Great fun to visit, browse, and sample. Numerous food and produce stalls: meats, vegetables and fruits, cheeses, charcuteries, bakeries, seafood, wines, and other specialties. A shout-out to Marche Marie where we scored terrific caneles (one of our most favorite - and hard to find - dessert pastries); and to Carnicero's whose delicious samples led me to purchase a trio of different cured sausages to smuggle back to the States. Plenty of choices to grab a snack or to-go meal; there are also plenty of other eateries, bars, and cafes in the area too. Well worth visiting for the foodie.
Favorite place to visit when I'm in Toronto. I love trying to find the perfect meal to satisfy. My cravings and today's was lobster and lobster. Lobsta roll lobsta bisque. Find what you need. I did!
We did a food tour here on a Sunday morning at 11am. It's pretty crowded inside but worth it! There's so many different food stalls and I love that there's only small businesses in there and not chains. The lines for the bathrooms are insane so try to go beforehand or afterwards!
It's fun to walk around the St Lawrence Market, all two floors of it, just taking it all in. Heads up that, despite Toronto being a huge immigrant city (50% of its population not born in Canada), ethnic foods are not well represented at the market. But still, this is an exciting place to explore. One of my favorite shops was Mike's Fish Market, which had an incredible variety of smoked fish on display. I was especially attracted to the smoked artic char, but at $50/pound? Even in Canadian dollars, that was intimidating. Oh well, I thought, I will just content myself with a bagel and lox from St Urbain - all the reviews I had read raved about it. So I got in the very long line, and waited and waited and despaired. If you are like me, after a while you start to feel the indignity. Then I had a brilliant idea. I went back to Mike's and asked for four slices of artic char. The price: $8 and change. Then I went to one of the bakeries and bought a Montreal bagel for 0.98c. I found a place at one of the group tables, and made my own bagel and lox! It came to about the same price as I would have paid at St Urbain's, and, although it did not come with the fixings, I had the premium fish I had been lusting after. I am a bit of a purist when it comes to smoked fish - who would want to murder its taste with cream cheese anyway?
Lawrence Market was really cool. It reminded me of Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. It was full of locals, shops, and food. The food we tried was very interesting but I can't say I would eat it again (lol). The environment was chill and everyone was polite.
This is a must try, but be warned that it was be extremely crowded at lunch time with limited seating. Some lines move much faster than others as well. There's a large variety of options including shwarma, pasta, oysters, lobster, peirogies and too many others to list. I highly recommend the oysters as they were somme of the best we've had.
St. Lawrence market was definitely one of the highlights of the entire Toronto trip. We loved getting to walk around and see the different food options and loved all the seating areas from the outdoor benches to the indoor seating to the seating downstairs in front of the big screens to watch the soccer matches. The food was delicious at all the places we tried, and everyone was servicing so fast for the amount of people in line.
This market was on our list to check out while visiting Toronto. It was pretty large with two floors. There lots of different vendors. We tried our first ice wine tasting, got oysters, and also got a flight of beers to share from downstairs. The people from the vendors we interacted with were courteous. Everything we tried was great. A great market to check out.
We went on a food tour here while visiting for the weekend from Pittsburgh. Such a cool and unique space! Definitely try the Peameal Bacon sandwich and the fruit from Ponesse Foods!
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!
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.
Loved the selection of this market, although my favorite in Montreal is still superior. Would gladly come back for fresh food options.
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.
Large market with lots of food and shop offerings Highlights: - Variety of food from sweets to butchers and everything in between - Savory fave: the pea bacon sandwich at Carniceros - Sweet fave: Snickers butter tart at Carousel Bakery - Very large: 2 floors and also a building across the street Midlights - Gotta plan ahead or can get overwhelmed - Can get stuffy and warm downstairs Lowlights - Very limited seating - Didn't get to try all we wanted with limited stomachs participating ;-) read more
Really fun place to walk around & get delicious bites. We got two sandwiches & two pasties, juice, and coffee all from different vendors. All were good. Great option for easy lunch. The food is ready fast, and people who work here are generally nice. Some seating area but limited. read more
Very large space! My relatives who live in Toronto took me here. First we checked out the farmer's marker area, where my cousin was able to get olive oil for home that she sampled, and I was able to get local maple syrup for myself and for souvenirs. I would love to have a farmer's market with this size and selection near me! The vendors were friendly and helpful and everything looked delicious. Then we went next door to the food vendor building for an AMAZING Montreal style bagel with lox and cream cheese from St. Urbain. 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
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

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

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
We went here for the Christmas market after the Santa Claus parade. Two floors plus a tent of amazing booths. From the food to the clothes to the old-fashioned accessories and decorations. I strongly recommend bringing a bag! A must visit during November and December. read more

A lovely market that has bit of everything (over 200 vendors!) Super cute space with any kind of food you could want. I loved the green juice from St. Lawrence juice bar and various pastries from Eve's temptations. If I was in town longer I definitely would have picked out some fresh produce!! read more

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

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

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

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
