To say that we were blown away would be an understatement- the only place that compares to this is the Granville Island market, but imagine that place on steroids. The number of vendors is enormous and the choice of meats - beef, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, you name it they have it. They had food stalls that had 50 person line ups. Lots of great reviews on the web for a number of these places and it didn't matter what you were looking for - fruits, veggies, bread, seafood, sandwiches, soups, homemade pasta..... if it isn't here it hasn't been invented or you don't need it. We loved this place. I wish Ottawa could support something like this. read more

St. Lawrence Market - One of the many lanes inside the market. It was packed. - Farmers Market Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I enjoyed our visit. If we lived nearby, we would come here every week. Many food emporia. The place for meats, fish, and cheese. read more

Ranked the #1 market in world in 2012 according to National Geographic magazine, St. Lawrence Market is a staple for any Torontonian. If you want a veal cutlet sandwich, lobster, calamari, freshly baked bread, freshly squeezed orange juice, good meat, cakes, handcrafted jewelry, gourmet coffee and tea, toys, shrimp tempura, tacos, doughnuts, or anything else that's delicious or fun, this is the place to go. It's a hot spot for tourists and Torontonians alike. The north market is filled with freshly baked samosas, meat, baked goods, and produce. I go there with my parents almost every weekend. It's worth checking out. read more

tons of options, seating which is a plus, and a definite place to visit. I really enjoyed the Jerk chicken pot pie. The apple fritter which i don't have a picture of was large but not as good as others i've had. i would have taken a smaller one that was tastier. read more

Love this market with lots of high quality items - from food to interesting kitchen utensils. Prices are high everywhere but I found the prices reasonable and some vendors had sale items like one vendor had burnt or overcooked meat for sale instead of throwing it out. It wasn't perfect but still edible. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The market was impeccable. read more

We had breakfast at the little diner situated at the entrance of the market. I tried the "famous" peameal bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and found it to be tasty but quite dry. The service was nice, though. This review is for the market overall. I'm so sad that I don't live locally, I would be there every weekend. So many things to try! read more

There aren't that many places to sit indoors and the sushi is meh. I would skip the sushi. Go to Mike's for the oysters but as for the salmon sashimi and scallop sashimi, it was just alright. There is nothing to cut the flavor such as ginger and other things common at a sushi place so it can start feeling like too much. Also the cuts are butcher cuts and not done by a sushi chef who pays attention to mouth feel. The macarons were ok. The butter tart was also ok. The crust was too crumbly and thick according to my wife. She said it's supposed to be flaky. I think the best thing is to get is the oyster bar at Mike's and the smoothies. Not pictured but what my wife enjoyed the most is the pea meal bacon sandwich. She did mention it's either something you either love or hate since it is just meat and bread. read more

In our day of exploring the city, we had this market as one of the places to check out after our visit to the CN Tower. The outside gives the look at a marketplace and reminder me of Reading Terminal Market back in Philly. As soon as we walked in, all the good aromas and smells of food hit us. It was the middle of the day on a Friday, so not overly crowded but we're pretty busy and filled with people roaming around to the various food stands and shops. I ended up buying some souvenirs for family members at on the shops on the lower level and also got desserts/pastries from three of the bakeries: Blackbird Baking Co., Future Bakery & Cafe and Eve's Temptations. Though I didn't particularly care for the tart I got at Future Bakery, my pastry from Blackbird Baking and cannoli from Eve's was delicious! My friends also enjoyed their pastries from the bakeries they tried and two friends got pasta dishes from one of the vendors, which they also enjoyed. Definitely worth checking out if you are ever visiting. Make sure to have cash on hand. The places I went to all accepted credit, but some places may not and might limit the debit card use to just a Canadian debit card - not sure why but my friends ran into that at the pasta place. read more

This place is very reminiscent of Lexington market in Baltimore, Maryland. This is an open market with many food stores that are making food cooked and deli food as well. There are some stores that sell wine, desserts, and even touri knickknacks. To be honest, I thought it would be a little bit more put together in terms of places to sit down while you eat. But that wasn't the case at all. There were some standing tables all about the market and then there were some picnic tables outside. We walked around for 15 minutes, then finally decided on which places we wanted to eat at. There are so many choices here that there is definitely something for everyone. If you're in the area, put it on your list. However don't go out of your way to visit. read more

A lovely market that has bit of everything (over 200 vendors!) Super cute space with any kind of food you could want.

