If you can’t find it at the St. Lawrence Market, it’s not worth looking for in the first place. Occupying space on the Market Block since 1803, St. Lawrence houses a bustling Saturday Farmers’ Market, nearly 150 independent vendors, the Market Gallery exhibition space and has the distinction of existing in one of Toronto’s most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods, which means hard-to-find items and ingredients are often easy to come by. Double down on your Toronto markets odyssey by visiting the Kensington Market, bordered by Bathurst, Spadina, College, and Dundas. Kensington’s lively squares, ethnic food shops, pedestrian-friendly boulevards and annual Festival of Lights lend an energetic community vibe to the area.
