Toronto: Beers, Bacon, & Butter Tarts Food Tour at Toronto Food & Drink Tours

Start your tour with a local guide and a **cup of locally roasted coffee**, a staple that fueled the city’s early workforce. Walk through Old Town’s original 19th-century streets, stopping for a peameal **bacon sandwich** (vegetarian option available) at the historic St. Lawrence Market. As you visit the market and nearby streets, you’ll learn about the city’s growth from a muddy outpost to a busy city. Your guide will share stories of outbreaks, immigration, and reformers who shaped Toronto’s neighbourhoods and its food. Along the route, try a classic **Canadian butter tart**, with a few variations to choose from. Hear about some of Toronto’s lesser-known history, such as the beginnings of Canada Dry ginger ale and its popularity during Prohibition. The tour ends at a local pub, where you can **buy a craft beer and relax**.
