The St. Lawrence Market has existed since 1803, when a local governor designated the land bounded by Front, King, Jarvis and Church streets “Market Block.” The market today is made up of three buildings: the South Market, which houses some 50 specialty vendors who sell a fresh variety of fish, grains, fruit and baked goods; the Market Gallery, which is located on the second floor of the South Market and acts as the official exhibition center for the City of Toronto Archives; and the North Market, known for its farmers’ market on Saturdays, where nearby farmers truck in seasonal produce.

If you’re into antiques, check out the North Market on Sundays, anytime between dawn and 5 p.m., where you’ll find over 80 antique dealers displaying their wares. There are also a few hot spots in the South Market, if you’re on the lookout for fresh food. Uncle George’s Place, on the lower level, offers Canada’s largest selection of sprouts, in addition to refreshing broccoli “power sprouts”, daikon radish and baby onions. Nearby, you’ll find Pasta Mia’s fine selection of balsamic vinegars and sun-dried tomatoes, as well as freshly made cannelloni and organic pasta.
