EnglishWhat you'll do
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.
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.

However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.
Can I pay the tour in cash?
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
Are the food tours wheelchair and/or stroller accessible?
Many of our tours are not wheelchair or stroller accessible. We recommend contacting us before booking to discuss this specific tour and accessibility options.
