Shopping Fresh: The Top Food Markets in the World

St. Lawrence Market – Toronto, Canada

Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market is another market that has stood on its current spot for generations – almost 210 years! It is THE destination for Canadian products. If you’re hoping to visit Canada and are planning on leaving without sampling some maple syrup or Canadian cheese, think again.

The market is open every day except Sunday and Monday, but the best day to go is Saturday. That’s the day the main market hall is open, as well as the farmer’s market in the summer season. Get there early – think before 8 a.m. – so you can have your pick of the freshest local produce. Since Canada is such a multicultural place, you’ll find everything ranging from organic, Mennonite-butchered meat to vegan samosas.
