St. Lawrence Market

Located in the heart of Old Toronto, the St. Lawrence Market is one of the city’s most enduring landmarks — a gathering place that has connected residents and visitors alike for over two centuries. Established in 1803, it began as a modest public market serving the early town of York and has since evolved into a cultural and culinary cornerstone of Toronto life.

Today, the market spans three historic buildings — the South Market, the North Market, and St. Lawrence Hall — together housing more than 120 merchants, artisans, and food vendors. From fresh produce and local meats to cheeses, baked goods, and handmade specialties, it offers an atmosphere that blends old-world tradition with the vibrant energy of a modern city.

Markets like St. Lawrence are more than places to shop — they are places of connection and continuity. Each exchange, aroma, and taste tells a story of community, craftsmanship, and the simple joy of gathering.
