Hotels near St Lawrence Market

St Lawrence Market has operated continuously on this site since 1803 and was voted the world's best food market by National Geographic in 2012. The Beaux-Arts South Market building (1845) houses 120+ vendors selling fresh fish, meat, cheese, baked goods, prepared foods, and produce. The neighbouring North Market hosts the Saturday farmers' market and Sunday antique market. Combined, the markets are Toronto's most important food destination.

Iconic stalls: Carousel Bakery (the original peameal bacon sandwich, 10 CAD - Toronto's signature dish), Buster's Sea Cove (Atlantic lobster rolls), Uno Mustachio (Italian sandwiches), and St Urbain Bagels (Montreal-style bagels). The Market Kitchen on the 2nd floor runs cooking classes. Free to wander. Open Tuesday-Friday 09:00-19:00, Saturday 07:00-17:00; closed Sundays and Mondays.

Pro Tip: Order the peameal bacon sandwich at Carousel Bakery on the upper level - Toronto's signature dish (cornmeal-crusted back bacon on a roll), 10 CAD. The Saturday morning farmers' market opens at 05:00 - serious shoppers and chefs arrive before sunrise.
