What a fun place to find some real bargains and some great food too! I was in Toronto for business and had one day before and one day after my meetings to explore. Day one we went downtown to explore Eaton Centre and Yonge St. Eaton Centre is a big mall which I could have found in most large cities.... more

As a first timer to this part of the city, I was a little dissapointed with Chinatown. It was very busy, worst than Christmas shopping! The people were very pushy, rude, and in a hurry. We were sardines at most of the markets, unable to move about and explore. There was a lot of very fresh meats, unusual fruits, and... more

We found the Kensington Market a refreshing take on street markets. When we heard that this was originally called the "Jewish Market", we anticipated a certain 19th century crowded image.

Walking out of China town, you take a turn in one of the streets to find yourself in a neighborhood where cultural diversity is a day to day reality: Rasta people, latinos, asian, alternatives, new wave youth, shoppers... everybody find his way! Cool bars, restaurants with nice patios, second hand and vintage shops (where I found plenty of basketball jerseys... more

A fabulous multi-ethnic experince this could be, resembling Notting Hill in London... wonderful vibe... however, the neighbourhood looks like riots took place.

However, after the cafe most of the rest of the market was a disappointment, dirty fruit stands and junky stores. We did find... more

I LOVE THE MARKET!!!. I'm from a small town in Eastern Ontario and I loved visiting and staying in the heart of the market. Where else can you find everything you need in a small area. The best coffee (Moonbean), shops and food. Toronto is usually seen by many as a large city, no one knows you etc. Kengington market... more

Being new to the Toronto area, I thought that I would explore a bit of Toronto. I had heard so much about Kensington Market so I went down there and what a disappointment! I would not recomment going at all. It was a warm day, it stank like rotton fruit, it was dirty, and as far as fresh vegetables and... more
