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 heart—and stomach—of Toronto: the St. Lawrence Market. This 3-hour walking tour is part history lesson, part snack safari, and all proudly Canadian. 


You’ll meet your guide steps from the city’s founding corner, then head into the bustling St. Lawrence neighbourhood to unpack the deeper stories behind the dishes we call ‘Canadian.’ Along the way, we’ll nibble on iconic eats like peameal bacon, maple treats, regional cheeses, and more—while 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 won’t just point out what’s tasty—they’ll dive into what it means, where it comes from, and who gets credit for inventing it (spoiler: that’s often contested). This tour ends at the market with full stomachs and even fuller minds. If you’ve ever wondered how butter tarts, bannock, or bagels connect to Canadian identity—this is your bite-sized entry point into the story. Come hungry for snacks and insight.
