"As one of world's best food markets and the city's largest, St. Lawrence is a historic landmark downtown Toronto. The massive 19th century brick building is home to over 120 specialty vendors offering multiple bakeries, flower shops, and a variety of unique artisans along with poultry, dairy, produce, and seafood stands. On Saturdays, the Farmers' Market opens in the north building (directly across the street) where shoppers can find even more local selection. We recommend hitting up Buster's Sea Cove in the back South-West corner for their famous fish and chips and homemade coleslaw. Trust us, it's worth the wait!" - Jacknife

"St. Lawrence Market is perhaps the most famous market in Toronto, and locals regularly shop its stalls for produce, meats, cheeses, and more. While the focus of your trip should be browsing the dozens of food stalls, it’s interesting to take a look at its architecture, too. Though the current main building was erected in 1902, part of the Old City Hall, which dates to 1845, was incorporated into it. There’s also The Market Kitchen, a cooking school and event space where you can take culinary classes or partake in special hands-on dinners that include shopping the market for ingredients." - Stefanie Waldek
