Brews, Bacon, and Butter Tarts

Discover Toronto's history and culture on a guided food tour through Old Town Toronto. Starting in the historic heart of Canada's largest city, your local guide leads a relaxed stroll through the 19th-century grid, blending stories of rebellion, immigration, and reinvention with delicious stops. Enjoy a locally roasted coffee and proceed to St. Lawrence Market, a 200-year-old food landmark. Here, you'll taste the iconic peameal bacon sandwich (or a hearty vegetarian option).
As you explore the Market District's architectural gems, you'll hear the surprising Canadian story of Canada Dry Ginger Ale and its role during Prohibition. Next, sample the butter tart, one of Canada's most beloved, flaky, and gooey desserts. Your guide will share how epidemics, waves of newcomers, and social reformers shaped the city's past and its modern cuisine. The tour concludes at a beloved neighbourhood pub where you can buy a local craft beer to toast Toronto.
Come hungry for both the food and the stories that built the city!
