The Great Canadian Food Tour - Distillery + St. Lawrence Market Discount Tickets

Overview

The same faces, year after year. No rotating roster of seasonal guides — William and Jusep have hosted these streets together since 2019, long enough that the shop owners greet them by name. Guides point at things; Insiders let you in. The families are friends, not stops. Every kitchen is family-owned, and nearly every family came to Toronto from somewhere else. Four of our six original Kensington stops are still with us — because they became family. Storytelling, not a checklist. Over an unhurried couple of hours we tell the story behind every plate: how the dish arrived, who carried it, and what it became once it found a home here. Generous, never garnish. Small groups, tastings that add up to a full meal, and room to actually talk. Come hungry. Because we know these kitchens personally, we can do what scripted tours can't — including vegetarian and pescatarian options on request. Just tell us when you book.
