Absolutely scrumptious food. I would recommend anybody and everybody to come here and give this a try. You can get food from many different cuisines. My personal favorite place is Munchies. It's a bright yellow colored outlet and the lady who runs it is lovely! Try their Mutton Blanks and bang bang shrimp!
There's a new African/Carribbean place that's opened up and has amazing Fish Barbecue. Fresh fish, filling and delicious! Try the Potato Twisters and Strawberry cheesecake crepe at Bites as well!
These were my personal favorites when I visited but I haven't had the chance to try other places yet. Diana's Kitchen looks promising and I hope to go there next! Looking forward to my next visit. 😁💕🫶🏽

World Food Market exceeded all my expectations when it came to dining out. The diverse selection of cuisines offered ensured there was something for everyone, making it an ideal spot for group outings or solo dining adventures. The nook where I settled in provided the perfect ambiance for enjoying my meal in peace, away from the hustle and bustle around me. From flavorful dishes to cozy seating arrangements, this place truly has everything you need for a memorable dining experience. A definite must-visit if you appreciate good food and charming nooks!
Nice selection of foods from various cultures. We ate from two different trucks. The peri peri fries from the bite were my favorite. My daughter had the Philly steak poutine fries and they are good also. Covered seating is available which was great on a hot day like when we listened. The truck owners were friendly also
This reminds me of the Chawpati markets from India. So many different options of food and a common eating place in the outdoors. I enjoy the mumbai sandwich and chai the most whenever I am here. Karma’s kitchen’s manchurian rice is very comforting. You can also get chole bhature and dosas. There is another mexican fruit shop serving amazing fruits with spicy seasoning. If you roam around, you can find other options like churros, jalebi, rolls, and what not. The seating is great too but at times it can feel a little compact but I am okay as long as the food is good 😌
This was a really cool experience. My family and I were up in Toronto for the day for the Blue Jays game, and needed something to do for a few hours. We were told by some
Locals to check out KM.
I would compare it to East Village in Manhattan. Walker friendly, bike/skateboard friendly, Smaller streets, many places to eat, a lot of street art, random music playing, and an all round good vibe. Loved the thrift stores and all the local small shops. Only a block away from Chinatown.
There was so many different options for food.
There was some street parking if you can find a spot, but there was also a good amount of parking decks. Unlike NYc, parking was reasonable. Found a parking deck about $12 for 3 hours.
So if you are in Toronto and you are looking for a really chill area to hang out, look no further.

Food is good. Take away and prices are affordable. If you want to eat there, you have to sit in a cold place in front of the food servers. Not good for cold weather.
Dog-friendly shop with friendly staff! Lots of interesting little local goods to look at if you’re gift shopping. I liked their Drake stickers!
Great free spot to check out in the city and makes for a great date spot. They have a farmers market on Saturday and when I came on a Sunday we stumbled upon a group of dog trainers. Surrounded by a very nice trail that you could spend an entire day walking around. There is a paid parking lot and head up it can get busy.
Would recommend coming here to explore.

