There are foods that make up the fabric of a city. The foods that you try to truly understand the people, the culture, and the city itself. New York has bagels and pizza, Paris has croque monsieurs and croissants, while Tokyo has sushi and matcha ice cream. But what does Toronto have?

Well, we have everything. That's part of what makes our city so great; the multiculturalism and creativity that surrounds our food culture is unlike any other. So what are the foods that every true Torontonian needs to try at least one? Let us show you:
