Toronto's Must-Visit Historic Market Before You Leave

📍 St. Lawrence Market (Est. 1803) A 220-year-old culinary landmark ranked by National Geographic as one of the world's best food markets, where you can shop for groceries and feast on ready-to-eat international delights. 🔥 Second Floor Highlights 🌭 Sausage King A sausage lover's paradise! Features German, Polish, and Italian varieties. The garlic-flavored one is a must-try—and yes, the staff are easy on the eyes too 😉. 🥩 SK Quality Meats Specializes in grass-fed, hormone-free meats. Their smoked pork belly and honey-glazed char siu are to die for—freshly sliced right before your eyes. 🦞 Buster’s Sea Cove The star of the market! Their legendary lobster roll is packed with meat and perfectly seasoned. Pair it with coleslaw and pickles. Also try the lobster bisque and seafood paella. 🥯 Carousel Bakery Home of the iconic Peameal Bacon Sandwich (under $10 after tax). Simple yet addictive—thick, juicy pork loin on a soft bun. 🥖 St. Urban Bagel Famous for Montreal-style bagels, wood-fired and handmade daily. Skip the premade salmon bagel—buy fresh salmon slices and their ultra-smooth garlic & herb cream cheese separately for better value. 🥐 Future Bakery An Eastern European gem. Their flaky croissants ($3!) taste freshly baked when warmed. Cakes are sweet but not overwhelming—perfect for Instagram. 🔥 First Floor Must-Tries 🍔 Uno Mustachio The #1 spot for massive Italian subs (eggplant, meatballs, or sausage). Their fried chicken cutlet and eggplant slices are bigger than your face! ☕ Everyday Gourmet Coffee Roasters A market staple since 1979. Their lattes come with cute heart art 💗—worth the wait in line. 🍜 Quick Bites Not into Western food? Try Yip’s Kitchen (Chinese) or Quik Sushi (Japanese) for fast Asian flavors. #TorontoFoodMarket #HistoricEats #FoodieHeaven
