Shopping the St. Lawrence Market

Posted by Mary Luz Mejia Oct 13, 2006

What's not to love about a market that houses some of the finest, freshest and most flavourful food around?! From caviar to gourmet mustards and preserves- the St. Lawrence Market is home to some hard-core food artisans and it's the one-stop shop choice for just about everyone in the city who loves good food. Some of Toronto's finest chefs source their raw goods there. Acclaimed Chef Jamie Kennedy even alters his daily tapas offerings (for his Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar- just down the road from the market) depending on what's fresh and seasonal at the market. For food enthusiasts everywhere, this is a definite stop on a long list of great spots throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

You think "ah, but she's biased. She's from Toronto." OK- so don't take my word for it. Check out Boston-based Jacqueline Church's missive in Gourmet Food to hear the other side of the story. And I won't even say I told you so!
