St. Lawrence food market is a traditional covered city centre market with a permanent food hall with deli foods from all the different ethnicities represented in Toronto (hundreds! its fantastically diverse) and a Farmer's Market on Saturdays in an adjoining hall.
THe first is exciting because you'll get a hold of great ethnic foods and all the stalls allow you to taste and try things out, check out the hot chipotle dips at the mexican counter, or Bubble TEa at the Japanese diner...
The latter is exciting because it showcases local Ontario farmer's produce, including some incredibly shaped and coloured gourds (Oh my gourd! exclaimed my friend...), purple peppers, emu oil (as you do...) and of course, peameal bacon, sizzling hot and slathered in wholegrain shallot mustard from a counter which sells over 100 varieties of the condiment!!!
Chat with local farmers, hear some great buskers and organise a great packed lunch to take with you to the lake-front.
