Best Markets in Toronto: Canada's Top Food Markets
Toronto's markets reflect the city's diversity, offering a mix of traditional farmers markets and large public markets. Here are the standouts.
St. Lawrence Market
One of North America's most recognized public markets and a Toronto institution.
What to expect:
- Meats, cheeses, and baked goods
- Strong vendor variety across two main buildings
- A Saturday farmers market across the street
Evergreen Brick Works Market
A sustainability-focused market set inside a former brick factory turned environmental community center. Local farms, eco-conscious vendors, and a Saturday-morning crowd that takes its food seriously.
Kensington Market
More eclectic and community-driven than a traditional farmers market, Kensington is a multi-block neighborhood lined with independent grocers, bakeries, and food shops. It's part market, part walkable food destination.
Why Toronto Markets Stand Out
- Diverse food offerings reflecting Toronto's multicultural population
- Strong local and global influence in vendor selection
- Year-round indoor options alongside seasonal outdoor markets
Similar to U.S. Markets
Toronto markets share many traits with U.S. farmers markets:
- Direct-to-consumer sales
- Strong community focus
- Emphasis on regional, seasonal food
