Where We Eat in Markham & Toronto

Most people come to Toronto to eat for a weekend. We live here in our van for a few weeks at a time, so we take it slow: no stuffing ourselves every meal, and plenty of room for food courts and the little places.

Our Toronto Food Map

Every spot, on one map

Everywhere we've eaten, plus everything our family keeps telling us to try, saved in one Google Maps list. Save it before your trip.

Where we've eaten

We just got here! Every place we eat on camera shows up here with what we ordered and what it cost, as each episode comes out (Tuesdays and Saturdays, 6pm ET).

On our list, not tried yet

Our family in Toronto sent us these. We haven't eaten at them yet, so no verdicts or prices, only what the family told us. When we try one, it moves up to the list above.
