What to Expect
What does it mean to taste Canada? The Canadian Food Discovery tour begins at the Hockey Hall of Fame and leads you straight into the heartâand stomachâof Toronto: the St. Lawrence Market. This 3-hour walking tour is part history lesson, part snack safari, and all proudly Canadian.
Youâll meet your guide steps from the cityâs founding corner, then head into the bustling St. Lawrence neighbourhood to unpack the deeper stories behind the dishes we call âCanadian.â Along the way, weâll nibble on iconic eats like peameal bacon, maple treats, regional cheeses, and moreâwhile learning how food traditions arrived here, adapted here, and continue to evolve with every new wave of migration.
From Indigenous ingredients to immigrant ingenuity, this tour highlights the rich cultural layers that feed our national palate. Your guide wonât just point out whatâs tastyâtheyâll dive into what it means, where it comes from, and who gets credit for inventing it (spoiler: thatâs often contested). This tour ends at the market with full stomachs and even fuller minds. If youâve ever wondered how butter tarts, bannock, or bagels connect to Canadian identityâthis is your bite-sized entry point into the story. Come hungry for snacks and insight.
