About the activity

We are no longer food tour guides. We are Culinary Storytellers — the neighbourhood's insiders, walking these streets since 2017. We share the flavours of the families from around the world who now call Kensington Market home. Named the #1 Food & Drink Experience in Canada by TripAdvisor (Travellers' Choice Best of the Best, 2022). Country Winner, World Luxury Travel Awards. Featured in Condé Nast Traveller and National Geographic. Like fine wine, we have aged well. Same tour since 2017 — an evolved experience. Six stops, all family-owned, 8+ cuisines: a full meal's worth of generous tastings, hand-picked from friends we've known for nearly a decade. Small groups, no lines, stories you can't Google. Bienvenue. Welcome home.

Kensington Market
Kensington Market is Toronto's most eclectic Heritage neighbourhood — a few square blocks where the whole world cooks. Once a rough-around-the-edges immigrant market, always honest, it has been our home away from home since 2017: the most diverse neighbourhood in the most diverse city in the world. We walk it the way locals do — counter by counter, friend by friend. Across six family-owned kitchens and 8+ cuisines, recent tastings have included fish and chips with kale salad, mama-recipe Jamaican patties, South American empanadas, Japanese pocket sushi, Himalayan dumplings with butter tea, and a sweet finish near Fika Cafe. The menu has changed over the years, but the spirit has not: these are the flavours our friends love, because they still remind them of the home they left behind. Small groups, always led by a veteran Culinary Storyteller. Come hungry — tastings are generous, a full meal's worth. Leave with stories you can't Google. Bienvenue. Welcome home.

Chinatown
On Kensington's eastern edge our walk brushes Toronto's Chinatown — by square footage the largest in North America, and one of four Chinatowns in Toronto. That a single city holds four tells you everything about how deep its diversity runs. We don't stop to eat here — six kitchens in Kensington will fill you — but we walk alongside more than 50 places to eat spanning 25+ nationalities of food: noodle houses, BBQ windows, dumpling counters, bakeries, bubble tea. Your Culinary Storyteller will point out where the locals actually line up, and guests regularly come back the next day with our shortlist in hand. Think of it as a preview of everything this city still has waiting for you. One walk barely scratches the surface of how Toronto eats — Kensington Market and Chinatown side by side are why we call this the most diverse neighbourhood in the most diverse city in the world: generations of new Canadians, cooking the flavours of home, next door to one another.

Sampling food of the world in Toronto
I8176CCjenniferc, October 2026
Great experience! Really enjoyed the food, a variety of cuisines from Latin America to Asia to Sweden! Perfect amount of food for our lunch, and our guide Jessica was knowledgeable and fun. She shared our passion for good food and cultural experiences.

Wonderful international food tour in Toronto’s Kensington
luv_to_travel416, October 2026
Wonderful Kensington market international food tour with Jessica! She was a lovely, knowledgeable, and flexible guide, who made the experience outstanding. We were lucky to have a small group of five people that she would have managed a larger group just as beautifully.
Response from the operator · chopsticksforks
Hi there, Thank you for this wonderful review! A group of five is a lovely way to explore Kensington. It leaves room for conversation, questions and a few detours along the way. It's great to hear Jessica was so knowledgeable and flexible. Adapting to each group is a big part of what makes a tour feel personal, and she does it beautifully, whatever the group size. I'll be sure to pass your kind words along. We'd love to have you join us again, whether in Kensington or on one of our other neighbourhood tours. Warmly, Jusep Founder, Chopsticks+Forks

Lovely tour guide, great food, interesting history
paulaaX1501EO, October 2026
Jessica was an incredible tour guide. It was a small group. She kept a steady pace, and we never felt rushed. I really enjoyed the personal stories she shared about each of the restaurants, which made me feel like she really cared about them and what they bring to the Kensington community. I would highly recommend this tour. I enjoyed all the food and was stuffed by the end.
Response from the operator · chopsticksforks
Hi Paula, Thank you for such a thoughtful review! Keeping our groups small and the pace unhurried matters a lot to us, so it means a great deal to hear you never felt rushed. You noticed something we care about deeply. The restaurants we visit aren't just stops on a route. They're family businesses and friends, and their stories are a big part of what makes Kensington so special. Jessica cares about them very much, and I'm so glad that came through. I'll make sure she sees your kind words. Being stuffed by the end is the best compliment a food tour can get! We hope to welcome you back soon. Warmly, Jusep

Ellen_A, October 2026
Very diverse and interesting food tour. Our guide, Jessica, was fun and informative. This was a great way to see a Kensington Market, taste some great food and visit an ethnic neighborhood.
Response from the operator · chopsticksforks
Hi Ellen, Thank you for joining us in Kensington Market! We're so glad the variety of food and stories made for an interesting afternoon. Kensington is one of Toronto's most vibrant neighbourhoods, shaped by generations of newcomers from all over the world, and exploring it through its food is one of the best ways to understand it. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Jessica. She brings so much energy to every tour, and it's wonderful to hear it came through. We'd love to welcome you back on your next visit to Toronto. Warmly, Jusep Founder, Chopsticks+Forks
