O menu mudou ao longo dos anos, mas o espírito não: esses são os sabores que nossos amigos adoram, porque eles ainda lhes lembram a casa que deixaram para trás. Pequenos grupos, sempre liderados por um veterano contador de histórias culinárias. Venha com fome — as degustações são generosas, vale uma refeição completa. Deixe com histórias que você não pode Google. Bem-vindo. Bem-vindo a casa.
Na borda leste de Kensington, o nosso passeio percorre a Chinatown de Toronto, a maior da América do Norte e uma das quatro Chinatowns de Toronto. Que uma única cidade tenha quatro diz tudo sobre a profundidade de sua diversidade. Não paramos para comer aqui — seis cozinhas em Kensington vão preenchê-lo — mas nós caminhamos ao lado de mais de 50 lugares para comer que abrangem 25 + nacionalidades de comida: casas de macarrão, janelas de churrasco, bancadas de dumpling, padarias, chá de bolha. Seu contador de histórias culinárias apontará onde os locais realmente estão na fila, e os hóspedes retornam regularmente no dia seguinte com nossa lista de seleção na mão. Pense nisso como uma prévia de tudo que esta cidade ainda tem esperando por você. Um passeio quase não arranha a superfície de como Toronto come — Kensington Market e Chinatown lado a lado são por isso que chamamos este bairro o mais diversificado na cidade mais diversificada do mundo: gerações de novos canadenses, cozinhando os sabores de casa, ao lado uns dos outros.

Turned out to be just my husband and myself with guide Felicia. She was warm, friendly and very enjoyable. The stops were well thought out and we had a lovely time. Ate so much we didn’t need dinner!
Love the unique restaurant choices for us to try and cultural commentary went along with the food beautifully!
We had a food tour with Jessica, starting off at Fresco’s Fish & Chips and ending at Fika with an iced tea and ginger cookie. The tour was so fun - we learned so much about the market and its history, different types of cuisine, and various cultures. Jessica was our guide and she was fantastic - an absolute ray of sunshine who possesses so much knowledge of the area and Toronto in general. I’d highly recommend the tour and exploring Kensington Market - was a wonderful 2.5 hour experience.
Felicia, our guide, was so knowledgeable and friendly. The food we had was amazing and we left very full!
Hi Karena, Thank you so much for this lovely review, and for joining us on the Kensington Market International Food Tour! Felicia has been with Chopsticks+Forks since the very beginning — she's our founding storyteller — and it means the world to hear her warmth and knowledge came through so clearly. We're so glad you left full (that's always the goal!). Thank you for trusting us with your afternoon in our neighbourhood. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
Jessica was an amazing tour guide. I tried foods that I would've walked past if I had been on my own. Highly recommend this tour to try new foods and get some history on the Kensington Market.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We love that Jessica opened up flavours you might have otherwise walked right past — that's exactly the Kensington experience we hope to share. We'll pass this along to her. Hope to welcome you back to explore more soon. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
Great tour guide. Lots of food from different countries.
Thank you for this — that variety is Kensington in a nutshell, a whole world of food in a few blocks. Glad you got a taste of it. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
Jessica was an amazing guide. Great value and delicious food! Had the best time!!!
Thank you for this — Jessica has such a warmth for Kensington and its stories, so glad it came through. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
We had a fantastic experience on the Kensington Market International Food Tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to truly understand this unique Toronto neighborhood. Our guide, Jessica, was fantastic—warm, friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. What I especially appreciated was that the tour wasn't simply a series of food tastings. At several stops, we didn't sample anything at all; instead, we learned about the businesses, the immigrant communities that shaped Kensington Market, and the neighborhood's fascinating history. Those stops added so much depth to the experience. The food itself was wonderfully diverse, reflecting the incredible range of cultures represented in Kensington Market. We sampled everything from fish and chips to Caribbean and Asian specialties, along with a Scandinavian treat. By the end of the tour, we had not only tasted a terrific variety of foods, but also gained a much deeper appreciation for the historic and cultural significance of the market. And yes, if you try everything, you will definitely leave with a very full belly! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Kensington Market beyond the surface and really understand the people, cultures, and history that have made this neighborhood so special.
Priscilla, thank you for a review this thoughtful. Kensington is home to families who left everything behind to build something new here, and Jessica does that history justice better than almost anyone I know. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
My boyfriend and I did the Kensington Market food tour during our trip to Toronto and I cannot recommend it enough! Jusep was our guide and he was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and truly made it such an enjoyable experience. It was a perfect way to try a lot of foods from a variety of cultures, in an area with so many options that it otherwise might be intimidating to know where to start. It was so delicious and a lovely experience. Come with an empty stomach!
Thank you both so much for this! Kensington is genuinely my favourite corner of the city to share — it's got so much packed into a few blocks that "where do I even start" is exactly the right instinct, and exactly what the tour is there to solve. So glad it landed the way it did, and that you left properly full — that's the goal. Thanks for taking the time to write this up, and I hope you two make it back to Toronto (and Kensington) again soon.
If you're looking for one of the best ways to experience Toronto, this food tour is an absolute must. We joined the Kensington Market International Food Tour with Jusep, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment the tour began, it was obvious how much Jusep genuinely loves Kensington Market. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his passion for the neighbourhood, its people, its history, and its incredible diversity shines through in every story he tells. His promise of taking you on a culinary journey through eight countries in under three hours isn't just a clever tagline—it truly feels like you're travelling the world without ever leaving Toronto. Each stop introduced us to authentic, delicious food while Jusep seamlessly connected the cuisine to the cultures, history, and communities that have made Kensington Market such a special place. This wasn't just a food tour—it was an entertaining, educational, and immersive experience. We laughed, learned, explored, and ate some incredible food. If you want to discover Toronto through its food and the stories behind it, this tour is worth every minute. Thank you, Jusep, for sharing your passion for Kensington Market and creating such a memorable afternoon. We'll definitely be back for another Chopsticks + Forks adventure!
Thank you for this — genuinely. Kensington isn't just where I work, it's my home away from home, and getting to share the stories of the families who've built their lives here is the best part of my week. So glad the eight-countries-in-three-hours promise held up and that you felt it, not just heard it. Can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure. Bienvenue, and welcome home.
