Eat Well in Toronto

This city is flush with eating options. We’ve honed in on a number of athletic-minded candidates, but if you prefer spontaneity and are looking for something truly unique to Toronto, head over to Kensington Market, just west of Chinatown. This eclectic, multi-cultural community boasts some of the city’s best ethnic cuisine, along with coffee shops, bakeries, boutiques and specialty grocers. Alternatively, the 27-block Bloor-Yorkville neighborhood is the place for fashionable boutiques, trendy restaurants, art galleries and other cool urban diversions.
