The market has been part of Toronto for as long as there's been a Toronto. It's seen it all and was around when the Leafs used to still win the Stanley Cup. There's no denying the quality of the food - anything sub par would just not survive as the competition is fierce. Not to be missed are the sausages... More

A must see in Toronto. There are lots of food vendors if you want a fast lunch. There is also food marketing opportunities with very fresh meats and veggies. Lots of people watching but very crowded as well. There are also a few nick knacks as well. The building is also surrounded by street vendors.

Great meat counters, cheese counters, all kinds of food on different levels. Too bad I could not bring any of it back with me to the US! Lots of food stands and sandwich places. A bit out of the way, but if you're a tourist, a must-see. And if you live in Toronto, good for you for having such a... More

We went to St. Lawrence Market to grab a brunch and explore. Since this was our first stop of the day, it wasn't practical to buy any food to take home and then carry it around all day in the heat. For a shopping trip, it appears to be a great choice for fresh food and variety. I could see... More

WOW!! What a great market for foodies. A must visit when in Toronto. Don't be afraid to ask for samples!!! A great day is a visit to the market and then take a stroll (about 20 minutes) to the Distillery District.

Nice indoor market. Upstairs (street level) is fresh food, veg and meat. Quality is good and prices low. Downstairs you'll find some tourist stalls and a few eateries etc. Nice low key place to wander and nice old building too.

crowded, but very good; went on a freezing day, but the smells and people were great. When we visit Toronto again we'll drop by one more time.

When i visit Toronto and plan to do some cooking, this is where I love to shop. The Market has the most wonderful selection of meats, fish and seafood, poultry, the best sausages in the North Building, huge selection of cheeses and so on. I could go on about the coffee, teas, spices, vegetables and, and and... but it is... More
