Over 120 specialty merchants await you at Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market. For each of our vendors, merchants and artisans, the Market is their life’s work. Their pride, care and singular passion is the reason, 208 years later, the Market continues to thrive.
The St. Lawrence Market is a place where the authenticity of truly great food and shopkeepers who care reign above all else. It’s one of the world’s great markets – each merchant a square on a lively and authentic patch quilt. The mothers, sons, fathers and daughters whose hard work and passion for food and their craft make up the collective story of the Market.
Since 1803, the St. Lawrence Market has been the community’s beating heart and culinary focal point of the city of Toronto. It’s the living symbol and anchor of the neighbourhood and for the families who live here. It’s a place to connect, to share stories and, of course, to taste and to discover great food.
The St. Lawrence Market Complex today is comprised of three main buildings: The South Market, the North Market and St. Lawrence Hall. The main and lower levels of the South Market contain over 120 specialty vendors, known for the variety and freshness of their fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, grains, baked goods and dairy products, as well as for the uniqueness of the non-food items for sale. The second floor of the South Market is home to the Market Gallery, an exhibition space for the City of Toronto’s Cultural Services.
The North Market is primarily known for its Saturday Farmers’ Market while St. Lawrence Hall, built in 1850, today houses retail businesses on the ground floor and City offices on the second floor.
You’re here, and part of the story. There’s so much to see, taste and discover – now, where to begin?
