St. Lawrence Market

City Of Toronto Public Market · Toronto, Ontario

St. Lawrence Market is Toronto's best-known food market, in Old Toronto on Front Street East, a short walk from Union Station. The South Market is a large indoor hall with dozens of butchers, fishmongers, bakers, cheese counters and cafes, while the North Market building across the street holds a Saturday farmers' market (confirm) and other events on other days. There has been a public market on this spot for over two centuries. It suits food lovers, families, self-caterers and anyone who wants a local lunch. The peameal bacon sandwich is a local classic, and queues for it grow on Saturday mornings. Prices are fixed, so there is no haggling. Many stalls close on Monday, and the South Market has often been closed that day, so confirm the days before you come. It is crowded on Saturdays, small aisles fill quickly, and seating is limited. Allow one to two hours, and plan to eat there instead of just looking.
