While it\u2019s home to architectural gems such as the Flatiron Building and St. Lawrence Hall, iconic landmarks such as the Hockey Hall of Fame, and numerous quaint shops and lively pubs, it\u2019s unequivocally understood that St. Lawrence Market is the heart and soul of the neighbourhood, earning the title of one of the best <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"things to do in Canada (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/things-to-do-canada\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\">things to do in Canada<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/shutterstock_220069294.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5705\"\/><figcaption>Historic St. Lawrence Market, Toronto, Canada. Kiev.Victor \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Strolling along the tree-lined cobblestone Esplanade walkways, street performers and sunny patio caf\u00e9s that lead to the massive Victorian building, I forgot for a second that I was just steps away from the soaring glass-fronted skyscrapers of the Financial District. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I entered the building, my senses were stimulated with aromas of freshly-baked bread, the vibrating bellows of an accordion, and colourful fruits and vegetables. The corridors were filled with everyone from retired grocery shoppers to young professionals on a quick lunch break, while the airy feel is accentuated by the soaring ceiling and interior brick decor. It\u2019s no wonder the St. Lawrence Market has been the area\u2019s unofficial meeting spot for over two centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating back to 1803, the building was once the Town of York\u2019s first city hall and later a prison before it was transformed into a market where people once traded everything from war canoes to the day\u2019s freshly-caught salmon from Lake Ontario, the shores of which sit no more than a couple hundred meters away. Today, it is home to over 120 specialty vendors in total, including butchers, grocers, cheese makers, food stalls, restaurants and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay to Emeril Lagasse, some of the world\u2019s finest chefs have been equally impressed with the great variety of fresh ingredients, organic options and exotic foods that St. Lawrence Market has to offer. On Sundays, a new life is injected to the area with one of Toronto\u2019s best farmers\u2019 markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/shutterstock_760765006.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5715\"\/><figcaption>Food stalls at St. Lawrence Market, Toronto, Canada.

However, it would be a pain to say the least to make a trip out to each and every ethnic enclave spread throughout the sprawling metropolis that is Toronto. Whether you\u2019re looking for to snack on pastries or you\u2019re in the mood to sit down and dine, St. Lawrence Market is where you can get a taste of all of Toronto\u2019s diverse food scene all in one centrally-located place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, however, you\u2019ll begin to see what the market means to Toronto beyond surface level. Walking through St. Lawrence Market, you\u2019ll spot Ukrainian perogies sitting next to a stall selling Indian candy. In another, Jewish bagels contrast nicely against the neighbouring vendor of local Ontario cheeses. The friendly nature of the workers mingling with one another is a beautiful reminder of Toronto\u2019s multicultural diversity coming together under a single copper-clad roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you get completely overwhelmed by the vast diversity smells and flavors, be sure to check out these most iconic stalls: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"marker-heading seeker-place seeker-place-heading\" data-latitude=\"43.648945\" data-longitude=\"-79.371788\" data-placeurl=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/XvKXpyYHs\/carousel-bakery-toronto-ontario-canada\" data-placeid=\"4615\" class=\"wp-block-seeker-place-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/XvKXpyYHs\/carousel-bakery-toronto-ontario-canada\">St. Lawrence Market: Carousel Bakery<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-latitude=\"43.648945\" data-longitude=\"-79.371788\" src=\"https:\/\/d39ghehfp8sbx4.cloudfront.net\/media\/img\/1\/6d78f4f3-da66-4ecc-bb43-625d7467d49f-1400.jpg?placeid=4615&amp;name=Carousel%20Bakery&amp;lat=43.648945&amp;lng=-79.371788\" alt=\"Carousel Bakery at St. Lawrence Market, Toronto, Canada.
