Description
This private food tour is your perfect introduction to Canadian culture — one delicious bite at a time. Start in Toronto’s charming Old Town, passing Berczy Park on your way to a cozy local café for coffee or tea and a taste of what locals claim is the world’s best apple cake.
Then head to the iconic St. Lawrence Market — once named the world’s best food market — to learn how immigrant communities helped shape Canada’s culinary identity. Taste your way through classics like peameal bacon sandwiches, butter tarts, pierogis, mustard with pretzels, maple sweets, Montreal-style bagels, and more. With each bite, your guide shares personal stories, historical insights, and local knowledge you won’t find in a guidebook. Chat with vendors and discover what makes these foods uniquely Canadian.
