You can spend half of your day in Toronto just at this market. There are plenty of places to eat, drink, shop, and be merry. We got off here during our Hop On/Hop Off tour. We were overwhelmed with the places to eat. I am not sure if the locals come here to do there fresh market shopping, but it seems like a good place for it. We ate at the Carousel Bakery and were generally pleased with the results.
