Express Food Tour: Toronto

Strap on your walking shoes for a deep dive into the flavors of Kensington Market, Toronto’s ultimate destination for global street food. Over the course of two hours, we’ll eat our way through the neighborhood's storied history, using our taste buds to map out its evolution. Kensington is a living, breathing tapestry of immigrant culture, and there’s no better way to understand its bohemian soul than through the kitchens that define these streets. Between bites, we’ll explore the vibrant alleys and hand-painted storefronts of this National Historic Site, uncovering the rebellious spirit that keeps this market independent and authentic.&nbsp;Our journey centers on four distinct culinary stops, each offering a different window into the world. You’ll kick things off with the bold, warming spices of East Asian comfort food before moving on to a crunchy, sustainably-sourced classic that proves "guilt-free" can be delicious. We’ll then tuck into a "secret" destination for a refreshing, fruit-filled handmade treat that’s as much an art form as it is a dessert. Finally, we’ll wrap up our trek by warming up with the soul-soothing, traditional staples of the Himalayas. By the time we’re through, you’ll have experienced the very best of the market’s multicultural menu and the stories behind the people who cook it.
