Toronto boasts one of the most diverse food cultures in the world. Every night, the city comes alive as hundreds of restaurants, bistros, pubs and diners open for hungry patrons. Now, the city's appetite has been further rejuvenated with a veritable food-cart revolution, led by a diverse fleet of mobile gourmet-food options. With carts, trucks and wagons offering the traditional (barbecue, seafood and tacos) and the not-so traditional (British, Cuban and Greek fare), the streets of the Big Smoke are full of flavour.
Written in an A—Z format for easy reference, this is the comprehensive guidebook to the best-known and most delicious street food in Toronto.