Ok, first of all...WOW!!! The food in this place is outta this world!!! I tried the lobster roll and the bacon sandwich with mustard. The bacon sandwich with mustard was absolutely amazing!!! I still think about that sandwich "to this day!!" lol the lobster spot was extremely fast service even though they stay with a line. This market is very lively and is a must do anytime one is in Toronto! 5 stars cause there's so much to eat here...and IT ALL looks good lol read more

Went to the newest addition to the market today, which was the Saturday farmer's market in the new building across the street! There were lots of people there and the vendors were all amazing. There was a great selection of different goods and fresh produce, which was wonderful! Lots of people came by to do their weekly grocery run and it was great to see the turnout even on a rainy day. The new structure is so beautiful and an amazing upgrade to the existing farmer's market south of the original building. Looking forward to more markets later this year! read more

Nice variety of quality eateries are available at the St Lawrence Market. I got a lobster roll and a pastel de nata. Each of those are 4 stars. I was disappointed the lobster roll had minced meat instead of chunks. The pastel de nata had a nice crunchy layered crust. The custard is thick but just a tad too sweet for my taste ( but probably not too sweet for most other people ). read more

Always a TO favorite and it never disappoints. Be sure to check out the mustard guy, eat a peameal bacon sandwich, and grab coffee from future bakery... Lots of other tempting food options abound. A great way to spend an hour or two. Short walk from the streetcar read more

What a fun find in Toronto. My friends and I strolled through this market on Saturday before heading up north for the weekend. Great selection of vendors, friendly merchants all around and lots of tasty samples. Highly recommend checking out if you're in the area.

Variety is the spice of life! Or however the old saying goes. That is exactly what you will find at St. Lawrence Market. So many options, so much deliciousness, so many aromas... how can one choose! This place is crawling with options to grub! I truly enjoy a good, quality indoor market with options to sit-in or grab-and-go. It was located in walking distance, just a few blocks from my hotel. I'd never heard of it before and my eyes beamed with glee and anticipation as I approached this tall brick building with wonderment of what's inside. And even more to my surprise, I discovered there's not only one, but two levels. In that regard, it reminded me a little of the Pike Place Market in Seattle (which I visited for the first time 2 months prior). One day I had Octopus from Buster's Sea Cove (first floor), and another day I ventured downstairs to try chinese food. There were so many more eateries I did not get to try, but I'll fix that on my next visit. There are also gift shops and trinket kiosks on the lower level. One thing I appreciated most is its proximity to where i was staying. If i had any moments of indecisiveness about where to go/what to eat, this place is a great option! Toronto has an incredible foodie scene, from upscale to fast finds. Their food tastes fresher than the states. Hate to admit it, but it's true. read more

St Lawrence Market is a tourist must ... You can seriously eat yourself into a food coma. I had to try the Pea Meal bacon sando (carousel bakery) ....as it has been hyped for so long...it is very good btw. The owner is a bit cray and offered to knock my teeth out...but what the hell. Great place to grab all kinds of foods. Loved my Lobster roll at Buster's Sea cove...this place is a gem and all the foods are fantastic. The only place I truly disliked was downstairs at eve's temptations...perhaps the worst baked goods I have ever had read more

Cool little place to stop by and check out if you're in Toronto. So many vendors and stalls and a huge variety of fruits and veggies, breads, meats, seafood, desserts, etc. if you want to eat freshly prepared food, they pretty much have all kinds of foods like Italian, Greek, Asian, etc. There are two levels, so don't forget to go downstairs where they have more shops and food items. There are also some tables to eat inside and some outside upstairs and downstairs, but it is pretty packed. Came here on a Saturday so it was really packed and busy, but not sure if it is always this busy and crowded. read more

