There's no shortage of food festivals in Toronto, whether it’s a cider soiree or a full-on barbecue blowout. But there’s one delicious event that stands out from the summer festival circuit: Taste of Toronto.

Take a Bite Out of the City

Want to indulge in Toronto’s best eats and rub elbows with your favourite food personalities? Over 25 chefs and 20 restaurants will serve up bites at Taste of Toronto. It all happens June 15 to June 18 at Fort York’s Garrison Common. Tickets can be purchased at tasteoftoronto.com.

This unique food event sets itself apart from the crowd through the sheer calibre of chefs in attendance, which will impress even the most discerning of Toronto food enthusiasts.

Taste of Toronto’s lineup reads much like a “Best of the City” list. You’d be hard-pressed to find an event in Toronto where over 25 all-star food personalities – including Bar Isabel’s Grant van Gameren, Piano Piano’s Victor Barry and Buca’s Rob Gentile, to name a few – prepare gourmet dishes at one venue.

With over 20 restaurants represented, you can indulge in signature bites from old favourites and discover new flavours from hidden gems in the city.

Passionate food lovers will appreciate how Taste of Toronto has elevated the food festival experience. Of note is the Taste Theatre, where attendants can get up close and personal with guest chefs.

You won’t want to miss celeb chef and host of the Food Network’s Chopped series Aarón Sánchez. During his evening session on Saturday, June 17, he’ll share his personal tips and tricks during a live food demo.

Best of all, programming for the Taste Theatre, as well as the Metro Master Class and many other interactive activities, will be available for free on a first-come, first-served basis with your Taste of Toronto admission.

Taste of Toronto takes place at Fort York’s Garrison Common from June 15 to 18, and tickets start at just $17. Visit tasteoftoronto.com to purchase yours today.
