Toronto: Express - St. Lawrence Market+Distillery Food Tour

90 minutes - Discover Canada's food culture on a guided tour of St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District. Sample local specialties like peameal bacon sandwiches, poutine, and butter tarts.
Meet your guide, Jusep, Founder of Chopsticks+Forks for a steady, flavour-packed introduction to Canadian food culture — 90 minutes, no lines, no filler, just the real Toronto. Chopsticks+Forks has been walking these streets since 2016, and this express route was built for travellers who want the city's best bites without the half-day commitment.

Start at St. Lawrence Market — first on National Geographic's list of the world's top ten food markets, ahead of London's Borough Market, and a National Historic Site trading continuously since 1803. Try Carousel Bakery's famous peameal bacon sandwich (the same one Anthony Bourdain and Emeril Lagasse raved about), piled high and finished with maple syrup from Indigenous women producers in Eastern Canada. Grab a Nanaimo bar to go from Eve's Temptations, one of the market's beloved family stalls.

From there, a short, scenic walk into the historic Distillery District — 19th-century industrial architecture, cobblestone lanes, once home to the largest distillery in the British Empire. Sit down for Montreal-smoked-meat poutine and an iced London Fog at Sweetie Pie, then finish at Tartistry with a Scotch butter tart — a tasting you won't find anywhere else in the city.

Your veteran Culinary Storytellers, not a script-reader — they know these vendors personally, some for years, and share the real stories behind the food, not just the history. Family-friendly and family-owned, rain or shine.
