About St. Lawrence Market

Among stalls and counters, lunch may show up before you decide what you wanted to eat. St. Lawrence's South Market gathers food vendors and is associated with the peameal bacon sandwich: cured pork loin rolled in cornmeal and served on a bun.

Walk around before ordering, leaving time to look at the produce. The farmers' market has its own schedule; don't confuse how it runs with the main hall. A late lunch fits after Casa Loma and the square.
