Maple Syrup

The sap of Ontario’s sugar maples is made into delicious pancake syrup and candies, sold at farmers’ markets and shops.
Market Gallery

Artifacts and photographs of Toronto’s history are exhibited in free, themed shows, in the old council chamber tucked on the second floor of the South Market. See the market from a different perspective, through the large window looking out onto the floor.
Montreal Bagels

Locals love St. Urbain Bakery’s dense, chewy buns, in the South Market. The bagel-cooking method – boil then bake in a wood-fired oven – hails from French-Canadian city Montreal.
Ms Emma Designs

Specializing in limited-edition women’s clothing made from exquisite fabrics, mainly wool and silk. These clothes are not mass-produced, yet remain affordable. One of several locations.
North Market

Buy fruits, vegetables, and herbs directly from those who grow them. Organic items and home-baked treats, too.
Ontario Wines

Sample award-winning wines at vineyards throughout the Niagara Peninsula before stocking up for the home cellar (see Inniskillin Wines).
Outdoor Stands

Sprawling on the sidewalks outside the North Market, these produce and flower stalls only add to the boisterous atmosphere of market Saturdays. For the best selection, arrive early in the morning.
Peameal Bacon Sandwiches

Quintessentially Canadian, and perfect to fuel up for the day, the kaiser buns at South Market’s Carousel Bakery are stuffed with salty, peameal-encrusted pork.
Pusateri’s

Food afficionados will love the luxury grocery items such as stuffed quail, foie gras , caviar, and truffle oil, and delicious prepared foods.
Queen Street East

Lovers of vintage clothes, radios and vinyl, and furniture from the 1960s and 1970s – some from well-known designers – will have a shopping fest along this eclectic stretch. Perhaps inspired by their trendy retro design neighbors, modern home-decor shops and interior design firms are also making this area home (see Leslieville).
