St. Lawrence Market remains one of Toronto's most essential destinations, named one of the world's best food markets. Whether you are a regular or a first-time visitor, here is your updated guide to making the most of a market visit in 2026.

The Saturday Farmers' Market

Every Saturday, the north building hosts the Farmers' Market, where Ontario farmers and producers sell fresh seasonal produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and preserves directly to the public. Arriving early (before 8 AM) gets you the best selection and smallest crowds.

The Main Market Building

The south building houses the permanent market with over 120 vendors selling everything from fresh seafood and specialty meats to international foods, spices, and artisan products. Highlights include peameal bacon sandwiches, fresh pasta, and specialty cheeses.

Sunday Antique Market

The Sunday Antique Market in the north building draws collectors and browsers with vintage items, antiques, collectibles, and unique finds. It is a great complement to a weekend brunch in the neighbourhood.
