What you can expect

Step into Toronto – Canada’s largest city, where history, culture and flavour collide. From its early days as a cholera-struck outpost to a thriving metropolis, Toronto has always been a city on the move – and its food tells the story.

Begin in Old Town Toronto, where streets follow the original 19th-century grid. Meet your guide and stroll through a neighbourhood full of charm and culinary surprises.

Start with locally roasted coffee, the brew that fueled workers and social movements. Visit St. Lawrence Market, a landmark of Toronto’s food scene for over 200 years. Sample the famous peameal bacon sandwich and hear the story of Canada Dry Ginger Ale – a Canadian invention during Prohibition. Enjoy a butter tart, one of Canada’s iconic sweets. Learn how immigration, rebellion and reinvention shaped Toronto’s streets and plates.

End at a local pub, where you can buy a craft beer and toast to Toronto – past, present and future.
