5 Tastes Of Toronto

Even before local food took off as a restaurant menu inspiration, Toronto was home to some of the province's (even the country's) iconic ingredients and tastes.

Like the market, some of these establishments have been around for decades, while others have just joined the Toronto scene. Each place puts a strong emphasis on the importance of creating authentic Canadian cuisine in its own way, whether this means sustaining classics or pushing the known culinary boundaries.