Lovely little indie market, full of good gifts and deals!
its a nice place to bring child to go there to hiking or exploring the nature. The parking is 2.5 per hour. 8 dollars full day. It’s better to go in the morning since they don’t have too much parking spots. They have children programs on Saturday too
Bit pricey compared to other restaurants nearby but the selection is pretty diverse. The owners are so nice and always up for a chat! Worth going to try different cuisines.
Great store with all kinds of art, souvenirs and other cool gifts. Highly recommend stopping by on your walk through Kensington Market. The owners are great too!
The best place to find a gift in Kensington Market. The t-shirt fit perfectly and the owner can help you with anything you are looking for. Highly recommend this place!!!
If parking was free, this would be a better experience. It's a short hike with some nice scenery. $8 weekend parking. The brick buildings offer local shopping, farmer markets and food vendors. Disappointing that at the top of the hill, the courtyard was vandalized with graffiti and tons of garbagem
Evergreen Brick works is a former quarry and industrial site that has been converted into a city park. The industrial buildings have been restored and converted into an environmentally focused community and cultural center. It is an excellent destination for a hike with family in an urban setting. During the fall season, it becomes the perfect place to experience the beautiful and vibrant autumn hues. The trails are easy to hike with young kids and provide a spectacular view of the changing foliage. The view point at the end of trail offers a great view of the Toronto city skyline from a distance. The dense plantation in the Don Valley area offers a beautiful natural scenic view. Overall it is a great place to spend quality time in the outdoors in the middle of the city for tourists and residents alike.
We’ve gone back here for many years now. During the summer, it’s a beautiful lush space sprawling with beautiful flora and fauna. In the fall, it’s nice to walk about viewing the beautiful colours. And during the winter, we enjoy having hot cocoa while watching the skaters go around happily about. This is such a treasure nestled in the middle of a bustling city. We especially enjoy the weekend markets. The artisan and vintage market has always given us little treasure finds. Every time we have family or guests from abroad, we always make sure that they get to visit and experience this place as well. Always such a good place to be 😊
The evergreen’s Saturday Farmer’s Market is a great family friendly spot or if you just want to get some valuable organic groceries. We also tried their freshly baked cremini pizza with their ingredients. The taste was super incredible, because everything was fresh and organic. You can also hike around the Don Valley river park. But sadly the weather wasn’t good and there weren’t a lot of fall colours. You can take the bus from Davisville subway and it takes you to the park within 20 minutes
Man Kensington demarcus just awesome everybody is nice and all the shops and stores found several nice things some great coffee house easy parking even with the construction Ripley's just to walk and get fresh fruits foods about anything that you want really really cool almost like a French market type of situation in Toronto
Art, food, and atmosphere, it's like traveling to a different country inside Canada. Seven Lives Tacos is worth the wait, Gus Tacos and their patio is a neat spot too.
Lovely getaway from the city..they have a wonderful Saturday farmers market although I found it a bit expensive compared to the one I visit often at St.lawrence...the back area has a nice area to stroll and hike.. there is a lookout with downtown view
7 lives Taco, lived up to our expectations. Food was hot delicious and served in good time. Place to eat inside but it was a take out day. Pricing was great!
Vendors please read especially, I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did. This venue is a SCAM for both customers and vendors. Customers have reviewed a year ago on how antique vendors would SCAM them with fake rugs and watches… which is unacceptable. It’s not worth the trek to go since they only have 10 vendors as well… no increases from last year.
Nothing has changed even from that and in fact, as I learned from the assistant manager, those vendors don’t even pay their fees or parking unless they feel like it so this shows you how deep they are in this mess and how they got played themselves. These people scammed me out of a vendor fee, I asked for a cancellation and refund and I have not gotten a response. I was kind about things but clearly this company doesn’t understand kindness.
Owner is extremely rude as well and makes fun of new vendors, she is VERY unprofessional. Along with the coordinator hides and never shows his face. New small businesses, I think you deserve better and you get nothing for how much you pay.
Also, I was a part of homophobic harassment at the Sunday Market, letting everyone know this company cares about the gay dollar more than gay people, they are only gay friendly to earn money. That’s very dangerous so let’s all be careful and not be around people like them. They did nothing to keep me, my staff, or my customers safe. Almost all places generally have a zero-tolerance policy, just a new thing for the Parkdale Hall to learn about.
If anyone is an upcoming business, having a wedding, or is looking for a event space, please consider elsewhere since the last thing you would want is a business to ignore you when you have problems. Best of luck to you Parkdale Hall, you will need it. You could have done the right thing but judging by how much of a failure your Sunday Market is… you clearly don’t know how to do that.

Lots of shops and eateries. Also many cool houses with some interesting street arts. Certainly worth a visit
Folks if you haven’t been here then you’re missing out. Lived in Toronto for 25 yrs and can’t believe I haven’t gone. Great food, Great stores and pleasant of happy people. The food market is awesome there as well with so many choices. Love it 😊
Some nice products but some of the prices ridiculously expensive especially the meat booth. Same quality of product at other markets as much less. The Samosa booth is a little expensive but she has some amazing combinations that are not usually seen in samosas
Ok if you’re passing by but don’t bother going out of your way to come to this place. Only 10 or so vendors
Exploring the city of #Toronto one place at the time. Great place for hikes with the family and lots of family friendly activities on the weekend. They have a cute kids garden as well. The greenhouse also has lots of beautiful plants 🌱
We love the cafe as well for coffee and treats. Lots to see and do whether you’re walking the trails on your own or going with a group. In the winter they have a lovely skating rink that is open to the public for free skating and my kids love it there! A must visit spot if you’re in the GTA!

