A recent feature in the New York Times has brought international attention to Toronto's diverse food scene. Columnist Elaine Glusac detailed her experiences in an article titled "A Food Lover's Tour of Toronto," where she avoided high-profile hotspots to focus on the city's ethnic enclaves, which she described as offering some of the most interesting and varied dining available.
According to reporting from BlogTO, Glusac's itinerary included a supper club at Depanneur featuring Filipino dishes such as salad tofu and smoked eggplant. In Chinatown, she visited Chinese Bakery for cream-filled buns and sesame balls, and Rol San Restaurant for shrimp dumplings and dim sum.
Glusac also participated in a "Taste of the World" expedition hosted by Tasty Tours. BlogTO reports that this tour led the columnist through Kensington Market to several locations, including Caribbean Corner, Moonbean Coffee Company, Tibet Cafe & Bar, Takoyaki6ix, Gus Tacos, and Pancho's Bakery for dulce de leche churros.
Beyond the downtown core, the columnist traveled to Scarborough to visit Great Fountain Fast Food, Dynasty Centre, Manzou Bakery, and One2 Snacks.
Following the publication, Tasty Tours shared via Instagram that they were honored to be featured, describing Kensington Market and the wider city as a "multicultural food paradise."
