Overview

Step into Canada's flavours on a private culinary experience with William Jordan — co-creator of the Great Canadian Food Tour, as has been featured in National Geographic Traveller. Explore St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District as William brings the city and country's stories to life with warmth and energy.

Savour generous tastings of Canadian classics — peameal bacon sandwich, poutine, butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, Canadian gravlax, and more. Stroll at your own relaxed pace while enjoying intimate storytelling about Canadian food culture, history, and pride.

This private edition is William's own — up to 4 guests, 3 to 3.5 hours, extra stops, hidden favourites, and tastings with alcohol pairings. Less guided tour, more afternoon with an old friend who knows every doorway worth knowing.

No crowds, no rush — just a memorable, immersive storytelling experience. Perfect for families, friends, corporate groups, or celebrations of any size.

  • Old Toronto
    A casual walk along the Esplanade from the Distillery District to St. Lawrence Market.
  • St. Lawrence Market
    St. Lawrence Market, trading since 1803 and designated a National Historic Site — the city's oldest public market, and counted among the world's ten great food markets by National Geographic, ahead of London's Borough Market. Guests start at Carousel Bakery for the market's signature peameal bacon sandwich, piled high and finished with maple syrup from Indigenous women producers in Eastern Canada, then grab a Nanaimo bar to go from Eve's Temptations. Your Culinary Storyteller walks you through the stalls and their stories before continuing on to the Distillery District. This isn't a photo stop — it's where farmers have sold to the city for two centuries, where Toronto's food culture was built stall by stall, and where, for a few minutes, you're not a tourist in a market, you're a local picking up breakfast. Bienvenue. Welcome home.