Rode rental bikes from hotel to St Lawrence Market. When i searched "things to do in Toronto", this place was mentioned . If you were staying at an airbnb that had a kitchen , this place would be good to get cheeses, meats and vegetables. I guess I assumed there would be a lot of restaurants and food options but there wasn't many. Looking back, I would have skipped this place and visit just for picture taking but not to eat. read more

My gf and I visited St. Lawrence Market for the first time when she purchased tickets for a food tour that took us through here all the way to the distillery district. I instantly fell in love with all the fresh produce and wonderful meats and treats on sale. We got to sample a bunch of vendors within the market on that tour and we vowed to come back on our own some other time. Recently, she brought me back here for my bday and we got a chance to try a bunch of new vendors and fill our tummies. Lots of hustle and bustle and there are definitely multiple vendors overlapping by selling identical items (ex. portuguese tarts). There's apparently a 3rd floor too??? but I'm not sure if there's any actual vendors there outside the basement and main floor. read more

After arriving in Toronto, wanted to take the advantage of nice weather to walk around the city. I stumbled upon St. Lawrence Market. I thought it was like a farmer's market, but it's more than that. They are prepared foods that you can eat here, groceries, essentials, specialities, etc. I love this kind of market (but where I live doesn't have one). It is indoor, so it will fit for all seasons.

Don't forget to go downstairs where you'll find many more options. Next time will be the Godfather sandwich. read more

This was quite a collection of various vendors and amazing sights and smells.

Nice place to spend up to a couple of hours on goods to purchase and stands with food. The goods to purchase are mostly food/food-related but there are a few stands offering kitchenware, cards crafts, jewelry, etc. We didn't have any but the seafood options looked very fresh. Note there is a downstairs with more retail and food options. There's a lovely and coffee spot which looked like was frequented by many locals. There are some outdoor areas as well to sit down and eat your food. Can get crowded and hot/stuffy. read more

Totally adored this market! It is an indoor market with plenty of stalls that offer many types of goods and souvenirs. We had a great time browsing the many stalls and finding some one of a kind as well as cool gifts. There was a good bagel shop, found some cured meats and some cheeses, found some maple candies and maple syrup of course. We also found great pastries. Parking was fairly easy. There was paid parking within blocks of the market. I loved the look of the outside. It was gorgeous. And while the market was indoors, it wasn't too crowded or loud. I really enjoyed going and I would definitely go ahead. read more

This market is very very big, multiple stories. There's so many things to see and choose from. From local jewelry to fresh pastries and coffee, there a lot to try.

The market outside has really fresh produce which I enjoyed to see. Parking can be a little hectic but once you find one you're all set! read more

I come here everyday for fresh fruit and vegetables. Sometime I buy flowers and plants.

Wasn't exactly blown away by this place. Honestly, I thought it was just 'mid'--nothing that stood out as amazing. And on top of that, they're closed on Mondays? Annoying when you're googling a historic spot and find out it's off-limits at the start of the week. Maybe others have had a better experience, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me read more

This was such a neat market. There is something for everyone. We were able to find street parking about 2 blocks away with no problem. We wandered around the market and bought pastries, meats and cheeses, souvenirs, syrup, all sorts of different items from different vendors. We did not sit down and have a meal and we spent about an hour walking the market. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon and buy some neat items. Some vendors were very friendly and welcoming. I experienced one that charged me $60 instead of $6 and when I said I wanted a receipt he was upset with me. I said I wanted a refund, to which he would only give me some cash back. I told him that's why I wanted my receipt. I won't knock off any stars for that situation as that was the individual vendor's issue, not the market itself. I recommend coming earlier rather than later as the traffic getting out of the area was quite difficult by about 5pm. Overall it was a great place to stop, walk around, and do some shopping. read more

My friend and I came here on a Saturday morning. I got breakfast at one of the food stalls here, and we spent a few hours walking around.