Had a great time checking out the local shops. There are so many different food options to choose from. Everyone was very friendly.
World food market is lively place to visit and a variety of food dishes you can get. You can get Indian, South Indian, Chinese and many more cuisines in there. It is lovely place with a great ambience to visit and relax. Though it is bit a little crowded as we can guess from the Toronto. It’s the weekend plus the Dundas street we can except this much. Must an awesome place to enjoy and visit with your friends and family.
I liked the vibrant atmosphere! It's conveniently located near Yonge & Dundas Square, making it easily accessible. The wide array of cuisines from various countries is a treat for foodies. Ample seating allows for a comfortable experience. The only downside is the challenging parking situation, but the flavors and atmosphere more than make up for it.
A very unique little shop! Even though we didn't make a purchase, we enjoyed browsing.
It’s a very vibrant place in Toronto with lots of ethnic shops, cafes, restaurants and art.
I loved the vibe and it’s definitely a must see!

Local arts, jewelry, gifts and more. A must see in Kensington market.
Fun place to hang out. Brings you back to a different era.diversity of cultures that make Toronto great.delicious quesadilla virrias 🐐.
Amazing owners and highly recommend to stop by this shop if you are visiting Kensington Market.
Omg I love this market. Price is right products are fresh and friendly Staff. I go every Friday
Small but great market. Great produce options as well as great baked goods. It's in a great location in a parking lot with lots of free parking which makes it very easy to load up your goods without having to walk far. All the vendors are very friendly without being pushy.
The place an interesting collection of antiques. I would have loved it even more had it housed some larger items…but it had some interesting items, especially if you want spice up the decor of our house
Loved it. So much art, so much different foods and so much culture. Absolute must when visiting Toronto. It's easy to find rare things and even easier to get a little token that reminds.ypu of this beautiful place. It's easy to get there and you're with walking distance from Yonge Dundas Square
An absolutely amazing place for local makers to showcase their work! Wengsi & Diego run this local shop with their pup Lola who you can often find sunbathing in the front and the help of a few of the vendors! An amazing team dedicated to serving the community with unique treasures for all ages and budgets! A MUST if you’re going to visit Kensington with many sweet gifts to treat yourself or someone else to.
Found it kind of disappointing. The building itself is beautiful but there weren't many vendors and prices were very high. This is not a rummage in search of deals kind of fair, but the item selection and quality isn't really up to par for a proper antique show either.
Very cute market. Will be here till October. We got cheese, sausage, honey, raw organic nuts, fruit leather packets, fruits and veggies during our visit. I wish there were more vendors and also I wish that fruits and veggies sold were strictly Canadian grown. I thought they were but turns out the fruit we bought was American grown. It was good but I wouldn't have bought it had I known originally. Gentleman selling raw nuts and dried fruit from Moldova is great. Moldova is strictly no gmp country so it felt amazing buying his products. If you haven't tried fruit leather yet, try it. Yummy delicious snack!!!
BEWARE TO VINTAGE WATCH COLLECTERS THERE IS A OLD GUY SELLING ONLY VINTAGE WATCHES DO NOT BUY ANY WATCHES FRM HIM I BOUGHT A FEW WATCHES FRM HIM PAID OVER 1500 HE DONT CHECK HIS WATCH BEFORE SELLING TO YOU GAVE ME FRANKENSTEIN WATCHES ALL PARTS ARE FRM DIFFERENT WATCH MOVEMENT OF WATCH IS FAKE HIS

Brought some Beautiful brooches from BR jewelry. Will return to get some more
They have a farmers market that started today. Every Tuesday and Friday all summer. Lots of fruits and veggies and lots other great things. The prices are pretty good.
I was definitely expecting more vendors and selection. Hopefully they pick up steam as they go, but currently not worth the trip.
My first visit to this Antique Market was such a huge letdown. It was promoted as something special, I went .. scant few vendors, not much selection. One vendor that had a few small carpets tried to justify his high price saying it was silk - it wasn’t, it was mercerized cotton, one of the oldest scams. I left with a very bad taste in my mouth because of him. Hoping in time it will become a mature vibrant scene when it grows up, and that the con wakes up to realize his deception hurts everyone’s image in the whole market! Looking forward to having a better impression in a future visit, as the hall is a lovely venue and great location!
My go to farmers market in the season . Good thig about it is its location in parking lot of the church. It means you park right infront of the stalls for free and if you by a lot and you can't carry they take your stuff to your car. I like to support our local farmers and shops. Cobs bread is sold there too . Try their scones, if you can't eat all you may freeze them. This farmers market is recommended, Fridays all the vendors are there but Tuesdays mainly fruits and vegetables. Its worth the try

Just having Cobs Bread in the mix makes it worth the trip. Plus all the fresh vegetables and fruits. No wonder all their fruits are all called "super sweet".
Great art
Blessed.
