For the many Torontarians living 'downtown' the St Lawrence Markets are a culinary spectacular. What you can't buy is not worth searching for. Notice the size of those lobster claws, the anti-pasto selection, fresh local and imported cheeses and a wide variety of select meats. Not only is it a place to grocery shop, but a meeting place. Many people local and tourists, like me, sitting down for a gelato or coffee (real coffee). Another appealing aspect of the markets is their location. Built in 1849, the warehouse has a romantic atmosphere, taking you back in time with its' natural lighting and aromas. Surrounding the markets are various other boutique shops, selling anything from linen, books, canadian memorabilia...the list just goes on. All the stall holders have the 'best deals' and so it is worth bargaining with them, especially towards the end of the day.
